Tyynynä

Tyynynä is a Finnish word that translates to "pillow" in English. In its most common usage, tyynynä refers to a soft cushion used for resting the head, typically on a bed. These items are designed for comfort and support during sleep, and are often filled with materials such as feathers, down, synthetic fibers, or memory foam.

Beyond its primary function for sleeping, the term tyynynä can also encompass other types of cushions. This can include decorative pillows placed on sofas or chairs, which serve an aesthetic purpose as well as providing additional comfort. In some contexts, it might even refer to a bolster or a small, firm cushion used for specific support or decorative arrangements. The word itself implies something that provides softness, cushioning, or a place to rest. The grammatical form "tyynynä" specifically indicates the pillow in its state of being, such as "as a pillow" or "being a pillow."
