Pillows are soft and they are comfortable, and oftentimes they add significantly more to the sleeping experience than a mattress or a comforter ever could. They are the epitome of essential sleeping devices, so to speak. They can be made of all different materials and serve all sorts of different purposes. Being thus customizable, pillows are beyond compare when it comes to sleep.
They're soft and cozy and comfortable and fluffy and fuzzy and warm and in every way imaginable absolutely and completely conducive to sleep. One can use them as something to support their head, or under their stomach or back for spinal support or as something to hug in order to fall asleep. They make great emotional buffers, so to speak, in sleep and otherwise.
I never understood the value of sleeping with more than one pillow until I stayed in a hotel with five pillows per bed and an entire bed to myself. Suddenly, I figured out the incredible virtues of these delectably soft fluffy things and haven't turned back. Now, I sleep with two pillows on a regular basis and more when I can get my hands on. I'm less concerned about being on soft ground or covered with a blanket than I am with having a pillow I can hug properly.
More important, perhaps, is the adaptability of people and other various objects to be used as pillows. Humans for example, make some of the most comfortable pillows in the world. They're huggable. They're soft. They're warm. And you can usually find at least a part of them that is exactly the size and shape you need for your ideal pillow. Other objects can function similarly but aren't nearly as much fun to use for pillows as people.
Summary: pillows are awesome.
