Here cómoda refers to estoy, so it's a woman talking: I (f) feel more comfortable.

Hi, like Fabrice explained, in the first sentence "cómoda" is not referring to the seat, but to the speaker's feeling or state: "estar cómodo/cómoda = to feel comfortable". So it's like "cansado/cansada", you need to change the ending depending on who you're referring to.

Thank you. So it's the cómodo/cómoda that tells us the gender of the speaker, correct? Otherwise we would have no way of knowing (other than from the context of the situation which we don't have), because estoy and yo could be either a man or a woman.

Yes, "yo estoy" could refer to a man or a woman, so the use of the feminine form "cómoda" is what is telling you that the speaker is a woman.
