This is very thin. Definitely not enough on its own in the winter. I needed something big enough to actually cover a king sized bed and it does do that reasonably well (why doesn't anyone make a king bedspread that actually reaches the floor??)... But I won't really get to use it until it warms up outside. I think it will be great for that purpose. To use it in the winter I'll have to start the hunt for an extra large blanket to use with it.
