cushion
Soft sitting surface
A cushion is a soft pad used for sitting, kneeling, or resting against—typically a fabric case stuffed with foam, feathers, or other yielding material.
Cushion extends to anything that absorbs impact or provides a buffer: a cushion of air, a financial cushion.
To cushion is to soften a blow or protect from harsh effects: Savings cushioned the loss of her job.
