mild warmth


Explanation:
I think "comfort" should be understood as "warmth" here (granted it's a blanket... is it?). In this case "delicate comfort" (and why not just use that, by the way?) means that it's warm rather than brutally insulating: it warms you up delicately, without making you sweat.
