the engineered illusion that softness is the same thing as worth.
means The quality of being luxuriously soft, thick, and richly comfortable to the touch — the state of feeling cushioned and indulgent.
from From "plush," a fabric name borrowed in the late 1500s from French "pluche," a contraction of "peluche" (shaggy cloth), which traces back through Old French "peluchier" (to pluck or pull at) to Latin "pilus" — a hair. So at its root, plushness is a thing made of many fibers raised and teased upward, a fabric standing on end. The "-ness" is the plain old English suffix that turns a quality into a noun, the same one that makes "softness" from "soft."
