snugness

Cozy, close fit

Snugness is the quality of being snug—comfortably tight, warm, or secure.

It can describe the fit of clothing that hugs the body without pinching, the coziness of a small space, or the reassuring tightness of a lid on a jar.

The snugness of the cabin made the winter storm outside feel distant.

The word carries connotations of comfort and protection rather than constriction.
