tufted

Bearing soft clusters

Tufted describes something having or forming tufts—small clusters or bunches of threads, fibers, feathers, or hair attached at a base: a tufted rug, a tufted headboard, the tufted ears of a lynx.

In upholstery, tufted means secured with buttons or stitches that create a pattern of indentations: a tufted leather sofa.
