The word 'nap' has its roots in the Middle English word 'nappe,' derived from the Old French 'nape,' meaning cloth or covering.

The comparative form suggests an enhanced level of comfort or softness compared to a standard reference, making its usage particularly popular in the context of home furnishings and clothing.
