cushiony
Like a pillow
Cushiony describes something soft and yielding like a cushion—plush, padded, or pleasantly springy: The cushiony carpet felt wonderful under bare feet.
The word suggests comfortable give rather than firm support.
It's informal and slightly playful, often describing textures that invite sinking into them: a cushiony sofa, cushiony moss.
