soft surfaces

Things that give

Soft surfaces are materials that yield to pressure or absorb impact—carpets, upholstered furniture, mattresses, fabric.

The term appears most often in contexts where surface texture matters: cleaning instructions, infection control, acoustic design.

The virus survives longer on hard surfaces than soft surfaces.

Vacuum all soft surfaces weekly.
