cushion

A cushion is a soft, padded piece of furniture or material that provides comfort when sitting or lying down.

We often use cushions on our chairs and sofas at home to make them more comfortable. You might have a throw pillow with a fun design on your couch, or a lumbar cushion in your car for long drives. Cushions are also used to protect things from bumps and shocks - like the bumpers of your bike or the corners of your furniture. Sometimes, people even use cushions as decorative elements in their interior design, placing them on floors or walls to add some color and style.
