Hi

Could you please tell me if this sentence is natural? Any suggestions are welcome.

Throughout the day at the hot office, she looked forward to returning to her air-conditioned comfort.



Can it be air-conditioned comforts?



Thanks,



Tom

To me, "comfort" seems better. "comfort" refers to the general comfort of being air-conditioned, while "comforts" tends to sound as if she's referring to individual comforts that she can enjoy in an air-conditioned environment, which probably isn't what's meant.
