ふかふかのパンケーキ、おいしそう！
→ふわふわのパンケーキ、おいしそう！
Fluffy pancakes, they look delicious!

 

ふかふか refers to a soft, springy fabric, like a bed or sofa, that bounces back to its original shape when pressed. ふわふわ describes something light, soft, and airy, often giving an impression of gentle movement or quiver.

 

Examples:

ふわふわした雲(くも)が空(そら)に浮(う)いています。
Fluffy clouds are floating in the sky.

ふわふわのわたあめ。
Light and airy cotton candy.

このソファーはふかふかしています。
This sofa feels plush and comfortable.

この布団(ふとん)は今日(きょう)干(ほ)したのでふかふかです
This futon feels fresh and fluffy because I aired it out today.
