Sorry this is backwards isn't it? In air temperature of lets say 60*F the conduction would be away from your body into the air, wouldn't you want to reduce the conduction? I can say that we used to humidify our winter air throughout the house but it made it feel so much colder. Now we humidify our sleeping air only.

It depends, with super (I mean very, very dry air) you can have pockets of warmth just around the heat source. But add a little moisture and the whole room feels warm.

In my experience 60 is cold no matter what. But feeling cold at 70 degrees stinks.

In England or Ireland? Ya, damp all the time all winter. It just depends on the environment. (don't want anymore moisture in the air)
