One sits uncomfortably on a too comfortable cushion.
What's comfortable to me is familiarity. Comfort has nothing to do with the size of the garment. I do find something quite comfortable and charming in a too-narrow shoulder, a sleeve that's too short or too long, a pant that's too high or too low, hems that are trod on.
Eliminating or substantially lowering just one major monthly expense can give you enough cushion to move into a more comfortable place financially.
Sometimes I sits and thinks. Other times I sits and drinks, but mostly I just sits.
Seattle was good for me. I was very comfortable there - not comfortable in terms of it was too easy, but I was at home, I was with my family and friends. It was a great life. I was home.

I've always been comfortable in my own skin - sometimes a little too comfortable, which in turn makes other people uncomfortable.
I live a perfectly happy and comfortable life in Blair's Britain, but I can't work up much affection for the culture we've created for ourselves: it's too cynical, too knowing, too ironic, too empty of real value and meaning.
I'm not comfortable being around too many people. I don't like being out in public too much. I don't like going to bars. I don't like doing celebrity stuff. So most of the characters I play are people who don't always feel comfortable beyond their small circle of friends.
You have to be really comfortable with yourself because people are going to tell you that you're eyes are too brown or you're this or you're that. And if you're not comfortable with yourself, you could get pretty freaked out.
I want my funeral to be uncomfortably quiet.
The slime that accumulates on the underside of a soap bar when it sits in the dish too long.
