I had been sleeping on the same bed for many years. I decided to buy a complete new bedroom set, even though I only really needed a mattress and box springs. After getting home with the new set and putting it all together, I realized that I should have bought new pillows. I had already recently purchased a new comforter set. I went to another store and bought a set of new pillows. When returning home with them, I realized they looked too small for my bed. I had to make one more trip back to the store again to exchange them for a bigger size. I bought queen size pillows since I had a queen size bed. I never paid enough attention to the size. I only first paid attention to how it felt. It looks much better now with the right size pillows.
