most reviews state these are "warm" does that mean they are only a winter type sheet or would also work as a summer sheet?

They can be used in the summer if you want. Just keep in mind they keep body heat in, they are wonderful in winter.

In my opinion, I would not use these in the summer as they are more of a cold-weather sheet like flannels. You could use these without a heavy comforter or blanket in the summer, maybe!

I don't think they would work well in summer unless you keep your house pretty cold.

If you live in a humid area these may be too heavy; otherwise you could use them year-round.

I wouldn't use them in the summer unless you live where it's cold all year long.

Depends on what you plan to use them for. I have used them several times when there were frost warnings here. They have very nice drawstrings and are easy to install and remove. For my needs they are perfect. However I live in Ft Lauderdale area and MA has much colder temperatures so can't vouch for freeze conditions. JR

i hate silk, so thats why i like these blankets. i guess the best comparison might be jersey cotton like. i also hate larger comforters that are too hot. id say its ideal for temperatures between 65-80 Fahrenheit.

For the price I was pleased with the sheets. They feel thin but are soft and perfect for summer sheets. They wash and dry without wrinkling or pilling.

I would say between Medium & Warm. If you live in a cold winter region, like I do in Michigan, Use this with Flannel Sheets and you are more then good to go. Now that summer is here, we plan on changing over to Linen sheets and I don't see any problems with this in the summer. Especially if you use AC.

Yes, they are 'brushed-microfiber.' Which I was at first disappointed when I re-read the description, but when they came in and I finally got to sleep on them after the first wash they really are quite nice. They are not as crisp as cotton would be, however they are quite warm. Just not exceedingly so. You will not be sweltering hot (and I live in Florida!) all night long :) BUT if you do prefer flat and crisp cotton, I suggest making sure you read descriptions of each sheet set you look at! I copied the description specs that I looked over when I first bought my set: Queen Size 4pc Set - Flat Sheet 102"x90", Fitted Sheet 80"x60", 2 Pillowcases 20"x30" Deep Pockets - with fully elasticized fitted sheet guarantees a secure fit for mattress depths from 16" Brushed Microfiber - with cool lustrous feel and a very soft silky touch Easy Care -Wrinkle-free, Fade-resistant, Machine wash in cold and tumble dry on low.

It's thin so if you're using it on hot sand it'll be warm, but it's still a lot better than a bed sheet for beach days. It's a nice product, and is easy to clean when it's on a messy surface.

That's funny because I feel extra warm. I would just use an extra blanket and see if that helps. I also noticed that the sheet my son and daughter in law have feels different than mine so don't know if they use different fiber contents for different sheets. I always found that strange; maybe I have the "warm" sheet.

Depends on where you live and whether you have A/C. I think I would find it too warm for summer, even with A/C.... If it were me, I would get one for fall/winter use, but get an all cotton blanket for late spring/summer.

I would use a sheet and blanket also, but it depends upon how cold you get. It's a nice set - very silky.

Not to warm in summer (AC is on) and do use heat pad in winter. Think some heat is absorbed by pad thickness though. Pad makes fitted sheets very tight, worse as they shrink. My pad has been on since I got it, use once a week. No issues with it, sheds a little when new.

it all depends what you consider 'warm' ... living in the midwest and dealing with horses etc. etc. ... they hold up well down to about 10 degrees and no wind ... beyond that ... even with a silk liner glove and working ... NO ...

If you are asking if they are hot for those of us who might suffer with night sweats or an occassional personal summer, then no they are average to light in weight but they don't add to the heat within. I am usually able cover up in them when I'm over the flash of heat.

They have a microfiber feel. They are soft and very comfortable. But as far as like a thick sateen feeling, no. More of a soft microfiber feeling, which for Chicago winters is perfect! I am a sheet snob and for the price, I have no regrets.

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.

They are probably what you want then. I find to be very soft - yet not warm like flannel. That is so funny - just saw the other answer! Oh well...opinions...everyone has one! lol - But seriously, I don't find them "warm: like flannel at all. (Maybe try a few other people!)
