'Komfort' (comfort) refers to physical comfort and amenities, as in a hotel or car. It is not a synonym for emotional comfort, as the English word 'comfort' often is. For emotional comfort, German uses 'der Trost' (consolation/comfort) or the verb 'trösten' (to comfort).

The word 'Komfort' (comfort) is used almost exclusively in the singular. It describes a general concept of convenience, not countable individual items.

Common verbs used with 'Komfort' (comfort) are 'bieten' (to offer), 'genießen' (to enjoy), or 'haben' (to have). It is also often combined with adjectives like 'hoch' (high), 'groß' (great), or 'maximal' (maximum).

furnishings / institution / setup
'Einrichtung' and 'Komfort' can both have to do with a pleasant apartment, hotel, or room. 'Einrichtung' means the concrete things in the room, such as furniture, lamps, rugs, and similar objects. 'Komfort' means the convenience and pleasant feeling that can come from good facilities or equipment. The words can be confused because good furnishings often bring more comfort. Still, the focus is different: 'Einrichtung' is more about 'What is in the room?', while 'Komfort' is more about 'How comfortable and pleasant is it?'
