But when a person lies on a cushion, the entire weight is distributed over a larger area, producing a smaller pressure. Thus, the depression in the cushion is more when a person stands than when he lies.

Answer:
When a person stands on a cushion then only his two feet (having small area) are in contact with the cushion. Due to this the weight of man falls on a small area of the cushion producing a large pressure causing a big depression in the cushion. On the other hand, when the same person lies down on the cushion, then his whole body (having large area) is in contact with the cushion. Here, his weight falls on a much larger area of the cushion producing much smaller pressure and very little depression in the cushion.
