The term I'm familiar with is 'Comfort Zone'.
This refers to being somewhere where you feel 'safe', not challenged or threatened. For example, in a classroom you are in your comfort zone if you know the answers, your teacher is not putting any pressure on you to answer in front of everyone else or making you think deeply about the subject if you are not so knowledgable about the subject.
Think of an awkward situation, perhaps a new class where you've not met your peers, the teacher devises an icebreaker where you have to give a two minute account of your life. Whilst some people enjoy telling everyone about themselves some find this a terrifying experience. Which learner would you say is in the comfort zone? Or, you've prepared an excellent piece of work to read and discuss in class, it's a subject you love and are knowledgable about, another learner has difficulty getting their thoughts to paper and finds their reading embarassing - even their own work. Which one of you is in the comfort zone?
Hope this helps.

I'd say it's a bathroom - toilet, sinks, maybe a chair or a couch, etc.
