queen pillow vs king pillow - single sleeper on queen size bed

ok the title pretty much says it - i am one person sleeping on a queen size bed and i’m not the type of person who is into decoration so i will only have one pillow …

i find the standard 26" pillow to be a bit short, but i have never tried any other sizes. i know i want at least the 30" queen pillow but i am not sure if i would like the 36" king or if it would feel too cumbersome ?

i tried researching this but silly Americans it seems are only able to think about how the pillows will look on the bed when nobody is sleeping in it - it did not occur to them that pillows are for sleeping on, not decoration … also since Americans can’t do math they can’t figure out for example that 60 / 2 = 30 so they constantly need to ask each other which size pillow will fit on their bed … …

i remember back in USSR we always heard these stories about how silly Americans are - i never believed them - they seemed too far fetched - of course reality turned out to be much worse than anything anybody could have imagined … i swear, Americans are like spoiled children - we go around the world dropping Nukes and Napalm on people and Shelling them with Depleted Uranium and then we come home and throw a fit because our pillow doesn’t match the aesthetics of our mattress … i have been living here for the better part of my life and i still can’t wrap my head around it …

anyway i only care about sleeping comfort - would you prefer 36" wide or 30" wide pillow if you had room to spare ?

hi g1981c,

My own preferences aren’t really relevant to anyone else (and this is strictly a preference or cosmetic issue) but I personally prefer queen size pillows over King … they just “fit” my sleeping style and subjective comfort preferences better.
