Buffy, the startup that dominated the internet with its comforter made from recycled plastic bottles, has made bed sheets from 100% eucalyptus-based fiber — and reportedly come with the plant’s naturally temperature-regulating properties.
Sheet sets range from $169 to $229 and a queen-size set will cost you $199. You can pick up sets for Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, and Cal King mattresses and in three neutral colors: Gray, Light Grey, and Blush. Each set will include a fitted sheet, top sheet, and two pillowcases.
Like the rest of the product offerings, Buffy’s sheets are built upon an environmentally conscious blueprint. The Austrian eucalyptus used to make its fabric reportedly requires 10 times less water to grow than cotton. And, in the company’s first offering of colorways in bedding, all its hues were naturally created with ingredients like gardenia, pomegranate, turmeric, and walnut without using bleach or harsh chemicals.
Like many sleep startups familiar with customer concerns of buying products online, Buffy has good customer service policies in place; you’ll get free shipping, free returns, and a pay-later trial that means you’ll only be charged once the seven-day trial ends and you’ve chosen to keep the sheets. If you don’t love them after the trial, returns can be initiated within 30 days of ordering.
In terms of cost, you can find sheets for around the same price from other popular home startups. Snowe’s queen-sized Sateen Set is $220 (though it’s been discontinued), Brooklinen’s Luxe Sateen is $159, and (though it costs an additional $100 to add a top sheet). Obviously, Buffy’s set is unique in being made from eucalyptus fiber. The closest material equivalent would be the heavier, silkier set offered by Ettitude for $178 that’s made from bamboo lyocell.
Review of Buffy’s eucalyptus sheets
Buffy’s sheets are among my favorite sheets of all-time. They’re wonderfully silky and cool-to-the-touch, and they actually deliver on being softer than my linen sheets and more breathable than my cotton sets. If you can afford them, I highly recommend trying them.
The only con I’d mention is that they’re relatively thin. You’ll probably be able to vaguely see the patterns on pillows underneath, which could pose an issue with a lot of wear.

In the weeks, I’ve been sleeping under Buffy’s sheets, they’ve become one of my all-time favorite sets.
First of all, the material is decadent. It’s the kind of silky fabric that threatens to slip off and out of a folded stack whenever it’s not laid at ground level. It’s also cool to the touch. The company bills it as being softer than linen and more breathable than cotton, and I’ve found that to be true. I own both linen and cotton sets, and I prefer Buffy’s for everyday use. They’ve held up well to being washed indiscriminately with other linens at my local laundromat.
When I first started using them, I thought I would revert to linen because it feels more breathable overall but I actually prefer these because they’re so airy. Other sheet sets I own, like Ettitude’s Bamboo Lyocell Sheets, are silkier, but not as breathable. Buffy’s sheets are a good combination of next-to-skin softness and breathability.
The only possible con is that the sheets themselves are relatively thin — if your pillows have loud patterns on them, you may be able to see some of it underneath the Buffy covering. Its thinness may be a boon for breathability, but it could potentially mean they don’t last as long as other thicker pairs. However, you have a seven-day trial to see if that’s a deal-breaker before being charged, and a 30-day window from when you ordered in which to decide you want to send them back.
Overall, if you’re looking for silky, soft, breathable sheets that are both eco-friendly and primed to keep you from sweating at night, these are worth checking out.
