creature comforts
Life's small luxuries
Creature comforts are the basic physical pleasures and conveniences that make life comfortable—good food, warm shelter, a soft bed.
The phrase often carries a hint of indulgence or luxury beyond bare necessity: After a week of camping, I was ready for creature comforts.
Someone who enjoys their creature comforts prefers ease and coziness over roughing it.
