A cushion is a placeable entity that can be sat on. Cushions can be placed on any surface within any block in the game, excluding fluids and a few invisible blocks, and break shortly after their supporting block is removed.
Obtaining
Breaking
Cushions are entities, meaning they cannot be mined like a typical block. Instead, cushions immediately break when attacked, including with projectiles, or by non-player entities, even if the damage received is 0. A cushion also breaks when a piston attempts to move it in Java Edition. In Bedrock Edition, cushions can be moved by a piston if there is a block in front of the piston. Cushions always drop themselves when broken.
Like paintings and item frames, cushions also break if they don't have a support block. The existence of a support block is checked every 100 game ticks (5 seconds), starting when the entity is loaded.

Natural generation
Cushions can be found naturally in abandoned camps. They normally spawn within 1~2 blocks of a campfire, assuming the camp generates with one. The color depends on the template, with all 16 are generated. See Abandoned Camp § Components for more details.

Usage
Cushions can be placed on any flat surface, and align horizontally to the grid unless teleported, but vertically sit on top of the supporting surface. They break if their supporting surface is removed or if they are pushed by a piston. Since they are entities with a finite amount of health, they also break after a few seconds if placed in lava.
They can be sat on by pressing use on them.
Cushions cannot move, do not have collision, and can overlap with other objects, except for other cushions. This means they can rest properly on top of any surface which is less than one block in height, including snow layers, wildflowers, enchanting tables, slabs, and stairs. Cushions placed on the lower step of stairs are partly obscured by the upper step of the stairs. Players cannot be affected by portals or forms of movement (e.g. knockback, geysers and pistons) while sitting on a cushion, but will become affectable again once they dismount.
Fuel
Cushions can be used as fuel in furnaces, smelting one item per cushion (burn time of 200 game ticks (10 seconds) when used in a regular furnace).
Vibration interactions
Unlike other wool-based blocks, cushions do not dampen vibrations from sculk sensors or sculk shriekers. Walking, sprinting, jumping, sitting on, and getting off a cushion produce detectable vibrations.
In Bedrock Edition, placing a cushion produces a detectable vibration, but breaking a cushion does not.[1]
