upholstered
Padded with fabric
Upholstered describes furniture covered with padding, fabric, leather, or other soft material: an upholstered armchair, upholstered in velvet.
The word implies cushioned comfort rather than bare wood or metal.
Figuratively, well-upholstered describes a person who is plump or generously padded themselves.
