These long sticky days and July nights make finding the right temperature to sleep in a real challenge. And with air conditioning blasting and keeping the bedroom frosty, having a blanket on the bed is a must.  This comforter is lightweight but still keeps you warm enough to sleep without shivering. And I really liked the design. It is not girly nor manly and goes well with my decor even though it is primarily blue and red in color. The matching pillow shams are a great complement and the zippers prevent the pillow from sliding out.
