I saw the first one written on a hoarding but I feel the second one is more acceptable. Please explain which one is correct and why.
The preposition is applying to the comfort, not to the location. So it would be:
We ordered in comfort. (correct)
We ordered at comfort.
Another example:
We sat in the light of the moon.
Here it is hopefully more clear that you're talking about sitting in the light rather than in the moon!
The first is definitely correct.
Although you are AT your home, your are IN comfort.
I've never been invited to do anything at the comfort of my home and don't expect to be.
