cushiness

State of ease

Cushiness is the quality of being cushy—comfortable, easy, or requiring little effort.

It describes situations, jobs, or arrangements that offer maximum comfort with minimum hardship: The cushiness of his government post made him reluctant to seek promotion.

The word carries a slight suggestion that such ease may be unearned or enviable.
