is this a light weight coverlet? Or more of a quilt style?

It is a lightweight coverlet, definitely not a quilt. It works great with a blanket under it for the cooler days

It's fairly light weight. The problem is it's too hot with the down comforter for us. I had to remove by the 2nd week as all the buttons broke off and we were sweatting

I'd say it's about the same as a light quilt. Not nearly as warm as a puffy comforter, but about the same as an average blanket.

It has a very subtle textured pattern of flowers/vines that from a distance, just looks like quilting. I have this in my Master Bedroom with a fur throw across the foot of the bed, silk curtains, oriental rug, and relatively modern furniture. I love the versatility of this Coverlet, but if you are going for "Hotel Elegant" you might want to consider another spread. It is not what I would consider "plush" or "posh"! Happy shopping!

This is not a summer comforter. I would agree with Kathleen Diehl & Patricia Fairchild, it's a spring, fall, winter (depending where you live) medium weight comforter. Thought for you, have you thought of just buying a light weight blanket and a pretty sheet to put on top for something lightweight? You might also try doing a Amazon search for "quilted bedspread" or for "bedspread coverlet". Coverlet being the key word. Or do a search for "Matelasse coverlet". Also if you do a search for "quilts", you will find most of them are lightweight. Comforters tend to be heavier and made more for cold weather months and something to snuggle in to keep warm.

It's very light weight and conformable. It's not hot like our down comforter. My husband has the same problem . With this and a thin sheet he's very happy .

It is a quilt, somewhat lightweight, which is what I like about it. I'm using it as a quilt decoratively at the end of the bed for the summer. A white blanket is underneath. I love the fresh bright look!

I would say it is medium weight. I don't use it as a blanket though, but as a bedspread, so whether it is cool or not, I couldn't say.It is certainly beautiful though.

It is very lightweight. The duvet cover is where the majority of the heaviness comes from. My daughter uses it during warmer months without a cover.

It is very lightweight. Without a comforter inside it weighs the same as a basic sheet.

It is really lightweight. I have never owned a quilt until this one and wasn't sure on how thick it should be. It is normal thickness for a quilt, however, it provides wonderful warmth in the winter with a sheet and soft blanket underneath. In the summer with a sheet it seems to keep us cool. Hope this helps and is not to much information! It is a beautiful quilt.

This is a comforter, it is very light and would be best for summer...no warmth value for winter :)

It is pretty thin and will probably get more supple with washings. As a new quilt it is not soft.

I would say that this matelassé is a medium weight. If I chose to use it on a bed for the summer, I wouldn't hesitate. In my opinion, this is very good quality matelassé. I'm in the deep south, and I already use matelassé coverlets on all of my beds, year 'round. This particular coverlet (I'm using it as a summer throw) is better quality than the others I own.

Hello Schoenike, I wouldn't keep this solely as a winter quilt. While it keeps me warm, it is not thick and fluffy or stuffed with anything. That being said, it is a lot heavier than I thought it would be, and it does keep me warm. Hope this helps!

Its about same weight as average coverlet. Yes, holds it's shape and doesn't wrinkle or slide around. It's very nice quality---very comparable to pottery barn. I would buy again 10 times over.

I would say this is medium weight but it isn't a soft and cushy bedspread. It serves the purpose for what I got it for which was to use underneath a quilt that wasn't a queen size and I use the quilt as my main bedspread and the other one just for edging on my bed. I probably wouldn't buy it just for a bedspread as it isn't nice and plushy.
