comforts
Eases or amenities
Comforts are things that provide physical ease or emotional solace.
The word often appears with modifiers: creature comforts are material pleasures like good food and soft beds; cold comfort is consolation that fails to console.
Home comforts are the familiar amenities of domestic life.
To take comfort in something is to find reassurance there: She took comfort in the routine.
