Is this heavy or light weight? I've seen some matelasse that is uncomfortably heavy. Would it be cool enough to use in the summer?

I would say that this matelassé is a medium weight. If I chose to use it on a bed for the summer, I wouldn't hesitate. In my opinion, this is very good quality matelassé. I'm in the deep south, and I already use matelassé coverlets on all of my beds, year 'round. This particular coverlet (I'm using it as a summer throw) is better quality than the others I own.

I love this! I used it in late Spring with a light weight down blanket; now it's perfect with just a sheet! Not too heavy at all for this time if year!

it s a great summer weight blanket -- I just bought a sencond one -- it is very well made and laundries well.

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 use it primarily at the beach, so there is usually a breeze. I can see where you would be concerned about the dark color. When I hang beach towels and shirts on the frame (I use small plastic clothes pins just the right size for the frame), the extra layer helps keep it cool. Hope that helps.

We gave it as a gift in the summer. I don't remembering it being very heavy. The shipping weight states 12 oz.

I'd say it's lightweight. A summer quilt. Looking at it right now on my bed. It's perfect for the summers in the Northwest.

Not overly heavy, but it is a lot of material that will keep you very warm. I personally love mine.

It is light, more than a few pounds but still light. I bought this machine last summer and ended up taking the engine off of it and attaching it to a different body because it does not have height adjustment, which we need for our yard.

I bought this during the summer. It is awesome. Built well and easy to move around. Not too heavy when it is inflated. It can be used indoors but the blower is loud. Careful of the height. Enjoy!

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.

THis is VERY lightweight. Perfect for me for summer, but now that's it's fall up here in northern Ontario, I am getting ready to switch to a winter one.

Kit, the vest is moderately light weight. It is not heavy, but, I would certainly not consider this weight super light weight. I live in Tucson and do not find it hot. As for quick dry, I would say no. It is not quick dry material, it is more of a cotton blend. I use my vest for birding to hold my extra camera lenses, field guides and snacks. I love it, it does get too hot in the warmth of the desert days and is warm layer on chilly winter mornings in Arizona. Good luck!

It is not extremely heavy or too light. However, it is heavy enough to fill with water and not be blown over if you sit it outside to make sun tea.

It is relatively light in weight. It is not heavy by any means. It starts to get heavy when you add the warmer water and then of course the soup. It works so well!

It's not really heavy, but the nylon liner may act like a sail in heavy winds. Haven't had any issues with wind personally.

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.

It is not heavy at all. I am using mine to do the same for the summer months, and so far am pleased with the weight and durability

Yes it is so light! If you take it outside and there is a breeze make sure you have something to hold it down on the inside like a cooler.
