plushiness

Quality of softness

Plushiness is the quality of being plush—soft, luxurious, and richly comfortable.

The word describes the tactile appeal of velvet upholstery, thick carpets, or well-padded furniture: the plushiness of the hotel's bedding.

It extends to general opulence: The resort's plushiness justified its prices.
