Zabuton - A square seating cushion that looks like a particularly thin pillow. Literally "sitting futon." In the translation, I'd first called it a zabuton cushion so you may not need this note, but it's not meant or socially fit for use as a head-resting, sleeping pillow; it's very thin and dense, and Tomiko using it as one, particularly as a woman concerned with propriety, highlights the laziness Motoko may see, or the sheer fatigue at play, or at the very least strike one as odd.
