Cooling Bedding
Many performance-cooling sheets rely on synthetic nylon and spandex. Our cooling comforter, pillow and sheeting fabrics are woven from 100% TENCEL™ Lyocell, a cellulosic fiber derived from responsibly sourced wood—and still achieved a lab-tested Qmax of 0.405 W/cm².

Frequently Asked Questions About Cooling Bedding
The multi-award-winning Buffy Breeze line is the best cooling bedding for hot sleepers. Made from 100% TENCEL™ lyocell derived from eucalyptus, it covers the whole bed in one breathable, moisture-managing fabric.
Yes, cooling bedding works when the fabric is engineered to move heat and moisture away from the body. The Buffy Breeze sheets, made from TENCEL™ lyocell, have been shown to move 32% more air than cotton and to lower body temperature by 1.9°F in lab testing. The fiber also has a higher thermal conductivity rating than cotton, so heat dissipates roughly 20% faster.
The difference is where the cooling lives. Fiber-based cooling is in the fabric itself: the Buffy Breeze line uses TENCEL™ lyocell with a nanofibril structure that wicks moisture and releases heat through the weave. Chemical coatings like PCM are sprayed onto finished fabric and wash out over time. Fiber-based cooling does not, because the cooling is the fabric.
Yes. TENCEL™ lyocell in the Breeze line absorbs more moisture than cotton and releases it outside the sleep environment, so the fabric does not feel heavy or damp through the night. The Breeze sheets are named Esquire's Best Sheets for Hot Sleepers, and the Breeze Comforter is specifically positioned to alleviate night sweats.
To keep your cooling bedding performing at its best, machine wash cold and tumble dry on low. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, which coat the fibers and diminish breathability and moisture management. Wash separately from heavy items like towels to protect the delicate weave, and remove items promptly from the dryer to minimize wrinkles.
No. The cooling effect of the Buffy Breeze bedding will not wash out because it comes from the structure of the TENCEL™ lyocell fiber itself, not from a surface coating. With cold-water washing and low-heat drying, the fabric maintains its airflow, moisture-wicking, and heat-dissipation properties wash after wash.
Buffy cooling bedding comes in standard bed sizes from Twin to California King. Sheet sets and flat sheets are available across the full range, while fitted sheets run from Full to California King. Pillowcases and shams come in standard and king sizes, and duvet covers come in Twin/Twin XL, Full/Queen, and King/California King combinations.
Yes. Buffy cooling sheets are OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Class I certified, the strictest tier, tested against more than 1,000 harmful substances. The TENCEL™ lyocell fiber is pH-balanced to 4.0–7.5, within the skin's natural protective barrier range, and woven with no catching fibers or synthetic finishes that can irritate sensitive skin.
Cooling From the Fiber Up
Many performance-cooling sheets rely on synthetic nylon and spandex. Our cooling fabric is woven from 100% TENCEL™ Lyocell, a cellulosic fiber derived from responsibly sourced wood—and still achieved a lab-tested Qmax of 0.405 W/cm².
Independent Testing:
Cool-to-the-touch performance: In Intertek testing under FTTS-FA-019, Breeze achieved a Qmax of 0.405 W/cm². Higher Qmax indicates faster initial heat transfer from the skin to the fabric.
Moisture management: In peer-reviewed fiber testing at 20°C and 60% relative humidity, lyocell measured 9.23% equilibrium moisture regain versus 5.54% for cotton—approximately 67% higher. This was a controlled fiber test, not a measurement of finished-sheet temperature.
Durability: Hohenstein testing using ASTM methods observed first thread breakage at 18,000 abrasion rubs under ASTM D4966-22, a 4.0–5.0 pilling-resistance rating after 60 minutes under ASTM D3512, and tear strength of 10.4 lbf warp and 6.4 lbf weft under ASTM D1424.
Finished-textile testing: Certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Product Class I—the standard’s strictest product class, designed for textiles used by babies and children up to age three.
