If I understand correctly, tiling window managers don't put windows on top of one another. On my laptop that would mean I have crazily small windows.

i3 will open a window full screen, then depending on if you tell it to open the next vertically or horizontally it will split the screen into 2, then for the third it will split the room the currently focused window has into half, again vertically or horizontally. You can make the windows show as tabs if you want too. If there are too many windows you can move them around in different workspaces( default is super+shift+q) and then move between workspaces with super+123...0 An exception to this are dialogue windows. Also if you so desire you can switch a window from tilling to floating mode, but that doesn't work very well in my experience.
