Very light and airy but never fear; plenty of warmth to snuggle into when the air conditioner and ceiling fan are on. I get cool easily but don't need extra blankets with this light weight comforter. I wash it often because my 3 year old loves to get on the bed with his juice bottle or something else messy but the set always comes out fluffy and clean. I do give the set a quick ironing after it comes out of dryer. It is neat-looking and does not appear to look cheep - Well, worth it for the price.
