How heavy on the body does this feel? I am so sick of heavy weight comforters. I want a year round comforter. Is this year around?

Great question. This is a mid-weight down comforter and most definately could be used year round. I sleep like a baby and don't feel weighed down because it is light and fluffy. Hope this helps.

I ordered the medium weight one and although I don't think it feels too heavy, I wish I had ordered the light weight version because I am usually too warm under this comforter. I would not call it year round. Go for the light weight. I love everything else about it!

It is very lightweight and lofty. But we also had to retire it because it is too warm. We purchased a cooler down comforter at Ikea instead. Recently we used this one for camping in 30 degree weather and it was perfect! This will give you an idea of how toasty it is.

Great comforter, but for me it's too warm. The weight is fine, just too warm. My wife and I like it pretty cold. Hope this helps.

At first it seemed a little heavy, probably my last one was not as heavily filled. Now I'm used to it and really like it!

Physical weight-wise it's no that heavy, but in terms of warmth it was far too warm for me. Granted I'm a hot sleeper, but even in a NYC winter I was waking up due to heat. I actually returned it for this reason.

It is very thick and fluffy, but it doesn't feel heavy. It is sooo... soft, warm and comfortable. This is my favorite comforter I have ever had. I use it alone, without a duvet. It is good quality material and craftsmanship. You will have to wash it in an oversized washer, cause it swells up bigger when wet.

I'm sorry I do not know official weight of comforter. It is heavier not lighter. Very nice especially if it is cold where you are. I live in Texas so will need to purchase another lighter comforter for summers. You will feel the weight of this on you.

Not a heavy comforter. It keeps you warm in winter. I had it on all summer....A Very nice comforter.

That is fairly subjective but I'll try. I like sleeping in cool rooms so I like a bulky, thick comforter ("duvet") and I consider this one light weight although it is very comfortable for me. It does not feel heavy on my body at all.

I don't know the weight, but my husband thought it should be "heavier", if that helps. It's your basic quilt weight feel. Sorry I don't know the exact weight. I had a King, so heavier than a Queen if holding, but obviously spread on a bed it would have the same weight "feel" as a queen or twin. I think as a winter quilt, it should have a thinner middle blanket. It's definitely not a stand-alone super warm covering like a down comforter would be.

By itself, it feel light, but warm. But if you put duvet cover over it, it is *very* warm... too warm for summer, certainly.

Hi David,You can buy a comforter on Amazon if you'd like. I bought the Chezmoi Collection White Goose Down Alternative Comforter. It's been great for me! I'd recommend that one as a great quality, low cost comforter. Happy shopping!Best,Savana

Ah, I see you look at similar things as I do before you purchase, good for you. Check it out first. Yes, this comforter is definitely thick enough to warm in winter, and yet a cool enough fabric to leave on the bed all year. I had it on mine all spring & summer, and it was quite comfortable.

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.

Yes, it would be fine as-is. For winter and fall we have a duvet insert. And those inserts can be as heavy or light as you want. There are a lot to choose from. I love this bedding set - it's gorgeous and cozy...especially when the insert is in it. I've had my set since Jan 2012 and washed it plenty of times with no issues.

I don't know but it does not seem nearly as heavy. My only issue with the comforter is that it is very warm and I endup perspiring everynight. I live in Northeast and my heat is set at 60 degrees durning the night.

The comforter is actually pretty much like the picture. It is kinda fluffy which is nice as my husband and I don't like that heavy feeling on us when we sleep. We live in the mountains and the comforter is more than warm enough. Very happy with it!

I am afraid I cannot answer that. I can tell you my husband feels the comforter is too warm where as I feel it is just right.

I bought this for use on our guest bed. My daughter has commented that she likes it so much she is going to buy the same comforter for herself. It is a substantial weight.....not as light as the one we use, but not too heavy for my personal preference. Hopes this helps.

It is heavy enough. It is ultra warm class and heavier than ordinary down comforters.

I have not washed yet, but we do fluff it on the bed regularly. Feels very silky, not like the typical down comforter and we love it. I don't think I will ever buy down again. We like the light and silky feel of this under our linen duvet.
