Comfort
- REDIRECT
Comfort (or
comfortability, or being
comfortable) is a sense of physical or psychological
ease, often characterized as a lack of
hardship. Persons who are lacking in comfort are
uncomfortable, or experiencing
discomfort. A degree of psychological comfort can be achieved by recreating experiences that are associated with pleasant
memories, such as engaging in familiar activities, maintaining the presence of
familiar objects, and consumption of
comfort foods. Comfort is a particular concern in
health care, as providing comfort to the sick and injured is one goal of healthcare, and can facilitate recovery. Persons who are surrounded with things that provide psychological comfort may be described as being "in their
comfort zone".
