The gentle art of putting something soft between you and the inevitable.
means Made comfortable or protected by a soft layer, or figuratively softened so that an impact, blow, or hardship is less severe.
from From 'cushion,' which came into English in the medieval period via Old French 'coissin' (a seat pad), tracing back to Latin 'culcita,' meaning a mattress or stuffed cushion. The '-ed' ending turns the soft object into a state of being protected by one — so to be 'cushioned' is literally to be wrapped in the descendant of a Roman mattress.
