Provided cushioning

Hi

Before feathers were used, soft grasses and plants provided cushioning from the rough dirt or wood floor. This practice has survived in the form of herbal pillows.

Does "provided cushioning" mean that they put those grasses and plants on the floor, or maybe they stuffed something with them?
