How it's used
Focuses on a pleasant, yielding texture that feels high quality or well made. It is frequently used to describe baked goods like bread or cakes, as well as bedding and upholstery. Unlike the generic term 軟, which simply means soft, this implies a positive, desirable softness that is satisfying to touch or use.
Examples
This pillow is very soft and comfortable, it feels great to sleep on.
The bread you made is so soft and fluffy, how did you make it?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe people who are physically weak or lacking willpower, as 軟 usually carries that negative connotation while 軟熟 is strictly reserved for physical textures.
