pillowed

Resting on softness

Pillowed describes something resting on or as if on a pillow, suggesting soft support or cushioning: She lay with her head pillowed on his chest.

The word often appears in literary or poetic contexts to evoke comfort or gentleness: clouds pillowed against the mountains.

It can also mean furnished with pillows: a pillowed sofa.
