Comfy as an insect in a carpet? (4)

I believe the answer is:
snug
'comfy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for snug that I've seen before include "Close fitting but comfortable" , "Warm and cosy" , "Small bar in pub - warm and comfortable" , "Bar parlour - comfortably placed" , "Comfortable -- small secluded room" .)
