Why do men hate throw pillows?

[Bader]

Wait, so a duvet is something you cover your comforter with? Is that also "thrown" when you go to bed?

[aeroclone]

This. THey may look nice, but they suck to rest your head on, and are usually in the way, most often when you are tired, or trying to get comfortable. And if you don have a good place to put them, then they jsut get knocked to the floor. Other than looking nice, they serve no purpose.

The **** is a duvet?

Let me google that for you

The better question is why do you like them? What are three practical reasons you need throw pillows?

It's like a pillow cover for your comforter. Even when Googling back in our wedding registry days, my husband and I didn't know wtf it was. Pretty nifty, actually. Can change it out to wash and not have to wash the whole big comforter.

Sweet! Now I can clean up my dog's puke without having to take my comforter to get dry cleaned. I love this board.

[cowgirl836]

I'd probably still get that dry cleaned. Or make the dog puke elsewhere.

Throw pillows = decorative pillows, fabric usually matching duvet cover

Duvet = cover for down comforter

Did not expect this many responses so quickly

isnt a comforter already covered, by itself?

I don't think so, at least not the ones we looked at. The comforter goes inside the duvet cover, which you then button up at one end. Similar to a pillowcase or pillow protector.

thanks bud!

Just changed to my winter duvet cover and it has lots of pillows that match (like 6). I know the first thing I'm going to hear is "why do we have to have all of these pillows".

What's wrong with throw pillows?

because they are stupid. like pencil with no lead. what's the point?

only place they should be thrown is in the garbage. but i guess if you don't mind picking them up off of the floor every morning when your husband throws them off the bed i suppose there isn't any problem. i hope you don't expect him to place them back on the bed each day. i wouldn't.

And then the comforter slides inside the cover, causing one end to be bulky and one end to be empty, causing the comforter to no be uniform and even more frustrating then need be.

We know what a duvet is, we are civilized after all.

[CLONECONES]

if the women didn't go "WHYD YA JUST THROW THAT ON THE FLOOR" every single time and moved/replaced it themselves

no problem.

[brianhos]

Throw pillows do serve a purpose, they make certain things more comfortable. They are just not made to rest your head on.

The comforter is white and the cover gives the room some color. The pillows provide color, shape, texture ... and other design elements. (Husband is an architect but doesn't appreciate the elements of throw pillows)
