as snug as a bug in a rug
Utterly warm, comfortable
Comfortably settled in a warm, cozy spot.
The rhyme makes it playful, often used when tucking children into bed or describing anyone contentedly nestled somewhere: She wrapped herself in blankets, as snug as a bug in a rug.
The bug in question is presumably one that has burrowed into fabric—undisturbed and perfectly at ease.
