Why do men hate throw pillows?

[CLONECONES]

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)

a bed is a bed, not an easel for artistic exploration IMHO

They're like a necktie for your bed??

[MeanDean]

Wait. I thought throw pillows were on the couch and love seat.

Now I guess the 'cute' thing to do is pile them all over the top half of the bed so you can't crawl in without knocking them all out of the way.

Bring back the patchwork quilt and the blue and white striped feather pillow with a white pillow case and a couple of sheets and that's plenty cute enough for me.

Depends on what your definition of "artistic exploration" is...

Well to be fair to him he is an architect not an interior designer.

So where are you supposed to put the throw pillows when you go to bed? I throw the one on my side and the one in the middle on the floor and crawl in bed. If I go to bed first I get into trouble if I don't throw Mrs. Velo's on the floor for her. Really? It's that big of a deal?

WTF are throw pillows?

My initial thought as well.

[leroycyclone]

Extra pillows are a necessity. Prop up your head while watching TV. Prop up a book or iPad. Support while sleeping.

[driegner]

They serve no purpose. They're not comfortable and it's just something that has to be moved daily

Logged in just to "like" this.

Worthless!!! I get yelled at when I throw them across the room, so I claim false advertisement. Could also have to do with who i am throwing them at. I'll get back to you...

[CtownCyclone]

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

Please explain. Feel free to use pictures if necessary, as I am a visual learner.

If you were all as smart as you think you are, you would have a duvet for your duvet! When my duvet's duvet gets dirty, I dont have to clean my duvet, I can just wash the duvet's duvet. Plus my duvet's duvet is much more attractive than the duvet.
Is this what the better homes and gardens message board is like?

I think we are being trolled by the OP! But Im kind of enjoying it.

[scyclonekid]

You sleep and screw on the bed why dress it up when it's only going to get dirty anyway.

[Prone2Clone]

We have them on our couch. My wife is always complaining about how they end up on the floor. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I need to sit on the couch. This is why the pillows are on the floor. Couches are for peoples' butts, not pillows. Pillows go on the bed. But only two. To sleep with.

So I just googled this shiz to find out what everyone's talking about, and I can now definitively say that I HATE throw pillows. Anytime I visit my parents, I throw all of these stupid things on the floor from the guest room bed just so I can lay down on it. A bed is for holding people, not a ridiculously huge-*** pile of worthless pillows. No ******* bed should ever look like this:

[CyCrazy]

Throw pillows = decorative pillows, fabric usually matching duvet cover

Duvet = cover for down comforter

Did not expect this many responses so quickly

Duvet? Did this just turn into BedbathandBeyondfanatic.com?
