Pillows are a status symbol, not unlike cars, clothes, and the length of your fingernails. A lot of pillows says "My body is too good to come into contact with even my 3000 thread count silk sheets" or "I so much leisure time that I can afford to spend 10 minutes throwing the pillows off my bed every night and another 20 putting them back on..... what am I saying.... the maid does that for me."
The point is that if you walk into a house and are shocked by the number of pillows, that means you couldn't afford to even lay under their bed. That's your sign to lower your head and avoid eye contact so as not to challenge dominance, and then slowly back out of the house. As soon as you clear the threshold, turn around and run back to your pillowless bed and cry yourself to sleep.
