floatier
Less likely sinking
Floatier is the comparative form of floaty, describing something lighter, airier, or more buoyant than another: This fabric is floatier than the silk we looked at yesterday.
The word applies to physical sensations, textures, or dreamy mental states: The second glass of wine left her feeling even floatier.
