Is this a warm comforter appropriate for year round?

I sent it back because it seemed like poor quality. I ended up buying a 100% real down comforter from elsewhere which I love.

It's a little warm in summer, but if you like to have it cold in your house at night its good year around.

This comforter is a perfect weight for cold weather (we live in Maine and keep the heat low) but would be too much for a hot night.

It is VERY warm. We will not be able to keep it on for summer - we would roast. Super warm for fall and winter though and keeps its shape nicely if you want to continue to use it as bed covering and remove it nightly.

Yes, I bought it for my daughter and she uses it year round. Though the colors faded on the duvet and pillow shams. Otherwise its a great duvet and if you don't tumble dry it the colors may last longer.

I'm not sure how cold Chicago winters are, but I would venture to say that "medium warmth" is probably not warm enough for winter weather there. I use the Pinzon Primaloft comforter for Southern California weather all year and it works fine for our moderate winters.

Hello K. Green-I wouldn't advise using a comforter in the summer. I can't say for sure not knowing your climate but I would think this would be a colder weather comforter.Designer Living Customer Service

I just use this as the comforter, very nice and warm in the winter. I love mine!

I think it may be too warm for you...depending upon the coolness of your bedroom. If we have the windows open on 50 degree nights, this comforter is not too warm! Hope this helps.

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.

Yes. This is very plush and warm, I would not use it in the summer time at all.

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!

I have a light weight Down comforter which I will put on my bed when the weather warms. I would say thiscomforter would be to warm when the temperature reaches the sixties.

The comforter is kind of light. If the child is dressed warm at night then it should be warm enough. It feels more like summer bedding. I added extra blankets for how cold its been this winter.

I have had the comforter for almost 1 year and I have had a few feathers come out but not enough to cause me any concern. The weight of the comforter is perfect in Texas. It is not heavy to overheat me and captures my body heat in the winter weather.

I would think so.. It was warmer than a standard grade comforter in my experience.

It doesn't make noise, super comfy and soft. I live in the Bay Area so winters aren't too bad here. So yes it can hold up to Bay Area winters, but for heavy winters where it gets REALLY cold, I would want a supplemental comforter.

We are using it this summer with just a sheet. It is on the warm side for me, but fine for my husband. It's really a nice comforter.

I bought this for a camp bed and it is satisfactory for that. I bought a 3 inch memory foam topper for it which improved the comfort. For myself, I don't think that it would be satisfactory for sleeping on every night year round. I needed a mattress that I could fold up to store, so this fit the bill. I have a friend who bought a LUCID by LinenSpa 10" Firm Memory Foam Mattress 25-Year Warranty ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00478U768/ref=twister_dp_update?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and he loves it. He says that it doesn't heat up and he has been sleeping on it for 3 years now (2 people). I didn't get this because of the storage issue and that it would spend the winter in an unheated space...hope that this helps.

Its definitely for summer. Its very light weight. In the winter you will have to switch to a heavier comforter. I have washed it twice, and its fine. I love the look of it, as well as the decorative pillows.
