I sleep on two pillows

Two pillows do not make one taller pillow. They make a WEDGE — the top one slides, the pair meets at an angle, and the surface your head lands on is neither level nor stable. Reaching for a second is still real information: your target loft is above what one pillow gives you. The stack correctly identifies the shortfall and then solves it badly.
