Best answer

Marble tiles feel colder than a carpet though both of them are at the same temperature because the marble is really good at conducting heat away from your hand but because the carpet isn't as dense and has lots of air between the fibres it is not a very good heat conductor. Because the marble is a good heat conductor it cools down your feet quickly and so they feel colder but the carpet cannot cool down your feet.
