Apparantly they make the bed look nice or something. As a woman myself, i cannot understand it either. I leave the sheets open all day, so the bed can properly air out. Much healthier.
In case the Archbishop or the President decides to drop in and passes by the bedroom on their way to the loo, they can see you don’t live like heathens or neanderthals. This is up there on my list of pet peeves, along with decorative soap, towels, candles, or anything else normally utilitarian.
I had a stepmother who was so proud of her dining room table that she kept it covered in at least two tablecloths at all times. You couldn’t see what she was so proud of.
I used to deplore extra pillows, especially a plethora of throw pillows, but my husband and I both read in bed, and one night after returning from a business trip he said, “You know, it’s actually kind of convenient to have all those extra pillows they have in hotels. You can use one to prop up better for reading.” That was a revelation; now we actually use the pillow shams that came with our comforter/bedspread; those pillows are our “propping-up” pillows, and they do make reading in bed a lot more comfortable.
My late mother-in-law covered every sitting and sleeping surface with throw pillows. It took five minutes to remove and find them an out of the way place before we could go to bed.
To say I despise throw pillows would be an understatement. Won’t have them.
They do not make a bed/sofa/chair/whatever look nice. Just makes them look cluttered and signal you are not welcome. Did her chair have a throw pillow on it? Nope.
That’s me in the strip in every hotel room I’ve been in. I usually stuff all the extra pillows onto the top shelf in the closet and let the maid find them after I check out.
I keep asking my wife the same question, especially when she’ll take off the top two layers of pillows and throw them into the closet before she goes to bed.

Never understood their purpose, either…

Because they’re cozy and homey and fuzzy and colorful and fluffy and cuddly and stuffed animals are too childish.
