Why do different things (or surfaces) in the same room feel different temperature?

Question

For example, when I walk barefoot om my room’s wooden floor, it feels colder than walking on the carpet in the same room. Or a glass feels cooler than say a piece of bread in the same environment. Why is this?

Answer 1

Once the ambient temperature in your house reaches about 37 (your body temp) then they will all feel the same. If it goes above 37 they will all feel the opposite of what they normally do, so things like metals will feel hotter than your carpet, etc.
