Very material comfort (6)
I believe the answer is:
solace
'comfort' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'very material' is the wordplay.
'very' becomes 'so' (both can mean 'extremely').
'material' becomes 'lace' (lace is a kind of material).
'so'+'lace'='SOLACE'
(Other definitions for solace that I've seen before include "Relief in affliction" , "Comfort in time of distress" , "amusement" , "Kind of comfort - a close thing" , "Consolation, comfort" .)
