It is not very thick. So do not think you can use this and stay warm. However, I got this for my mother to use as her Christmas bedding, and we added a duvet, a coverlet, and then this set for the layered look. It has a very inviting look. It is not too busy. You could not go wrong for a 7 piece set, and I got it for $60. Which is what one would want to pay for bedding which will only be out during the holidays.
