agree  John Kinory (X): This is as much as one could do without the whole sentence (or even paragraph).

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Dana Cohen: wellbeing and revakha also refer to personal comfort and convenience encompassing a range of things like warmth and food as in "ravchat hatinok". In the absence of context, we can't tell what's appropriate

cha'im tovim / revacha


Explanation:
It really depends on the whole sentence becuase revacha is also welfare and cha'im tovim is actually "good life". Few examples:
emotional wellbeing = chayey nefesh tovim
family wellbeing = chayey mishpacha tovim
the wellbeing of X = ravchato/ravchata shel X (male/female), or ravchat haX.
I hope I didn't confuse you, please ask more if needed.
