Drowining In Bedtime Headtime
One of the things I can’t figure out about hotel rooms is why, when there’s a window and a view, the desk is always facing a wall.
And here’s another one: why are there so many pillows on the bed!?
Seriously. I mean how many pillows does one need to sleep? Not only are there pillows on top of the sheets but there are pillows on top of pillows. And, if that’s not enough, there are more pillows stacked up in the closet.
Here’s a thought: Instead of spending money on all those pillows, how about not charging me a “resort fee.”
Listen, I know you ladies like to have pillows. Any guy who has been in a girl’s bedroom knows this to be the case. I’ve sometimes spent more time removing pillows from a girl’s bed than I’ve spent taking off her clothes (in some cases, a lot more time, especially if tequila has been a factor).
But I’ve been to hotel rooms with seven or eight pillows are on the bed. What the heck do you do with all of them when you’re ready for bed? I’ve tried placing them to the side of me, on unoccupied parts of the bed, on the floor, and on more than one occasion have – in a fit of frustration – hurled them across the room.
I certainly understand it’s important for hotels to have a variety of pillow to suit the tastes of all guests. Personally, I like big and fluffy, but not stiff. I also don’t like the pillows in which your face sinks all the way to the mattress when you put your head on it.
Other people, I know, can’t sleep unless the pillow is really puffy, stiff or limp.
I also like having an extra pillow to prop up against the headboard to sit up and a smaller one to put my laptop on while I blog in bed.
But when one bed has more pillows than I’ve ever owned in my life, that’s too excessive for me.
So why do hotel rooms have so many pillows? This is one of the great travel mysteries of our day.
Cheers!
