This is my second purchase of this comforter.  I purchased 2 twins for my girls' room and now this queen for me.  We have a heavy flannel duvet cover and it was perfect for it.  Didn't add extra weight.  In the summer, I plan to just use it alone.  I have already washed the girls' several times and come out looking like new each time.  I love the white, since my tweens are into makeup and it can be bleached it necessary, but has washed out without it each time.  

Pros: Attractivel lightweight
