Iβm undecided between 2 and 3
If your answer is more than βoneβ, it usually means you donβt have the right pillow for your sleeping position. I have broad shoulders and I was a side sleeper. I used two pillows for the longest time, otherwise I had to twist my shoulder in while sleeping, or tilt my head towards the bed, neither being really comfortable for long time periods. Then I bought a thick foam one on sale in some random store I was at, and it made a world of a difference.
I would use only one if I could find one I like that is thick enough. For a while I put two in one pillow case but the result was too oval in side profile.
Maybe some of those foam chunk pillows with adjustable loft. Basically the case has a zipper in it and you can move fill from one to another.
I bought a pair of these and some waterproof zip cases and ended up with 3 pillows I like instead of 2 because they both needed to lose about a third of their volume to be right for me.
I canβt deal with more than one.
As a kid I used to sleep with none. As a teen a towel was enough. In my 20s I was happy with one thin pillow. Now in my 40s I have one average pillow and I feel like upgrading.
you donβt need multiple pillows you need one that has the right thickness
0 or 1. 2+ is incredibly bad for your neck and sleep. Or you just have paper thin very old pillows and you should replace them with a high quality pillow. I use a Coop brand pillow and itβs customizable to whatever thickness works best for you. Get a good pillow and use 1. Donβt use more.

I canβt even imagine what it would look like for someone to use more than 1 pillow. Like, how is their body not contorted into a horribly uncomfortable position?
One, anything else is pure decadence (unless you have a neck issue or something).
