More Cushion Uses

The cushions in Minecraft are already really neat and cozy, but it would be nice for the cushions to be more usable while still being cozy.

Pet Beds - If you tame a dog or a cat, and somehow "link" the dog or cat to the cushion, then that'll behave like the pet's bed. And if they die, they'll respawn at their cushion, unless you break the cushion. They can also sleep on the cushions at night or if they have low hp.

Restore Mechanic - If you sit on a cushion, it'll slowly restore your health, like you are resting. But, to keep it balanced and not too overpowered, it would only restore up to 5 and a half hp, or maybe sometimes a bit extra. This would keep the cushion balanced, but still being useful.

Pandas and foxes love cushions - Pandas already have silly, cozy animations, so this would fit perfectly. They can roll over cushions more frequently if there's a cushion nearby them, and they will sit on cushions to eat bamboo or relax. And for Foxes, they already have a sleeping animation, so they could run up to a cushion and take a nap on it.

Note Block / Jukebox Interactions - If you place a cushion or even any wool block, stairs or slabs, then it'll play a sound or music disc, but muffled! This would be a nice feature to add to the game and could make more of the same sounds but a little different.

I think with all of these cushion ideas, that players would use cushions more, not just for sitting, but for pets, health, and sounds.
