tyynyt

Tyynyt are cushions used for head and neck support during sleep or while sitting. The Finnish term tyynyt is the plural of tyyny and is used to describe both functional pillows and decorative cushions in households. In everyday use, tyynyt come in various shapes and sizes to suit beds, couches, and travel needs.

Common fillings include down and feather, memory foam, latex, and synthetic fibers such as polyester. Covers are made from cotton, cotton blends, linen, or microfiber. Sleeping pillows are typically rectangular, around 50 by 60 cm, while decorative cushions (sisustustyynyt) vary more in shape and size. Ergonomic and contoured designs are available to support proper head and neck alignment.

In Nordic markets, there is a focus on breathable fabrics and simple, functional designs that suit both sleep and contemporary interiors. Travel pillows provide compact support for on-the-go use. Materials and construction may vary to address allergies, temperature regulation, and personal preference.

Care and maintenance vary by filling and cover; many pillow covers are machine washable, while inner fillings may require spot cleaning or professional care. Most sleeping pillows should be replaced every one to two years to maintain support and hygiene. Regular airing and the use of pillow protectors can extend lifespan and reduce odors.

Tyynyt are a basic element of bedding and interior comfort, balancing function, comfort, and design. They are widely used in bedrooms, living rooms, and hospitality settings to support restful sleep and enhance decor.
