Even combined with Duvet cover, very light weight and warm. I live in a 1910 house, very cold in the winter (upstate NY). I do not require an additional blanket with this comforter. I love Down comforters, but as I aged, I started to suffer "allergy" to down. I was sad to say goodbye to my feather pillows and comforters. The alternatives are not exactly the same, but, they are better than I thought they would be. So, nice surprise.
