tuffet
Cushioned footstool seat
A tuffet is a low seat or footstool, or a small grassy mound or clump of grass.
The word survives almost entirely through the nursery rhyme "Little Miss Muffet," where she sits on one before being frightened by a spider.
Outside that context, tuffet appears only in deliberately quaint or literary usage.
