fluffiness

Light, airy texture

Fluffiness is the quality of being fluffy—soft, light, and airy, like freshly whipped cream or a well-groomed cat's fur.

The word applies both to physical texture and to content that lacks substance or depth: The fluffiness of the pillow was perfect for sleeping, but the fluffiness of the article left readers wanting more.

In baking, fluffiness is often the goal, achieved through proper leavening or vigorous beating.
