cuddle puddle
Group snuggle pile
A cuddle puddle is a group of people lying together in relaxed physical contact—arms draped, heads on chests, legs tangled.
The term originated in rave and festival culture, where strangers would pile together after dancing, but it applies to any informal heap of affectionate humans: We ended up in a cuddle puddle on the couch watching movies.
