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.

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

Yes to both questions. It is very lightweight and we use it outdoors during the spring and summer

Short answer: no. Long answer, I have only had it for a few weeks or so now and Summer is just starting. While I don't think it's "heavy," it's far too warm for Summer. That being said, I've been using it half covered up/partially covered up with the windows open (no air con) and it's really comfy to roll around with, but you'll wake up sweating if you're fully covered. Hope that helps.

It is the ideal weight for us. Our apartment is heavily heated in winter and not air conditioned in the summer. We are very pleased with it year round.

It is not heavy it's actually more light to medium. It will keep you warm but not over heat you.

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.

I think it might be too light weight. It is waterproof but it isn't very heavy. It worked great for our wet purposes, but we didn't need for it to have strength to hold up under weight or pressure. Hope that helps. dhw

It is VERY heavy. My lamp spent all summer outside. Even in strong winds, it didn't move an inch.

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's very light weight. I have a lot of clothes hanging on it and it is holding up very well.

It is too heavy for my spring/summer use. We tried it, but I'm already looking for a lighter weight for summer. Hope this helps you. We do love it, very pretty. My husband loves the grey shade & the feel of this set.

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.

I think it's 100lbs. Haven't used it yet waiting on summer time field trips to try it out

It's definitely not a quilt for Summer. Thin quilt as far as appearance goes, but it's very heavy and warm. Have to fold it down to the bottom of the bed in the Summer. High quality.

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 would say it is light to medium. We live in Virginia and even in the winter I think this is going to do just fine. It's not heavy but not light either. My son is actually sleeping on top of it right now and covering up with a light blanket and it's the beginning of September. He's a really hot natured kid though. Hope this helps.
