🌍

Contexto cultural

The 'Tör' is the most respected part of a Kazakh home. When a guest is invited to sleep there, the host provides the 'жұмсақ төсек' as a sign of ultimate hospitality. Traditional bedding consisted of 'Körpe' (quilts). A 'soft bed' was achieved by stacking many layers of these handmade, wool-filled quilts. A 'soft bed' is part of the 'Otau' (new yurt/home) setup for newlyweds, symbolizing a smooth and comfortable life together. In modern cities like Almaty or Astana, 'жұмсақ төсек' is a common marketing term for high-end orthopedic mattresses in luxury furniture stores.
