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.

All season light weight. We use it year round and don't have to change out multiple blankets to fit the temp. Love it.

It is light weight...I absolutely love mine. The colors are so beautiful and it was just what I needed. Hope this helps.

I think it is heavy, but I have a hard time describing what degree of heavy. It's crisp and holds it shape, very well made. In summer, if it is 75 degrees indoors, one sheet and this bedspread provide plenty of warmth with no blanket. Sorry, I couldn't do a better job in defining "heavy."

My wife loves it..she says light to medium weight but warm. We live in Maine and she has really enjoyed. She didn't use it in the summer as it was too warm. Hope this helps and good luck.

It's very light weight. No more than 5 lbs. Actually I think it weighs less. It's not something for the hardcore outdoor weather. I would recommend using this tripod indoors or places where wind is at a minimum.

It's not heavy at all. Should be fine for Southern California. I live in Austin, Texas and our winters are pretty mild (except for this year). This year I've actually wanted it to be a little heavier.

Yes it is so light! If you take it outside and there is a breeze make sure you have something to hold it down on the inside like a cooler.

It is a nice light weight, doesn't feel heavy, for summer may want sleeveless, but I give it a big thumbs up!

Although I installed it in the summer I don't remember it being heavy. In fact if my memory serves me I was surprised by how light it was.

Yes it is pretty heavy. The weight will keep your eyes closed. It will also keep them cool to temperatureWill also keep all light out.

I would say it is light to medium. We live in Virginia and even in the winter I think this is going to do just fine. It's not heavy but not light either. My son is actually sleeping on top of it right now and covering up with a light blanket and it's the beginning of September. He's a really hot natured kid though. Hope this helps.

Depends on where you spend your summers. It's perfect for the desert, terrible for humid conditions. I would say if you expect the temperature to be around 60 or below it would be light enough.

Is it possible to have a light weight sleeping bag for summer? That was my solution. I LOVE this bag!

Hmmm I am a big guy about 220lbs and around 6ft sooo depends, but I'd say it feels heavier than most and almost too hot for me which is good on those below 0 days... def not for the fall

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 weights around 2 punds (less than 1 kilo), its very light but you should use it in temperatures above 20 degree celcius
