Is this a good comforter for summer? Seems everything we purchase is too hot.

Hello K. Green- I wouldn't advise using a comforter in the summer. I can't say for sure not knowing your climate but I would think this would be a colder weather comforter. Designer Living Customer Service

I really don't know for sure we bought this a few months ago and haven't had any problems yet with it being too hot. It seems cool enough but it's still cold weather.

I would think so. It's not very thick or heavy at all. The pillows that came with it are very nice.

I think this comforter has a good weight. I've found that the material does shift a little, so in the place it shifts, its hotter because of the extra material. I don't find it too hot, but I usually get cold easily!

I would say yes, it's warmer than my plain mattress, but not excessively so. In comparison, I once had a down topper and found that it was far too hot, whereas I could use this topper year round with lighter blankets when needed. I have still found it extremely comfortable, but someone who is very warm-natured might feel differently.

I wish I could say for sure. I've heard that it does. I have the same problem you have, getting too hot at night. I had to get one of these to repay someone in the family for accidentally washing theirs'. Do your research on them, This particular one is for a bit warmer weather anyway. You probably would want one that is for summer. Maybe someone else could be of more help. I sleep with a sheet and if needed a very lightweight down throw. I'm shorter and don't need the length. Sometimes I have to place a fan at the foot of the bed even in the winter to stay cool. I will say that if someone gave me this comforter I would put a lightweight duvet on it and give it a try! Good luck and be blessed! ;-)

Yes. I totally like my comforter. It is heavy and very soft. I would say it is warm but not too hot. I am a very small female and I get cold at night, so I use it a lot. If you are warm blooded, you might find it too warm. So only you can really judge if it is too warm. But, I would give it 5 stars and would highly recommend the comforter.

I believe it will be fine during the summer nights. It isn't very heavy material. This is a very nice comfy set!

Julian, I purchased this comforter a month ago and if you are looking for something breathable this is the one to get! Not too heavy or hot at all. Very well made. You will be happy with it! Might I also suggest you look at getting bamboo sheets. After much research, we also purchased this at the same time and I could not be happier with the quality and results. The sheets feel like satin and keep us cool all night. Apparently they have a wicking property that lets heat escape. Still haven't found a pillow that actually works yet in keeping my head from getting too hot. (I've tried them all!)

I just bought this bedspread in the fall so have not been through the summer months. It's also on my guest bed so I haven't washed it. The thing I love about it is the luxurious look and the feel. It just adds such warmth to our room. It is a comforter so you may want to pull it back in the summer months. It's not super thick and I think the micro fiber is durable and I expect it to wash well.

This is a very thick comforter, it should work with winter season just like a normal down comforter. Using it in the summer time is not a good idea as I've found out.

Truthfully I wouldn't recommend it if you get hot easily. This comforter looks light but it's very heavy and very warm. It is a good comforter overall.

Have only had this comforter since Spring so not through a winter yet. That said, my husband feels that this comforter is going to work year 'round. Our other one is very lofty down and I'd always get hot in the middle of the night with it even in Winter. We live on an island in Washington State so winters are fairly mild.

This comforter is a perfect weight for cold weather (we live in Maine and keep the heat low) but would be too much for a hot night.

hi, not quite sure how to answer heavy. but it certainly is hot. i sleep with a cotton sheet and this comforter during summer and i end up kicking it off. it's plenty warm during winter as well. even then, i sleep with just a sheet and the comforter.

It is VERY warm. We will not be able to keep it on for summer - we would roast. Super warm for fall and winter though and keeps its shape nicely if you want to continue to use it as bed covering and remove it nightly.

If you dont put a cover on it..you might sweat because the comforter is micro fiber and not cotton or a cotton blend. Suggest that you buy a lightweight duvet cover made out of cotton or cotton blend. Other than that it is very lightweight.

I tend to get hot really easily and this comforter is very warm. It is quite puffy and I can't sleep under it yet. It looks really nice on the bed, but it is very warm to me.

Depending on where you live, yes it is suitable for summer. If your evenings / nights get cooler, then it will be fine. I ordered this to be a spread like shown in the photo. However, it comes nowhere close to reaching the floor. It is strictly to be used as a blanket. I loved the look and weight of it, but unfortunately I had to send it back as it was much too small for my bed.
