"Restful" is a specific adjective corresponding to "rest", but in many contexts one of the participles "resting" or "rested" would be more idiomatic and more directly connected to the meaning of the verb. For example, an environment could be described as "restful", but a person or a working animal, particularly a horse when horses were the fastest means of transportation, would normally be described as "resting" or "rested".
