This is light but still provides warmth. We like to have our a/c on at night and have slept comfortably using this with a sheet. It's very well made and even a little bigger than expected. I bought the King size for a Queen size bed. My bed frame is 20" high so I always get King size to have extra hanging over the mattress and box spring. This quilt still has plenty of material where it touches the floor on both sides and is pulled up all the way to the headboard.
