What is padded?

Padded is a term used to describe cushioning or soft material that is added to something for added comfort or protection. Padded materials are commonly used in clothing and accessories, such as sports gear, jackets, backpacks, and helmets. They are also used in furniture, particularly in chairs and seating, to provide added support and comfort. Padded materials can be made from a variety of materials, including foam, fibers, gels, and fabrics. They can be designed to absorb impact, shock, or pressure, making them ideal for use in high-impact sports or activities. Padded materials may also be used to provide insulation and temperature control, particularly in outdoor clothing and gear.
