Correct. If you want a warm floor, heat the room below it. Heat rises.
Don't close basement vents, unless there's a far away run that's not getting any, with the thinking you're heating the living areas more efficiently.
Warm floors make rooms feel warmer, and keeps the difference between the low lying temp and the ceiling level temp tighter.
Generally, due to gravity, and not standing our entire lives, we live in the 0 to 4' volume of the room.
