How it's used
Derived from the English word cushion, this term is exclusively used for soft decorative pillows found on sofas or chairs. It is not used for the padded seat of a chair itself, which would be referred to as 凳墊. You will often hear it used in home furnishing contexts when shopping at stores like IKEA.
