It is shown that, assuming the Continuum Hypothesis, compact Hausdorff space
of weight at most $\mathfrak{c}$ is a remainder in a soft compactification of
$\mathbb{N}$. We also exhibit an example of a compact space of
weight~$\aleph_1$ --- hence a remainder in some compactification of
$\mathbb{N}$ --- for which it is consistent that is not the remainder in a soft
compactification of $\mathbb{N}$.
