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's about 3'x4' and weighs a lot! We used ours all summer with no problems.

Bonnie, it is lightweight. I use it every day here in Florida. I like it very much. It has a handy cloth carrying jacket with a sling that I put through my arm that weighs nothing. Also the fabric keeps the heat out, so it is nice and cool under the umbrella. I would suggest buying a metal sand anchor to go with it.

I'd say it's lightweight. A summer quilt. Looking at it right now on my bed. It's perfect for the summers in the Northwest.

It is not extremely heavy or too light. However, it is heavy enough to fill with water and not be blown over if you sit it outside to make sun tea.

Summer weight for the east coast. Put a blanket under it to use in the winter. Great quilt. We love the versatility.

I just used it (first day of summer) and felt it was perfect, but I get cold easily... Hope that helps.

The device itself is light, but the water will make it heavy, no doubt, regardless of what you use to heat it (a full tea kettle is heavy, too). This device is excellent and heats the water fast. If you have hard water just put a little bit of vinegar in it to clean it every now and then.

Its not heavy, I live in the tropics, it does not snow, but wouldnt use it for winter. Its quite lite, but very comfy.

It's fairly light weight. The problem is it's too hot with the down comforter for us. I had to remove by the 2nd week as all the buttons broke off and we were sweatting

I would say it is definitely NOT too heavy. In fact, I might be a little concerned about it being too light. I think that when we checked on the "comfort zone" of this bag, it indicated 50 to 70F. If you were to try to sleep where it got less than 50, you would have to have extra "warm-making" stuff. Our little girls (elementary aged) like to get in their bags at night and read sometimes, in our home. I don't think they'd be comfortable if the temps were less than 50 or more than 70 degrees. I hope this helps you make a decision!

I don't notice any difference to the way the garage opens. It isn't very heavy. It has made a difference to the temp in the garage, it is much warmer for my two older dogs. I'm pretty sure it will also be cooler in the summer. I'm sorry I can't answer you about weight.I'm glad I bought it.

I'm not sure how much it weighs, but it's not heavy. Of course when you fill it with water to generate the steam it becomes a little heavier, but it's fairly light as it's made mostly of plastic.

It is very light weight but I do not have a problem with it moving around. I have it sitting near my PC to help keep it cool. You might want to return yours I do not have any of those problems with mine, however keep in mind that it is mostly light weight plastic so there will be slight vibration but it should not be strong enough to make the whole unite move.

I use it primarily at the beach, so there is usually a breeze. I can see where you would be concerned about the dark color. When I hang beach towels and shirts on the frame (I use small plastic clothes pins just the right size for the frame), the extra layer helps keep it cool. Hope that helps.

it is a lite weight quilt. if you live up north, it would be perfect for summer. if you live in the south, it is perfect year round.
