COuld this be used in the summer with A/C? I need bedding that breathes! Oh, heavy like lead? TIA

It does breathe but it also keeps me very warm in the winter. In the summer I would en up rolling it down and just use bed sheets. We dont have AC though and live in a climate that doesn't get too hot.

We use it year round. We have two different brand wool comforters in this house, the one you are asking about here is the least heavy.

Actually I like this one (Australian) better, the other one came from Dr. Mercola....but it cost over $500 (came with two pillows).However, I just now noticed some of the stitching is coming loose in the Australian...

Hello K. Green- I wouldn't advise using a comforter in the summer. I can't say for sure not knowing your climate but I would think this would be a colder weather comforter. Designer Living Customer Service

I would not recommend it for below freezing temps. it is not thick. winter I use it and a down feather comforter. summer I only use this. I also live in Texas.

It is definitely summer weight. It is fine if you use it with another blanket in the cold weather.

In my opinion, I would not use these in the summer as they are more of a cold-weather sheet like flannels. You could use these without a heavy comforter or blanket in the summer, maybe!

Believe me!! It is a winter warm comforter. You could not have it on your bed in the summer.I love it. When I climb in bed it takes about five minutes and I am toasty warm.

The foam is comparable in density to a memory foam mattress, but probably too soft for your application. An Air Conditioning unit is very heavy and would likely pinch this foam into.

I plan to use ours in the summer, with onesies underneath. :) I wouldn't consider it too thick.

I live in TExas; we have air conditioning and have no problem with this getting too hot; but I should think it would depend on where you live, how hot it gets, etc., but I think it should be at least as comfortable as down, not as itchy as down can be, and no feathers popping out which sometimes happens with down. If your SHEETS are cool fabric, the bed should be comfortable.

If you like being super warm when you sleep sure! I used it this past summer in 50degree at night temps and was comfortable. ..I'm also the type that can't sleep with socks on and like it to be just a bit nippy when I sleep....That being said it's by no means a heavy sleeping bag - I purchased a different coleman for my husband with same temperature ratings and his is warmer/thicker. ..makes no sense but it it what it is!.....To thin it out a little maybe wash it a half dozen times before you use it?

I believe it really depends on the individual. I use mine year round and throw on a blanket in the winter. I think it breaths well and I sleep quite comfortably in the summer with AC on. Bottom line, in my opinion, it's in the middle. It's not made for cold and it's not light weight for hot nights. But for me, it's perfect.

Yes, it would be fine as-is. For winter and fall we have a duvet insert. And those inserts can be as heavy or light as you want. There are a lot to choose from. I love this bedding set - it's gorgeous and cozy...especially when the insert is in it. I've had my set since Jan 2012 and washed it plenty of times with no issues.

I do get hot some at night now but have started using a fan. We have the king size it has held up well and we both are large...over 250 lbs. No indentions. It is heavy so be sure you have sturdy frame. I definitely do reccomend.

This shouldn't be a problem if you have AC. As long as you don't let the room get too warm, the baby will be fine. I would go with the cotton one over the microfleece one though, it will breathe better.

Its definitely for summer. Its very light weight. In the winter you will have to switch to a heavier comforter. I have washed it twice, and its fine. I love the look of it, as well as the decorative pillows.

hi, not quite sure how to answer heavy. but it certainly is hot. i sleep with a cotton sheet and this comforter during summer and i end up kicking it off. it's plenty warm during winter as well. even then, i sleep with just a sheet and the comforter.

I live in SoCal, but use AC when needed. I do not find myself sweaty or anything like that. I've enjoyed it this far. For the price, it's worth a try to save your mattress.
