How heavy on the body does this feel? I am so sick of heavy weight comforters. I want a year round comforter. Is this year around?

Great question. This is a mid-weight down comforter and most definately could be used year round. I sleep like a baby and don't feel weighed down because it is light and fluffy. Hope this helps.

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!

It is very lightweight and lofty. But we also had to retire it because it is too warm. We purchased a cooler down comforter at Ikea instead. Recently we used this one for camping in 30 degree weather and it was perfect! This will give you an idea of how toasty it is.

Great comforter, but for me it's too warm. The weight is fine, just too warm. My wife and I like it pretty cold. Hope this helps.

At first it seemed a little heavy, probably my last one was not as heavily filled. Now I'm used to it and really like it!

Physical weight-wise it's no that heavy, but in terms of warmth it was far too warm for me. Granted I'm a hot sleeper, but even in a NYC winter I was waking up due to heat. I actually returned it for this reason.

It is very thick and fluffy, but it doesn't feel heavy. It is sooo... soft, warm and comfortable. This is my favorite comforter I have ever had. I use it alone, without a duvet. It is good quality material and craftsmanship. You will have to wash it in an oversized washer, cause it swells up bigger when wet.

I bought the down comforter, for my Son, and had it shipped directly to him. I did not see it, but cannot believe it would weigh 45 pounds.

I like this bed. After a year I have had no problems. But I have a foam mattress and am considering a getting a new mattress which may be heavier. I'd like to know if anyone has had problem with a heavier mattress.

Hello, The comforter looks great, but is not warm enough myself it for winter. You will need a blanket. Hope that helps.

I did not weight it when it came through my door! Never even thought of it! As far as dimensions goes you can look up the actual comforter online and get the dimensions. All I can inform you of is that it fit my oversized California King Mattress just fine and it was not heavy (at least those are my "personal' thoughts and experience on the matter at hand. Good Luck!

When I wear it for an extended period of time in the house I tend to feel overly warm. It's a lot of fabric. I would compare it to wearing a light sweater. I'm in the Midwest and haven't had the opportunity to use it outside yet.

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 weighs very little. Not as heavy as a traditional blanket or comforter. It is just two thin sheets of the print you see with a liner inside of nylon. No weight or substance. It also does not keep you warm by any means. It is pretty That's All... the inside liner likes to bunch up as it is only held on by each corner ONLY.

Yes, it would be fine as-is. For winter and fall we have a duvet insert. And those inserts can be as heavy or light as you want. There are a lot to choose from. I love this bedding set - it's gorgeous and cozy...especially when the insert is in it. I've had my set since Jan 2012 and washed it plenty of times with no issues.

Sorry, I didn't understand your question. Well, to me, it felt great, I got the warmth without the heavy weight that some comforters have. Being of a certain age, I don't need to be sweating more than I have too. It was all I needed on a cold night, and was able to sleep comfortably. I don't like to be too hot, and this was just enough for me to keep me warm.

I am afraid I cannot answer that. I can tell you my husband feels the comforter is too warm where as I feel it is just right.

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 don't know but it does not seem nearly as heavy. My only issue with the comforter is that it is very warm and I endup perspiring everynight. I live in Northeast and my heat is set at 60 degrees durning the night.

We live in the Northwest. We have found that the comforter is great, as long as our weather does not get too warm. When it does get warm in the summer, we find this comforter is a bit too warm. This comforter is described as "lightweight", and it is light and airy to sleep under, but it might be too warm for you. Hope this helps.

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

I'm using it now and it's very comfortable to use. It doesn't feel like a heavy wool blanket smothering the crap out of me while I sleep. It's comfy and keeps me at an ok temperature using this fall weather. It isn't light weight and has some weight to it but it's not uncomfortably bulky. It's like the perfect comforter (I feel like Goldilocks when I described this lol) I hope this helps!
