Tyynynoin

Tyynynoin is a Finnish word that translates to "pillowcase" in English. It refers to the outer covering for a pillow, typically made of fabric, designed to protect the pillow from dirt and wear, and to provide a comfortable surface for resting one's head. Pillowcases are an essential part of bedding, contributing to hygiene and the aesthetic appeal of a bedroom.

The design and material of tyynynoin can vary widely. Common fabrics include cotton, linen, silk, and various synthetic blends. These materials are chosen for their breathability, softness, and durability. Cotton is a popular choice due to its comfort and ease of care, while silk is often favored for its luxurious feel and skin benefits.

Tyynynoin typically come in standard sizes to fit common pillow dimensions, such as those used for sleeping or decorative purposes. They are usually fastened with an opening on one side, which can be a simple envelope closure, a flap, or buttons. Decorative tyynynoin may feature intricate patterns, embroidery, or special finishes to enhance the bedroom decor. They are regularly washed and changed to maintain cleanliness and freshness.
