No this is more of a quilt. it is not too hot. No stickiness of any kind. Not really microfiber at all. Could be thin on a really cool night of 25 or below. I Ann a hot sleeper and I have no issues.

It is light and smooth. There is no yucky, sticky back. It is the best bedspread I have found for this Texas weather.

This particular spread that I ordered is quilted on both sides. It is absolutely wonderful to sleep under and is a beautiful spread to display on your bed anytime. For cold nights, you might need to add an extra blanket, but there is nothing microfiber about this bedspread!

i am quite satisfied with this bedspread and i highly recommend it. the fabric is great it looks great on both sides. i have washed it and was please with how it looked after the wash and dry of the bedspread. the shape did not change looks as good as new. if you are a hot nature person covering up with any top cover can be too much to be under. if you are looking for 5 star hotel look in a bedspread it is the one.

I really don't know what they mean by microfiber. It is simply a bedspread. I am an EXTREMELY hot sleeper and this bedspread is perfect. I have now washed it about 4 times. We have a dogs and cats. It does attract some lint on the chocolate brown part, but not a lot. I really love this spread!

I don't know, I never thought of it. Polyester bothers me, and this comforter feels just right. It washes great, I have washed it 6 times in a year and it seems to get better with each wash. That's all I can say. I have two of them. One inside a flannel cover and the other just on top of the sheets.

You need a thicker type cover on real down/feather comforters to keep the feathers from poking through. Polyester is usually preferred on cheaper ones. It can be noisy, but comforters are supposed to be placed inside a duvet which muffles the sound and keeps them cleaner. Machine wash, do not dry clean as the chemicals will damage the feathers/down.

The material of the actual pillow is 100% polyester. I was very disappointed as I had read it was 100% organic cotton but that is only the pillow case, allegedly. Pillow overheats because of the polyester and can be very uncomfortable though this kinda helps on cold nights. Even though the cover is said to be organic cotton, it doesn't feel very soft and might as well be some other material. But maybe my skin is just too sensitive. I now have to wrap pillow w other sheets because the "organic" cover irritates me or maybe it is the polyester. Either way, although pillow is comfortable and helps w sleep, it is not worth it because material makes it uncomfortable.

I just bought this bedspread in the fall so have not been through the summer months. It's also on my guest bed so I haven't washed it. The thing I love about it is the luxurious look and the feel. It just adds such warmth to our room. It is a comforter so you may want to pull it back in the summer months. It's not super thick and I think the micro fiber is durable and I expect it to wash well.

The tag says dry clean, which I wasn't aware of when I purchased it. However it is a beautiful comforter which is made of 100% polyester and polyester filled. I have a large HE washer which I decided I would try to wash it in, but I've yet to cross that bridge so I can't tell you how well that worked out.

All I can tell you is that that tag on the sheet says "100% Microfiber." It's soft and comfortable and feels like Egyptian cotton. I feel that this product is worth what I paid.

I am not happy with this double thickness mattress pad. I have a King size bed and the matters pad is too large...I think this might be a Cal king. The inside fiber is polyester and is too warm. I also find the quality is not equal to cost. I would not recommend it. In fact I would like to return it.

I think it is microfiber....wonderful...feel, light, soft...when your husband comments on how wonderful it's a winner.Easy to care for, just keep to their instructions. Love them.

Different people use "microplush" to mean different things. If you mean to ask if the dark portion is similar to microfleece, it is not. Both the light and dark sides of this comforter are made from the same polyester material and are of equal quality and softness. To me, the bedspread feels like a typical soft cotton, similar to cotton sheets (noting that it is not actually cotton, but polyester). I hope this helps!

It is flocked, similar to microfiber, with the sofa it fit my husband easier than myself, he is tall and I am short, but sleeping on it is good, we put regular queen sheets on it, sometimes when used as our sofa, I would place a blanket on it, just because I am cold a lot. Same with the chairs, they are large and I could sit with my feet and legs curled up.

I had a comforter before and it killed me. Seriously. A lot of reviewers for this said it was too thin. In my opinion it's not too thin or not to thick. I sleep with this comforter and satin sheets and I don't get hot. However, I absolutely have to sleep under a fan and that changes the equation. I love it, some hate it. Wish I had a better answer for you. If your generally a very picky person you may not. I got it because of colors and I'm perfectly happy

That is specifically what I bought it for and secondly, because I hated all the little feathers all over the place (and probably in my lungs) from the down comforter. Buy the summer weight and don't use a coverlet on it. (You can wash these even tho it says dry clean. I've washed mine about a dozen times.) I think you will like the weight and the fact that it keeps you cool. I use it in conjunction with Hot Flash Rescue by Peaceful Mountain. You spray it on your chest and back of your neck. I don't wake up nearly as much as I used to. Hope this helped. (BTW: your doctor can prescribe a completely safe bio-identical cream that does not have estrogen to help you)

Dear Jennell, I did not see any tags on the comforter when I unpacked the item from the packaging. I need to change my duvet cover after work tonight and will double check for you this evening as to the comforter having a cosumer tag or not. I will respond to you with the exacts of tag (and what it states) or no tag. Respectfully, Maria Roberts

A down comforter is full of feathers. Depending on the type of feather is going to make a difference in quality. As far as I am aware Siberian goose down is the best, and the reason is the quills (i guess thats what they are called) are soft so you don't experience that feather poking problem. Some people have allergies to feathers, or in general just don't want to deal with it, so they buy alternative comforters. They can be made of different materials, but in my experience, they are always firmer, and usually denser. Some people like that. Also, fill count is going to make a difference. If spending over $100 is a big deal to you like it was to me, I would recommend doing a little research on the specifications of the comforters, and then going to a store and feeling them for what you like. The best deals I have found are on amazon, but you may not want to go into the purchase with a "blind-feel".

The down has not come out of my comforter at all, but I have not washed it and don't plan to. When it needs it, I will have it cleaned. But the cover fabric is a tight weave and I can't imagine anything coming through. I love this comforter, but is very warm so I only use it during the coldest months of the winter.

Everyone answering this with the statement that they are cotton really needs to check the sewn in tag!I don't see 100 % cotton anywhere in the headline or description. This sheet set is 100 % polyester. Does feel like microfiber which is what the description says. I bought the chocolate colored set. UPDATED: I now see a photo that shows packaging stating 100% egyptian cotton. I believe this is only there because it is what they are comparing these sheet to. In all reality they are 100% polyester as I stated above. I took that information directly off the sewn in tag. They feel wonderful and I am extremely satisified with my purchase.
