Hi Sue I only use one pillow at a time. I have two more on the go with a pretty cover cloth on each, but I only have one pair of hands and one brain to work them. (One is the clock face that is on the front cover of my Bucks book.) However I sometimes have as many as 240 pairs on one pillow so more bobbins are always useful. As I use different thicknesses of threads I need bobbins and spangles of different weights to suit them and it is not fun respangling 100 bobbins because I need them lighter or heavier for a particular piece. I have recently been playing this game when I found some 240/2 and needed very light spangles.
Perhaps you are not so impressed now, especially as the clock face has not moved for over 6 years.

Alex, I'm impressed - I presume only one decorative one means you have only one pillow on the go at any one time!!
