Do you have this problem? The pillows you sleep with are impossible to make your bed look nice. I’m a side sleeper so my pillow looks like a brick. My husband is a stomach sleeper so his pillow is thin (it gets so thin and small I’ve nicknamed it the ‘napkin’.

How do you make your bed so it doesn’t look lopsided?

Here’s what I did for the last photo shoot I did. I stacked pillows and changed them out. Then afterwards I thought this is ridiculous! I shouldn’t have to change out pillows just for a photo shoot.

  1. Hi Jaime
    I use 3 European square pillow and tuck my sleeping pillows behind them and all my decorative pillows in front. Get lots of compliments on my beautiful bed. So easy. My husband pillows and mine are also very different.

    1. Hi Vicky,
      I’ve done that before too! Love European pillows. When I changed my bedding, I had a hard time finding Euro sized pillows in the same fabric. I’m sure your bed is so beautiful!
      Hugs, Jamie
