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.

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's very light in weight, however, I think it must be made out of plastic filler, because it was very hot. I only use it in winter now- didn't like waking up sweaty!

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 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.

I would consider this being a medium weight. It's not super heavy but it's lightweight either.

It's heavy. The temperatures don't seem to affect the mattress so far. I live in the deep South and it's getting warm but the mattress doesn't seem to be hotter. This is my first hot season with it, tho

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.

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.

It's not heavy, but it is dense. I think it depends on your indoor temp. If you keep your thermostat as high as 70, IMO it would be too hot. We've had a COLD winter (Chicago), and it's been great, but I expect to put it away for summer. I don't have it in a cover, just under one. Sorry.

I don't know how much it weights but it's lightweight, perfect for our Arizona Summers

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.

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

Not overly heavy, but it is a lot of material that will keep you very warm. I personally love mine.

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

I thought temp to be approx. 220 degrees. I remember it being the highest temp of similar machines at the time I purchased. It is very light, maybe 2 pounds when full of water.
