Pileteissä

Pileteissä, also known as pilet, are traditional Finnish sauna benches made from birch wood. They are typically used in sauna rooms to provide a comfortable and convenient seating option for sauna-goers. Pileteissä are usually placed in pairs, with one bench facing the sauna stove and the other facing the door or window. This arrangement allows for easy access to the sauna and provides a place to rest and relax after a sauna session.

The design of pileteissä is simple and functional, with a flat seat and backrest made from a single piece of birch wood. The benches are often stained or painted to protect the wood and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the sauna room. Some pileteissä may also feature decorative carvings or engravings, adding a touch of traditional Finnish craftsmanship to the sauna environment.

Pileteissä are an essential component of the Finnish sauna experience, providing a comfortable and convenient seating option for sauna-goers. They are typically used in conjunction with other sauna accessories, such as sauna robes and towels, to create a relaxing and rejuvenating atmosphere. The use of pileteissä in sauna rooms is a reflection of the importance of comfort and convenience in the Finnish sauna culture.
