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 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.

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

This is not a summer comforter. I would agree with Kathleen Diehl & Patricia Fairchild, it's a spring, fall, winter (depending where you live) medium weight comforter. Thought for you, have you thought of just buying a light weight blanket and a pretty sheet to put on top for something lightweight? You might also try doing a Amazon search for "quilted bedspread" or for "bedspread coverlet". Coverlet being the key word. Or do a search for "Matelasse coverlet". Also if you do a search for "quilts", you will find most of them are lightweight. Comforters tend to be heavier and made more for cold weather months and something to snuggle in to keep warm.

Hi Tania I may not be the best person to answer this since I am extremely hot natured; but it seems to be a good weight for warmth for a Southern climate; maybe not so much up North. Hope that helps. Valerie

Yes it is very light. I've use mine at least a few hours every week. No problems.

It is definitely summer weight. It is fine if you use it with another blanket in the cold weather.

It is very light weight but I don't think a normal wind would blow it away especially if you have water in it.

Not sure what you mean. For actual weight you should be able to look at the spec's. If you mean is it light enough for summer use, the answer is yes, unless your bedroom is warm and then it's up to the individual. My husband and I are using it every night and it is fine for us, but it's not that hot here yet. Hope that answers part of your question.

Depends on where you spend your summers. It's perfect for the desert, terrible for humid conditions. I would say if you expect the temperature to be around 60 or below it would be light enough.

It's very light in weight, however, I think it must be made out of plastic filler, because it was very hot. I only use it in winter now- didn't like waking up sweaty!

I would say it's light weight, but still warm. It hasn't been above 30 degrees for a while, teens at night and I'm warm

I don't know it's weight but it's not really heavy. Our grand kids use it without any problems. If you are going to row all day long then a More expensive lighter one might be best.

It's not heavy, but it is dense. I think it depends on your indoor temp. If you keep your thermostat as high as 70, IMO it would be too hot. We've had a COLD winter (Chicago), and it's been great, but I expect to put it away for summer. I don't have it in a cover, just under one. Sorry.

I thought temp to be approx. 220 degrees. I remember it being the highest temp of similar machines at the time I purchased. It is very light, maybe 2 pounds when full of water.

Is it possible to have a light weight sleeping bag for summer? That was my solution. I LOVE this bag!

I would worry about the light weight of this fan. It would tend to blow over if you had any wind at all. I would go for a heavier weight more stable fan,

It weighs a couple of pounds. I was never bothered by its weight. It's performance. What I was concerned with was it 's performance which I like.You can easily pick it up when it's cool and the heat is off.
