Yeah that could work.  Different pillows are going to have different sound characteristics.  You have to mod your pillows for the best soundstage and bass response. 

dont forget the sheets!
I heard good sheet can increase soundstage!
9/10 hifi-nerds recommend using wooden legs on the bed.
tenth got the best results on hanging net between two trees (oak trees are recommended because they tighten up bass and balance mids and hights)

Yes, I owned them both and spend many happy nights listening to them in bed. but if you move around a lot the LCD cups will sometimes slide off your head. its no problem cause by then you are in dreamland. On head fi, you better believe somebody will know the answer to your question about listening to specific headphones in bed!

I think this is a very good question lol.  Not so much because i understand your problem but because you've ruled out having to stress yourself over these forums by having to judge what headphones sound "the very best" but as to which one of these obviously awesome headphones will i be able to lay down in bed with.  AWESOME!!!! Good luck

Wow those do look nice.  There's so many bad audiophile jokes I want to make about silky treble...

 
But in all seriousness, I've never noticed/heard a headphone that is so sensitive to the open backed cups getting blocked as the HE6.  If you are even an inch away you can hear a difference.  It's because they are very open, and planars push a lot of backwave out the back of the driver, much more than conventional dynamics.  The LCD-2's magnet structure doesn't allow as much backwave out the back.  So it's actually true that you can't use the HE6 with fluffy pillows.

How about turn the pillow the long way?

 

[Vegeta55555]

you need pillows that suits perfect with your head, because then the HE6 has enough backwave.

A word of caution though- a buddy of mine once told me an almost Darwin award tale about his experience with fullsize phones in bed. So he likes to sleep with them on. The other thing he does while sleeping is rolling around in the bed. I don't know, maybe it's because of the music or something. So he ended up reeling the wire around his neck. He told me that he woke up in the middle of the night with a suffocating sensation. I don't really think that the wire can suffocate you, but pushing on the arteries can't be healthy either. Also guys sleeping on the top bunk must look out for falling out of the bed. Though that's a little far fetched. You won't hang yourself, I guess.... Just pull your amp on top of you when falling down, hehe.

I've never bed my HE-6 yet.

Headphones are cheaper, require less upkeep.

Lmao.

I use my LCD-2's in bed all the time, while propped up using a laptop or even while sleeping.  If you're a roller (or have a significant other next to you) then its a no go though.
