Definition
Material or substance used to provide comfort, protection, or absorption of shock. The act of softening impact or making something more comfortable.
Etymology
From Old French 'coussin', from Latin 'culcita' meaning 'mattress or pillow'. The '-ing' suffix indicates the ongoing action or material used for the purpose.
Kelly Says
Modern cushioning technology borrowed from space programs - memory foam was originally developed by NASA to improve crash protection for pilots. Now the same material that once protected astronauts helps us sleep better every night.
