Description
Our Breeze Pillowcases are cool-to-the-touch, breathable, and designed to get softer with every wash.
- Super-soft, sateen weave fabric woven from lyocell fiber
- Ultra-smooth lyocell fiber absorbs moisture more efficiently than conventional cotton, keeping your skin feeling cool and dry throughout the night
Details
- Lyocell fibers are derived from sustainable wood sources like eucalyptus and harvested from sustainably managed forests
- These plant-based fibers are fully biodegradable and compostable
- OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Class 1 certified product has been tested against a list of over 1,000 harmful substances.
- Each pillowcase set includes two pillowcases
- Each set is delivered in a unique Buffy Blush tote, crafted from surplus Buffy materials, embodying our steadfast commitment to sustainability
Independent Testing & Research:
Fiber smoothness. Under microscopy, lyocell has a nearly circular cross-section and a smooth, cylindrical surface — without the striations, twists, or ridges of cotton and linen (published fiber science, ScienceDirect: Lyocell Fiber). A smoother surface means less friction against the skin, which is what registers as softness.
Skin health. Researchers Love and Nedorost found significant preference among subjects with sensitive skin for lyocell (vs cotton) for its softness, temperature control, moisture control, and wrinkle resistance (published in Dermatitis, Vol 20, Issue 1).
Cool touch. Intertek (FTTS-FA-019) measured a Qmax of 0.405 W/cm² — the higher the Qmax, the faster heat moves from skin to fabric. Most performance-cooling sheets rely on synthetic nylon and spandex. Ours are woven from 100% TENCEL™ Lyocell — a cellulosic fiber from responsibly sourced Eucalyptus — and still test cool.
Moisture management. In peer-reviewed testing at 20°C and 60% humidity, lyocell absorbed 9.23% of its weight in moisture versus cotton's 5.54% — about 67% more. (A controlled fiber test, not a finished-sheet measurement.)
Durability. Hohenstein (ASTM) recorded first thread breakage at 18,000 abrasion rubs (D4966-22), a 4.0–5.0 pilling resistance (D3512), and tear strength of 10.4 lbf warp / 6.4 lbf weft (D1424).
Clean. Certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Class I — the strictest class, held to the same standard as textiles for babies under three.
