yielding
Soft and pliable
Yielding describes giving way under pressure or force.
A yielding surface is soft and pliable: The yielding mattress molded to her body.
A yielding person is compliant or submissive, quick to defer to others' wishes.
In driving, yielding means allowing others the right of way.
The word suggests accommodation rather than resistance—sometimes admirably flexible, sometimes too easily bent.
