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.

Yes, fits perfectly into my Land of Nod twin duvet. It's definitely heavy weight. I love it because it stays on my 4 year old all night! I would only use it for winter time - we don't use our heater at night - we are in California but it gets down to 58 in our house sometimes. This is perfect for us for the winter!

The comforter is a thick summer comforter. However there are many different blankets. A blanket is subjective. You may be able to use it in the winter in some states but if you live in cold weather ie below 50 degrees than I say it's not a winter blanket. So I can't answer your question so easily. Some blankets are very thick and are rated for the cold winter some people tolerate cold and or heat at various levels. My suggestion is to purchase one and return it if it doesn't work out for you. I hope this helps but there are too many variables to your question.

The instructions state that you can leave it on all year long. Don't see why you can't leave it on. Purchase this just prior to winter, so i haven't had it that long.

On the colder night I occassionally use another blanket. I would consider this fairly thin, probably closer to your summer quilt, not a heavy winter quilt

It has just started to get cold where I am and it is a lighter comforter. We will need an extra blanket for winter. Just an FYI

I plan to use ours in the summer, with onesies underneath. :) I wouldn't consider it too thick.

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.

It is pretty thick, but truth be told, if you are in AZ type sun, prob not that great. I live in WA state and it has gone through one summer and one winter and it is as good as the day I put it it up.

It is really lightweight. I have never owned a quilt until this one and wasn't sure on how thick it should be. It is normal thickness for a quilt, however, it provides wonderful warmth in the winter with a sheet and soft blanket underneath. In the summer with a sheet it seems to keep us cool. Hope this helps and is not to much information! It is a beautiful quilt.

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 have to be honest, I use this comforter year round. We have central air and I like it to be chilly in the room & then cover up with more than a sheet or light blanket. Its not a heavy comforter like some are, you're laying there & the weight pushes your feet down to one side or the other. But again, I keep the room nice & cool year round, so I don't switch out to a bedspread in summer. Only if opening the windows do I kick off the bedspread lol.

We use it inside a duvet cover, it is about 1 1/2" thick. That is not what most people call fluffy. It is not fluffy like a down comforter. We sleep with our room at 65 deg max and usually a lot cooler, and sometimes this comforter is too warm. My wife who is gets cold easily loves this comforter. Warms and weight is what you should be concerned with. If you want fluffy then spend the money on a down comforter.

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.

It is of average thickness for a sleeping bag. I've only used it on a cot and it's a great, roomy bag that kept me warm even on a couple of 40 degree nights in the Adirondacks. Remember though, even the thickest bag would compress under your weight if you're on something "hard". If you want comfort put it on a cot, or put an air mattress or a good quality pad between the bag and the hard surface.

Rich it's much too thick for warm weather. If you want one for warmer weather I would get the thinnest you can get

It's pretty warm although we use it with another thin blanket. Kept us warm here in Virginia during the polar vortex ;)
