sidenörngott

A sidenörngott is a type of pillowcase, specifically designed to hold a body pillow. The term originates from Swedish, where "siden" means silk and "nörngott" translates to pillowcase. Therefore, a sidenörngott is typically a silk pillowcase intended for a long, cylindrical pillow.

These pillowcases are often favored for their smooth texture and potential benefits for skin and hair. Silk's natural properties are said to reduce friction, which can help prevent hair breakage and reduce sleep creases on the face compared to rougher fabrics like cotton. Additionally, silk is a breathable material and can help regulate body temperature, making it comfortable to sleep on.

Sidenörngott are usually found in a range of colors and sizes to accommodate different body pillows. They are cared for similarly to other silk garments, often requiring gentle washing to maintain the integrity of the fabric. While the name implies silk, some pillowcases marketed as sidenörngott may also be made from high-quality satin or other smooth synthetic materials that mimic the feel of silk. The primary function remains to encase a body pillow, offering a comfortable and potentially beneficial sleeping surface.
