Which material is warmer for my sofa?

Been pretty busy lately due to shortage of manpower. Thus you might realise the time lapse since my last post.
Today let’s look at 1 of the most important piece of furniture in the living room. “SOFA !!!”
I always hear people telling me ‘oh leather sofa not so warm right? The pvc sofa warmer right? ’ Well, i can only say it’s true to a certain extent. Why? Whether it’s warm or not, it’s all dependent on your environment and to me both are warm.

You might have the same experience of how come the sofa is so comfortable when i tried it in the showrooms but how come it feels so different when placed in my house? The reason is simple, when you tried it in showrooms you are in an air con environment thus most of the sofa you tried feels quite comfortable and when in your home, most probably, you do not on your air con most of the time right?
In my opinion, all sofa will be warm, its just the difference of how long does it take before you feel the heat or the sweat dripping from your back.
Assuming all condition the same, i.e same sofa, place at same place but with different material, making things easy to understand, you might start to sweat on a pvc sofa in 10 mins, a PU sofa 15mins and a leather sofa 20min and a fabric sofa 25mins. The numbers are just for illustration purpose but if i were to rank their heat dissipitating abilities i would rank them as follows, assuming we are comparing the better grade of the individual material.

1) Fabric (preferable 100% cotton)
2) Genuine leather
3) PU
4) PVC

One most important aspect to take note is that the softer the sofa, which most people consider as more comfortable, it will be warmer. Reason being that when it is softer, our body tend to sink in more at the back and the seat thus not leaving any room for your body to “breath”. That’s also why when we sit on a wooden sofa its more cooling.
Thus whether a sofa is warm or not, its not only dependent on the material of the material covering the sofa but also the material underneath. I’ll touch on this more in my next post. Hopefully i'll have time to touch on how to choose the ideal sofa for your living room.
