Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Buffy is a bedding company that designs and sells sheets, duvet covers, comforters and pillows to consumers. Its sheet range includes TENCEL, cotton and linen options, and its comforter line is split between a loft-and-lightness product marketed as Cloud and a cooling product marketed as Breeze. Pillows are positioned around matching a customer's individual sleep profile, and the assortment is organized so that duvet covers pair with sheets and protect a duvet insert.

The company emphasizes textile safety and material sourcing. Its products carry OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 Class 1 certification, a third-party verified tier that tests for more than 1,000 harmful substances and is applied to textiles intended for babies and toddlers. Buffy states its products contain no synthetic dyes, phthalates, BPA or BPS, and no dye migration. A recent addition to the line is a Matelasse Coverlet woven in Portugal.

Founding story

Buffy was founded in 2018 by a second-generation weaver who observed the chemical intensity of conventional bedding production. The company states that thousands of chemicals, including formaldehydes, BPAs and heavy metals, are used in making the average textile, and that reducing that chemical load for both customers and the environment was the reason the business was started.

Business model

Buffy sells bedding products directly to consumers through its own website, including a cart-based online store with promotional discounts of up to 25% and a complimentary at-home trial that lets customers experience products before paying.

Revenue comes from direct online sales of bedding products across sheets, duvet covers, comforters and pillows.

Latest developments

Buffy introduced a Matelasse Coverlet made with Portuguese weaving and is promoting it alongside its existing bed linen range, together with a complimentary at-home trial program and discounts of up to 25%.
