uncushioned
Lacking soft material
Uncushioned describes something lacking padding or soft material for comfort.
An uncushioned seat offers no give against hard surfaces: The uncushioned wooden benches left us sore after the long ceremony.
The word extends to anything without buffering or protection: an uncushioned fall, the uncushioned impact of bad news.
