refluffing
Making fluffy again
Refluffing is restoring something soft to its original puffy state—shaking out a pillow, aerating cushions, or reviving matted fabric.
The word appears in household contexts where items have gone flat or compressed: She spent the morning refluffing the couch pillows.
Figuratively, refluffing can mean refreshing or revitalizing something that has lost its appeal.
