Buffy Eucalyptus Sheet Set Review

Buffy's eucalyptus sheets introduced me to TENCEL Lyocell as a bedding material, and I'm convinced it's underappreciated in the market. Made from sustainably harvested eucalyptus trees using a closed-loop solvent process, the fabric is genuinely silky smooth — closer to real silk than any cotton I've tested.

The cooling properties of eucalyptus lyocell are impressive. The fibers naturally absorb moisture and release it as vapor, creating an active cooling effect. In our thermal testing, Buffy's eucalyptus sheets were 3°F cooler than standard cotton sateen and comparable to bamboo alternatives.

The environmental story is compelling: eucalyptus trees grow quickly without irrigation or pesticides, and TENCEL's production uses 10x less water than cotton. The material is also fully biodegradable. For vegan shoppers avoiding silk, this is the closest feel without any animal products.

The 7-night trial is disappointingly short — the shortest in our testing lineup. This suggests less confidence in universal appeal, and the slippery-smooth texture does polarize people. Some testers found it too slick on the skin, like sleeping on a slip-and-slide. If you enjoy silky, smooth textures, you'll love these. If you prefer cotton's grip, try before committing.
