creature comfort

Cozy physical pleasure

Creature comforts are the basic physical pleasures and conveniences that make life agreeable—food, warmth, soft bedding, climate control.

The phrase often appears when such comforts are notably present or absent: The cabin lacked creature comforts but had a stunning view.

After a week of camping, I was ready to return to creature comforts.

The creature is simply a living being with bodily needs.
