Why is it feminine?

Almohadas is feminine because it derives from Arabic "al-muhaddah" (the cushion). In Arabic, "muhaddah" is feminine, and when this word entered Spanish during the medieval period through contact with Arabic-speaking regions, it retained its feminine gender. The -a ending in Spanish typically signals feminine nouns, which reinforced the feminine gender from the source language.
