Oh wow I have this exact problem. I did spray foam and insulated as much as I possibly could. Frankly, I didn't feel much difference. The best thing i've done is I bought a thick curtain and hung it in the entry to try and isolate the cold to the sunroom.

Keeping an eye on this thread for any solutions too!

Same issue here. I have newer construction so I don’t think adding more insulation will help. My issue is mainly the newer contractor grade cheap-o windows and patio door that leaks massive air. I’m thinking about adding a curtain to prevent the cold air from entering into the main room and just leave the sunroom cold as it is. I’ve already added a curtain to the patio door and cellular shades on all of the windows. I bought a thermal imaging gun and it’s cold from the floor to the ceiling since this is a raised sunroom. I think the only thing that can help keep the heat in is bubble wrapping the entire sunroom from the outside lol. Plastic wrapping the windows help a bit but it takes too long to do per window. I’m thinking about getting those snug removable plastic window panel inserts that I can re-use.

Ours is just a deck someone enclosed and enclosed very poorly. Cheap huge windows and and cheap flooring. So essentially an icebox in the winter. I plastic wrapped the windows last year and it was such a pain in the ass -- i never plan to do that again.
