If your answer is more than “one”, it usually means you don’t have the right pillow for your sleeping position. I have broad shoulders and I was a side sleeper. I used two pillows for the longest time, otherwise I had to twist my shoulder in while sleeping, or tilt my head towards the bed, neither being really comfortable for long time periods. Then I bought a thick foam one on sale in some random store I was at, and it made a world of a difference.
I would use only one if I could find one I like that is thick enough. For a while I put two in one pillow case but the result was too oval in side profile.
Maybe some of those foam chunk pillows with adjustable loft. Basically the case has a zipper in it and you can move fill from one to another.
I bought a pair of these and some waterproof zip cases and ended up with 3 pillows I like instead of 2 because they both needed to lose about a third of their volume to be right for me.

I strongly prefer a 2 stage pillow, I’m happiest with 2.
Bottom is firm, top is soft. This allows me to maintain a generally consistent height, but move and adjust the top to suit different positions
