Direct Answer
Warmth ranking for Indian winter sofa materials: (1) Velvet — textile pile provides the warmest feel against skin; (2) Bouclé — looped texture traps air for thermal insulation; (3) Heavy cotton or linen blend — natural fibre warmth; (4) Performance polyester — moderate warmth; (5) Full-grain leather — cold to initial touch but warms to body temperature; (6) Protected leather — coldest and longest to warm. For North Indian winters (5-15 degrees C), throw blankets over any sofa provide practical warmth without material limitations.
Understanding this is critical for Indian furniture buyers. Conditions in Indian homes including seasonal humidity variation, multi-generational use, Indian cooking proximity, and the 15-20 year ownership horizon all factor into furniture decisions differently than in European or American contexts.
