I sleep with two pillows to prop me up due to hemoptysis sometimes, and I also have a body pillow that I "cuddle" for support during the night.

I think of it as getting me head in a good position with my neck (so my neck isn't bent or "kinked" upward or downward due to too much or too little pillow).

I do pretty much the same thing. I sleep mostly on my stomach with my head turned. I usually have my arms crossed under the pillows. Having my arms outstretched like that keeps my torso stretched out making it easier to breathe. Nothing's foolproof though. If I'm having a really tough time, I sleep sitting up in the recliner.
I used to have a papasan chair, and I slept in that thing like a bird in a nest..lol

My father fixed the frame of my bed so the actual whole head of the bed frame is elevated.... I sleep with three additional pillows under my head, some under my knees and one behind my back.. ( I sleep on my side.)
I love pillows...

For me, it's always been a few. I have one of those bulky pillows with the arms on either side, then I have two regulars. So 3 total, but the big one kind of counts for more than one. *shrug*
