Narrative:

When pre-flighting the cabin for flight abc; it was noticed that there were no pillows at all brought on board for the pilot crew rest facility. This flight originally begins in ZZZZ1 it makes a short stop in ZZZZ then continues to ZZZ.the pilots who originate the beginning of flight abc in ZZZZ1 should preflight the entire airplane including provisioning for the crew rest on the longer section from ZZZZ to ZZZ. There is no provisioning allowed at all in ZZZZ.the flight attendants were able to find three first class seats that were unoccupied and pillows from those seats; note that this is less provisioning per pilot than normal (1 pillow vs 2) and one pilot which happens to be myself which received no pillows at all.in this one instance I happened to find pillows that were tucked into our used bedding area in the crew bunk. It became a decision between canceling a flight due to a lack of pillows or me using the used pillows from the inbound aircraft X from ZZZ to ZZZZ.I feel it is unacceptable to be forced into a situation of using used bedding especially in this time of a pandemic or canceling a flight. The decision to accept the used bedding was mine and I did get rest on the flight as I should have but the concerns of using potentially tainted pillows and blankets I feel is unacceptable and this should be corrected.
