Does sleeping "With pillow" actually do anything?

[The early worm deserves the bird]

I can't find any solid evidence for this. Does a pillow upgrade the bed to give you a better sleep quality? Turning an average bed into a good bed? Does it do anything if the bed is already "good" for resting?

yep - it makes the sore neck not happen as much

So that's it? Does it also improve the bed quality or just make it so that you don't wake up with a stiff neck?

In build 42, pillows decrease the chance of neck pain when sleeping on low-quality beds, and modestly increase the quality of beds.

Thats all they do.


Edit: Sleeping on a bed of "average" or "poor" quality (or the floor) will reduce the rate at which tiredness disappears, and the player will wake up without being fully rested while also being potentially sore in the neck.

This is purely based on personal experience.
When I used the pillow on a good quality bed, it seemed to take longer than usual for the "fatigue" icon to disappear.
I also felt like I was sleeping longer.
I haven't used a pillow since.

It might be more effective if the quality of your bed is below average.

i use a mod that shows my fatigue in numbers. with the pillow and i wake up naturally, my fatigue will zero out. without the pillow there is usually about 10/100 left on my fatigue bar

This is even on a good quality bed?

I have 2 pillows on a king size bed. And I wake up sometimes at 10/100 and sometimes at 0/100. Depends on how tired I am when I go to bed.

How do we use a pillow? Having it in our inventory, or putting it on the floor, but it looks like it's on the bed?

When you put it on the bed you need to right click the exact tile of the bed it is placed on to get the effect.
In the context menu you get the info "with pillow" if you're clicking the correct tile.
Apparently you can also have the pillow in your main inventory for the same effect.

I think you need to left click ON the pillow, it's a little intuitive.

Excellent. Thanks!

[rmemech]

clicking on the square tile of your bed that has the pillow placed on it, the option will say it has a pillow if you placed it correctly

It will be a trend at Knox to have four pillows on the king bed to ensure pillow use.

Putting money stacks on the bed should have your happiness increase.

I guess kindling is important to have so we could also add a happiness boost to having twigs and toilet paper.
