A "yastık" is a Turkish word that translates to "pillow" in English. It is a soft cushion used to support the head and neck while sleeping or resting. Yastık can be made from various materials, including cotton, polyester, or memory foam, and is often covered with fabric for comfort and aesthetics. In addition to providing comfort, yastık plays a role in maintaining proper spinal alignment during sleep. Different types of yastık are available, such as orthopedic pillows designed to support specific sleeping positions, ensuring a better night's rest and overall health.
