sagginess

Lack of tautness

Sagginess is the quality of drooping or hanging loosely, lacking firmness or tautness.

The word applies to skin that has lost elasticity, furniture cushions past their prime, or anything that sinks where it should hold shape: The sagginess of the old mattress made sleeping uncomfortable.
