Tissues are not good insulators in terms of their ability to block heat transfer. They are thin and porous, allowing heat to easily pass through them. Materials like wool, styrofoam, or fiberglass are more effective insulators because they have low thermal conductivity and trap air pockets to inhibit heat transfer.
