Can I describe a woman’s body soft as pillow?

Hi,

Does the following sentence sound natural?


I enfold you in my arms, and your body appears to be some soft pillows.


Many thanks,

K

"Appears" makes it sound like she looks like the pillows, and I think you want her to feel like them, instead. "Some" is a bit awkward. I would delete it.

You can, but to my ear it doesn't sound as complimentary as I think you want it to.
