Same here. This is why a well-insulated building just 'feels' so much nicer compared to an uninsulated solid brick equivalent, even if the air inside is at the same temperature. The surfaces and objects will be warmer, less temperature differential between them and your body, less radiant heat transfer from your skin and flesh to plaster and brick.
Half of my house is still completely uninsulated, solid Victorian brick. Moving from the well-insulated and airtight new extension and loft, to the old areas, feels like a night and day difference in comfort, even though the air temperature is always the same 21-22C throughout the entire house.

This human receives radiant heat far more beneficially than ambient heat, for the same joules.
