Is the quilt heavy? Is it also good for winter?

The quilt has a good bit of weight to it. In my case, I think part of that reason is because it hangs longer off the sides. This quilt is beautiful, I've received so many compliments. It's perfect for winter and I still have it on my bed going into summer, albeit I do have to kick it off if me and just use the sheet.

It is not heavy, it's lightweight. I did make it through a harsh winter with it just fine. I've had it for a year now and love it. The colors are beautiful. I've had a little fading with washing, but not too bad. I've had several compliments on it when friends tour the house.

It's a lightweight quilt. I use it all year round and just pair it with a couple of blankets in the winter, as I prefer layering lighter layers due to my tendency to overheat with heavyweight comforters/quilts. I also live in Central Florida and even in the middle of winter we'll have random warm days, so it's easier to remove a couple of blankets rather than swap out a heavy quilt for a light one for just a night or two. If you prefer a single heavyweight quilt in the winter, this wouldn't be a good winter choice for you. For reference, I usually keep my thermostat between 65-68 during the winter.

Yes it works well in the winter, the canopy is very sturdy and held up with the weight of snow, it didn't seem to have any problems.

Yes, it is quite heavy. In fact, a little too heavy and warm for me for most of the year. it will definitely lay around your body.

The thickness is perfect. Not too thick or too thin. Average weight for a quilt. The K size would be more than adequate for a Q bed. Would probably be more of a bedspread.

It is not as heavy as a blanket or a quilt. I would say it is more light weight. I bought it so I can use it in the summer. I live in Arizona where we are having triple digit heat and I find this matelassé the perfect weight. We have our a.c. on, of course, and a fan blowing in the room to keep the air circulating. The matelassé is quite comfy until about 5:00 a.m. when the room actually begins to feel cold. Then I pull up a light weight blanket, too. That keeps us comfortable till we get up. Hope this helps.

I have without a problem. It is very nice kind of quilted and great for late spring summer and early fall. I have put our heavy bedspread back on now.

It is about the weight of any quilt - definitely not heavier than any other quilt...and because it is not as bulky as a comforter it is easier to handle. It looks just like the picture. It is beautiful.

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.

On the colder night I occassionally use another blanket. I would consider this fairly thin, probably closer to your summer quilt, not a heavy winter quilt

100% cotton, the same as the top, but in a striped pattern (which appears in some of the blocks on the top). There is no filling. It's just two sides of cotton quilted together. It is not a heavy quilt. Now that it's cold here, we are using a down comforter on top of it. Hope this helps.

We use it year round. We have two different brand wool comforters in this house, the one you are asking about here is the least heavy.

I don't know wihat the snow weight limit is, but I plan to keep mine up over winter in southern Wisconsin. Th canopy material is strong and seems slipper enough to shed most snows. I seem to recall one of the reviewers mentioned snow and he was satisfied with it.

It is not heavy. I have been using it this summer it is more of a blanket weight. It is a soft supple quilt. I have dust mite allergies so I have to wash my quilt every week. When I dry it in the dryer it is soft. When I hang it out on the clothes line to dry it is stiff. It is machine quilted very close. If you want a soft feel the quilts are usually quilted farther apart or even just tied.

I would not recommend it for below freezing temps. it is not thick. winter I use it and a down feather comforter. summer I only use this. I also live in Texas.

I personally think this is a medium weight quilt. My husband and I both are very pleased with the construction and design.

I don't know what the weight is but I have the king size on my queen size bed and I love it...I feel that it is rather light weight - and very soft. I would definitely recommend this quilt.

It is quilted and smooth. It is not extremely heavy but keeps one warm. It washes up very nicely and good quality.
