Three Cooling Fabrics, All Gentle on Skin

Your pillowcase is what your skin touches all night, so the fabric matters. The Breeze cases are TENCEL™ lyocell derived from eucalyptus, silky and cool to the touch as they wick heat and moisture away. The Belgian linen is breathable flax with a textured, casual weave, and the Supima cotton is a crisp percale, smooth and light from the first night.

All three are OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Class I certified, the strictest, most skin-safe tier in the standard. Pair them with matching sheets and a duvet cover to pull the whole bed together.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pillow Cases & Shams

For hot sleepers and night sweats, the best pillow case material is a breathable, moisture-wicking fiber. The Breeze Pillowcases use TENCEL™ lyocell that stays cool to the touch and carries heat and moisture away from your skin, which makes them the top pick for warm nights. Belgian linen is another strong choice, with a loose, airy weave that keeps air moving. To sleep cooler, start with the Breeze Pillowcases.

Yes. A smooth pillowcase creates less friction against the skin and hair, which helps reduce irritation, and that matters most for sensitive or acne-prone skin. The Breeze is super-soft, and all three fabrics, TENCEL™ lyocell, Belgian linen, and Supima cotton, are OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Class I certified, tested against more than 1,000 harmful substances. Washing your cases often also keeps oils and buildup off your face.

Buffy pillow cases and shams are made to last. TENCEL™ lyocell and long-staple Supima cotton are fine, strong fibers that resist pilling and keep their color with regular care. Belgian linen gets softer and more beautiful with every wash, improving over years of use. None of these are prone to thinning, so they keep their look and comfort through time.

Caring for pillow cases and shams is simple, and washing them often is good for your skin. Machine wash all three on cold water, then tumble dry on low. Skip bleach and fabric softener, which can coat the fibers and reduce breathability.

Pillow cases come in standard and king sizes to match your pillow. Shams, which are decorative covers, come in Standard (20 by 29 inches) and King (20 by 36 inches). When you shop, match your pillow case size to your pillow insert, not your mattress.

A pillow case is the everyday cover your head rests on, with a simple open end you slip over your pillow. A sham is a decorative cover, usually with a finished border, that dresses the pillows stacked at the head of the bed. Buffy makes both in matching fabrics, so you can coordinate your sleeping and decorative pillows.

Yes. Every Buffy pillow case and sham comes with a 7-night At Home Trial, so there is no charge at checkout until after your trial. All orders also include free standard shipping and 50-night free returns.
