downiest
Softest and fluffiest
Downiest is the superlative of downy—the most soft, fluffy, or covered with fine feathers or hair.
Down is the layer of soft feathers closest to a bird's skin, prized for insulation: the downiest pillow I've ever owned.
By extension, anything exceptionally soft and delicate: the downiest peach fuzz, a baby's downiest hair.
