This is an extremely lightweight topper for my bed. I got the set in grey as well as in white. I use the white set on top of my comforter, and it does not weigh down the comforter. The grey one is placed at t he foot of the bed and I use it on those really chilly nights. During the day I use the sham covered pillows on top of the pillows I use at night and remove them when it is time for bed. I really want to buy another white set for the guest room
