downier
Fluffier and softer
Downier is the comparative form of downy, meaning softer or more covered with fine, fluffy fibers resembling down—the soft underfeathers of birds.
Something downier than another thing has a lighter, fluffier texture: The newer blanket is downier than the old one.
The word can also describe surfaces covered with fine fuzz: a downier peach.
