lap of luxury
Life of ease
The lap of luxury describes conditions of extreme comfort and wealth.
To live in the lap of luxury is to enjoy the finest things money can buy—elegant surroundings, abundant pleasures, freedom from material worry.
The phrase evokes being cradled or held, as if luxury itself were nurturing you: After years of struggle, she found herself in the lap of luxury.
