  • The same cozy comfort, climate-sensitive warmth or coolness is offered according to season or room temperature by the surface in touch with the consumer. 
  • Relatively lesser Kaarmic footprint vis-à-vis, compared to 100% leather, and in the absence of an equivalent alternative.

Recommendation: Consumer Discretion is advised before procurement based on the above rationale, place, and context of the consumer. Acceptable without guilt in the absence of equivalent alternatives in the given budget and logistical constraints. Parameters beyond control and within to be considered.
