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.

this comforter is not very thick. it is sufficiently warm. it does not crinkle when moved. The Company Store on line- find the warmest rated one- it will crinkle when you move it. but expensive. good luck

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

I find it too hot for Summer but the rest of the year it's delicious. Not as physically heavy as some comforters but a great stand-alone for cooler weather. In the coldest of winter I use the comforter with two thin blankets underneath and it's quite toasty.

I ordered the medium weight one and although I don't think it feels too heavy, I wish I had ordered the light weight version because I am usually too warm under this comforter. I would not call it year round. Go for the light weight. I love everything else about it!

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

To me, this comforter is thick for a child/teen. Honestly I believe it's very warm, it was negative 20 windchill out this winter and my daughter had no issues keeping warm.

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.

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.

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 looks nice but the comforter is really thin. Not good for winter if you want to stay warm.

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!

4" inches thick. It is warm but I do wish it was a little thicker to give it that B&B; fealing. But then you get what you pay for. I still l ike it.

It's probably medium thickness. The heat that comes through it is great. Can't get my animals off it in the winter

I bought this 2 years ago and found it to be well constructed and attractive, though I always kept is in a duvet cover. The corners have the strap for ties, which I also love to help keep the cover in place. Alas, it is just too warm for us. We live in Maryland and keep our furnace at 66 degrees at night, but would still wake up too warm so I gave it to a friend. But the weight is fabulous- light weight, warm, well made. I would love to find another just like it that is not quite as warm. I started a few years ago with down- too warm- hoped this light weight alternative would work, but did not.

Teri: Since I gave the blanket as a gift to my son and daughter-in-law when they got married, I cannot check its thickness. However, the blanket is definitely heavy, which is both a plus and a negative for those who don't want something heavy on top of them while they sleep. If I had to guess, I would say that the blanket is about 3/8" thick, and it is very warm and durable, without frizzy particles filling the air around it. I got it for them as it will be very warm when they want it, and will last them the rest of their lives. Not relative to your question, but still potentially important, is that the blanket cost a couple of hundred dollars less from Amazon than it did from the Hudson Bay Blanket people. I don't know of any other source for wool blankets of this calibre, and wish I had one myself. Hope this helps. B.

It's pretty heavy and plush. I'm in Michigan and it's already been a little on the warm side at night with this comforter. It is a gorgeous set, especially for the price though, so I recommend it with the knowledge that it will keep you warm : )
