I believe it is a box that one keeps facial tissue (also known in the US by
a brand name, "kleenex") in.  The author mentions that it is full of
cushions.  That would make me think he was referencing the softness of the
inside of a box full of facial tissue... very soft and cushioned on the
inside.
