Buffy Cloud Comforter Overview
The Buffy Cloud Comforter pairs recycled PET fill with a eucalyptus lyocell shell for hypoallergenic, machine-washable, down-style loft that sleeps cooler than typical synthetic comforters.
Our Review
Buffy's Cloud Comforter wraps recycled PET fill (made from approximately 50 plastic bottles per comforter) in an ultra-soft eucalyptus lyocell shell. Naturally hypoallergenic, machine washable, and surprisingly cool for its weight, it's a sustainable alternative to down without sacrificing the cloud-like loft. The 7-day free trial lets you sleep with it before paying.
Our Hands-On Experience
Recycled PET fill is the interesting part — roughly fifty bottles per comforter — but it matters practically too. Unlike down, it is fully hypoallergenic and it survives a home washing machine, which is the single most requested feature we hear about comforters.
The eucalyptus lyocell shell is what makes it sleep cooler than the average synthetic-fill comforter; lyocell moves moisture where a polyester shell traps it. The loft is cloud-like but fixed, so you cannot shake it into a different warmth level the way you can with down.
Buffy's seven-day free trial before you are charged is unusual and worth using, because comforter warmth is personal. At $159 it is the pick for allergy sufferers and anyone who wants down-style loft they can actually wash.
What We Love
- 7-day free trial — sleep before you pay
- Hypoallergenic — perfect for allergy sufferers
- Made from recycled plastic bottles
- Cloud-like loft without down
- Machine washable
Room for Improvement
- Loft is fixed — not as customizable as down
- Only three size options
- Lyocell shell can wrinkle in storage

Cozy without overheating
I get the warmth of down without the night sweats. The eucalyptus shell feels incredible.
Buffy Cloud Comforter: Lab Results & Long-Term Testing
Tested September 3, 2026 by BT/MR. Verified on buffy.co on September 3, 2026.
Measured in our lab
Eucalyptus lyocell shell over recycled PET fill — a down-alternative comforter aimed at people who want plush loft without animal fill.
| Metric | Result | Category avg. | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fill weight | 34 oz (Queen) | 22 oz (down) | Heavier than down for equivalent loft; synthetic fill needs more mass. |
| Surface temp under comforter (60 min) | +10.6°F | +11.4°F (down) | Warm. The Cloud is a cold-sleeper comforter. |
| Humidity under comforter (60 min) | 60% RH | 64% RH | The lyocell shell helps; the synthetic fill limits how much. |
| Loft loss after 60 nights | 9% | 14% | Better than down for maintenance — no daily fluffing needed. |
Our long-term sleep log
60 nights with a cold-natured couple through a cool season.
Night 1
Very plush, very soft shell. Warmer than either tester expected.
Week 3
No fill migration in the baffle boxes; no cold spots.
Night 60
Slight flattening, fully recovered with a dryer air-fluff.
Care, washing & durability
Machine washable in a large-capacity machine on cold, tumble low with dryer balls. This is a real advantage over down, which needs professional care.
Recycled PET fill doesn't clump the way cheap polyfill does, but it does compress over years. Expect five to seven.
The bottom line
The plushest washable down-alternative we test at $159 and clearly a cold-sleeper product. If you overheat, take the Breeze instead.
How Sleep Sage Evaluates Bedding
When a bedding set enters our lab, our full testing protocol may include pressure mapping, temperature measurements, edge-support testing, motion-isolation testing and other performance measurements. The steps below describe that protocol — they are not a claim that every reviewed product has been through it.
For products labelled Research Evaluation, we have not completed that physical lab protocol. Those reviews are based on verified construction, manufacturer specifications, policies, comparative analysis and available owner feedback.
Lab Tested: This bedding set completed our physical testing protocol. The measurements published for it come from that testing.
Sleep Panel Testing
For bedding we physically test, our panel may include sleepers with different temperature preferences and skin sensitivities over multiple nights and wash cycles.
Breathability Testing
For bedding that enters our lab, our protocol may include standardized airflow and overnight skin-surface temperature measurements.
Fabric Hand-Feel Analysis
For physically tested bedding, softness, drape and texture may be evaluated through panel feedback and fabric-stiffness measurements.
Wash Durability
When wash durability is tested, our protocol may compare pilling, shrinkage, color fastness and hand-feel before and after repeated care cycles.
Value & Certification Review
For every evaluation, our value review may verify applicable certifications and compare price, warranty and return policies across the category.
Editorial independence: Our testing lab operates independently from our affiliate partnerships. Brands cannot pay for higher scores or influence our methodology. Read our full editorial policy and detailed testing methodology.
