That sounds great! A good pillow can really make a difference.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Fluffier → It is formed from "fluff" (originating from the Middle English *fluffe*, meaning soft or light material) and the suffix "-ier" (indicating a comparative form). The word "fluffier" means having more fluff or being softer and lighter in comparison to something else.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'soft' ('fluff') and 'more' of it ('-ier') — that's why fluffier means more soft and light.
