is this warm? Cannnot seem to find a comforter that does not make me sweat? Does it breath as well as a cotton filled comforter? It seems kinda heavy weight 9 lbs in shipping.

It is warm, but in between cotton and down. It breathes quite well, which is why it regulates temperature so well. They are thin, but heavy in weight. I like something a little heavier laying on me, so I know it's there, but I also don't like to be hot. I've had three of these over the last 20 years - they are great.

It's nice, won't be needing it in the warm weather tho. It's more comfortable, lighter than our old down comforter.

I don't like a heavy comforter or blanket over my feet, but this is very light weight. I live in NC and it is warm enough without making you sweat (which was my concern with a down comforter). I have been very happy with this purchase.

We have used this type of comforter for years and find that it is excellent. It is lightweight, yet warm. We use one at home and in our RV.

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 wouldn't say that this topper makes your sleep cooler, but it doesn't insulate you like other toppers might. In the summer, with a heavy comforter you might sweat, but sleeping with a regular blanket should be fine. I must mention that this topper is extremely comfortable.

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 bought this for use on our guest bed. My daughter has commented that she likes it so much she is going to buy the same comforter for herself. It is a substantial weight.....not as light as the one we use, but not too heavy for my personal preference. Hopes this helps.

I've only had the mattress in the fall/winter and I use a down comforter and have never been too hot. It's a comfortable mattress and in my opinion, a great bargain.

That is specifically what I bought it for and secondly, because I hated all the little feathers all over the place (and probably in my lungs) from the down comforter.Buy the summer weight and don't use a coverlet on it. (You can wash these even tho it says dry clean. I've washed mine about a dozen times.)I think you will like the weight and the fact that it keeps you cool. I use it in conjunction with Hot Flash Rescue by Peaceful Mountain. You spray it on your chest and back of your neck. I don't wake up nearly as much as I used to. Hope this helped. (BTW: your doctor can prescribe a completely safe bio-identical cream that does not have estrogen to help you) That is specifically what I bought it for and secondly, because I hated all the little feathers all over the place (and probably in my lungs) from the down comforter.Buy the summer weight and don't use a coverlet on it.

Definitely more of a winter/heavy comforter. I just changed mine out for a lighter one for the summer.

I know it definitely not polyester. Down comforters always have the same material, I believe it is a very heavy cotton. If this is your first down comforter, it is warm but not too warm and keeps you warm all night no matter how cold the room is. I used an electric blanket in Boston until I discovered the down comforter. I love it! Whatever you do, do not machine wash & dry, it needs dry cleaning.

Not a heavy comforter. It keeps you warm in winter. I had it on all summer....A Very nice comforter.

This would be great... but you definitely need a duvet cover. This isn't actually covered with cotton, it's more of an insert (like you'd find in a throw pillow). But with my duvet cover, this is the perfect weight and it's not super puffy at all, but still has a nice weight and loft to it (not totally flat). I like to be cooler at night, and I live in southern Louisiana -- and this isn't too hot for me.

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.

If you dont put a cover on it..you might sweat because the comforter is micro fiber and not cotton or a cotton blend. Suggest that you buy a lightweight duvet cover made out of cotton or cotton blend. Other than that it is very lightweight.

The manufacturer just released a lighter-weight version, where the inner and outer layers are both cotton. I now have my son sleeping in that one, and he is able to maintain a comfy temperature. (If you go to Facebook and like their page, you can get 15% off your order! and if you buy 2, you get another 15% off). I haven't seen the lightweight one on amazon yet. I do still make sure to keep baby's room around 70 degrees at night though.

The comforter is not heavy at all. It has an airy feel to it but still heavy enough to work through the winter

As blankets go, it's definitely the heaviest I've experienced. Way heavier than a down comforter or any kind of comforter. However I love the weight. It feels great and the size of it... texture... look... best online purchase I've made! But yes, it is quite heavy.

This comforter was a gift to my son and his wife. We live in Louisiana and I've been told that this item is very comfortable...soft...warm, but not too hot for our warm summers and mild winters. They love it...Hope this helps!
