How heavy is this? Is this thick enough to keep warm in winter, but not too thick to where you could leave it on all year in the warmer months too?

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.

It's not heavy at all. You can use it all year round, but in winter I double it up with flannel sheets and a light blanket for my boys. An adult could generate enough heat to stay warm. Also...you cannot dry it on high heat. It gets scrunchy.

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

Its a good comforter to keep you warm up to like 65º. If yoyr house gets rwaally cold in the winter like 60º or more i'd sugget you select a diff comforter. But i have had this comforter for 2years washed and rewashed and it still looks and feels like new.

it's a lightweight comforter, quilted, one layer, not sure the exact thickness but I did add a blanket during the winter. I like it a lot but it's not heavy, I would be cold without the layer underneath.

I bought this 2 years ago and found it to be well constructed and attractive, though I always kept is in a duvet cover. The corners have the strap for ties, which I also love to help keep the cover in place. Alas, it is just too warm for us. We live in Maryland and keep our furnace at 66 degrees at night, but would still wake up too warm so I gave it to a friend. But the weight is fabulous- light weight, warm, well made. I would love to find another just like it that is not quite as warm. I started a few years ago with down- too warm- hoped this light weight alternative would work, but did not.

Really nice -- and really 3-inches thick. It's stitched like a quilt so that it doesn't bunch. Some of my friends thought it would be hot in the summer. It wasn't. We love it!

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 wouldn't say it's heavy. It is fluffy and very padded. I agree, it is warm.

4" inches thick. It is warm but I do wish it was a little thicker to give it that B&B; fealing. But then you get what you pay for. I still l ike it.

Its not very thick at all.....less than a quarter inch. Think of it as 2 pieces of fabric quilted together. It definitely would not be used as a winter comforter. Hope that helps.....we love ours!!

It's very lite in weight and soft ,I live in ohio and the winter night's as been very cold and had to use a blanket along with it to stay warm so it should be perfect for you even though it was not the comforter I wanted they sent it by mistake,never did get the comforter I wanted

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.

this comforter is not very thick. it is sufficiently warm. it does not crinkle when moved. The Company Store on line- find the warmest rated one- it will crinkle when you move it. but expensive. good luck

Definitely more of a winter/heavy comforter. I just changed mine out for a lighter one for the summer.

Its not too thick. We do fold it over and leave it there during the warmer nights. Its perfect for the summer months, but I would not recommend it for winter use, especially if you live in the Northern States.

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.

Teri: Since I gave the blanket as a gift to my son and daughter-in-law when they got married, I cannot check its thickness. However, the blanket is definitely heavy, which is both a plus and a negative for those who don't want something heavy on top of them while they sleep. If I had to guess, I would say that the blanket is about 3/8" thick, and it is very warm and durable, without frizzy particles filling the air around it. I got it for them as it will be very warm when they want it, and will last them the rest of their lives. Not relative to your question, but still potentially important, is that the blanket cost a couple of hundred dollars less from Amazon than it did from the Hudson Bay Blanket people. I don't know of any other source for wool blankets of this calibre, and wish I had one myself. Hope this helps. B.
