Thus find material comfort (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

solace

'comfort' is the definition.
(I know that solace is a type of comfort)

'thus find material' is the wordplay.
'thus' becomes 'so' (synonyms).
'find' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'material' becomes 'lace' (lace is a kind of material).
'so'+'lace'='SOLACE'

(Other definitions for solace that I've seen before include "Something that comforts distress" , "amusement" , "Comfort at a time of sadness" , "Kind of comfort - a close thing" , "Comport" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
