comfy

Soft and relaxed

Comfy is informal for comfortable, almost always referring to physical ease—a comfy chair, comfy clothes, a comfy bed.

The word has a cozy, casual quality that formal *comfortable* lacks.

I'm getting comfy on the couch.

It rarely describes emotional comfort or financial security the way *comfortable* can.
