How it's used
Refers specifically to the thick, cushioned item placed on a bed frame or directly on the floor for sleeping. While it functions similarly to 床褥, 墊褥 often carries a slightly more functional or portable nuance, sometimes implying a pad or mat rather than a full-sized bed mattress.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 坐墊, which refers to a small cushion for sitting on a chair or the floor. Using 墊褥 for a small seat cushion will sound like you are carrying a full-sized mattress around.
