There's no way to sugar coat it: My husband and I are hot and sweaty sleepers. We have tried a number of different bedding options (comforters, duvets) but have always felt uncomfortably hot and smothered. Buying a quilt always seemed a bit "old lady"-ish, but boy am I glad that we gave it a try! This quilt set is just substantial enough to feel comfortably snuggled up in bed without the weight and bulk that traps in body heat. The print and colours are modern and attractive, and I especially like that the lining is made from a contrasting fabric. Highly recommended!
