Will I be too hot?? I am 54 and suffer at night if I have too heavy of a blanket on or sometimes if the blanket/comforter does not breathe.

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 does get very warm. My boyfriend is unable to sleep with this blanket on the bed, he ends up sleeping on top of it.

I think it's very hot myself. I live in Florida (but use the AC) and don't sweat with a quilt, but sweat a lot with this comforter.

It definitely breathes. It keeps you warm but is light enough you don't feel like you're smothering.

Karen, the blanket is light but definitely warm especially after you put on the duvet cover. There are lighter weight down alternative blankets you may want to try. Hope this helps.

I think it is great. On the colder nights I have not added any other blankets. It also does not feel heavy like other comforters.

Too hot for me. I woke up in the middle of the night sweating. Had to take it off the bed!

It says not to do that in the manual... but I do. Have had mine for several years and so far no problem. Just have to adjust the temp setting down a bit so as not to burn yourself. I never expect more then several years out of a blanket because of how hard I use it.

Hello,I purchased this style sleep sack because our granddaughter was beginning to walk. At night, I put socks on her feet. She did not seem uncomfortable,nor did she seem overly hot.Hope this helps.

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.

No and I'm 210#. We have an old regular mattress topper we haven't replaced yet and it seems to be warmer than the lucid.

I live in TExas; we have air conditioning and have no problem with this getting too hot; but I should think it would depend on where you live, how hot it gets, etc., but I think it should be at least as comfortable as down, not as itchy as down can be, and no feathers popping out which sometimes happens with down. If your SHEETS are cool fabric, the bed should be comfortable.

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! ;-) 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 get really hot when I sleep too and I sweat under this comfort but not as bad as I did when we had a heavier one. Hope this helps.

I use a comforter over mine, but I sometimes find it increases the heat too much. Not a problem, just an observation.

I have one and my husband and I love this!! I don't feel that it really retains body heat I have one and still use a heating blanket at night. I would definitely recommend this

You probably can, that's a good idea! My duvet is also really warm so that is probably what I will do.

That depends on your level of comfort. It works for me because I get hot at night but if you are always cold it will probably not be warm enough.

Well I live in Seattle, so the temp hasn't gotten too high here- 60s- but we haven't had any problems with overheating. I probably wouldn't use it during the summertime unless you have air conditioning going- I keep their rooms between 68-70 and they're fine. I just put him in light cotton pjs-(carters 2piece pjs) and socks. I have noticed that the polyester type 2piece pjs seem to keep him on the warmer side, so intend not to put socks with those or only use those on colder nights. As it gets warmer I'll use it with just at shirt or onesie underneath. But once summer hits, I either switch to the thin cotton sleep sack or just put them to bed in their pjs. So it probably depends how hot it is where you live and how warm you keep your house but my son doesn't get overheated if his room is kept between that 65-70 mark. Hope that's helpful :)

I got too warm! Very comfy and no aches this morning, but took awhile to adjust to the feel. I had to keep my feet uncovered part of the night and felt too warm if in one position too long. It was 47* outside last night and I had windows open. I'll keep trying...

It is perfect for me, because I like the how light it is, but yet it keeps me nice and warm. My old down alternative comforter was very heavy and I bought it in the dead of winter a few years ago, thinking I needed it. And it was a bit too warm even for me , and I do run cold and have cold feet. This one is just perfect for me and I am thinking of purchasing one for my son too. He gets too hot even in winter from his down alternative comforter. Hope this was helpful AVIVA K. And good luck to you.

I put heavy blankets down for more comfort. If I used it as a bed more, I would get a memory foam in twin for it.
