While Buffy's comforter tends to get all the hype (spoiler alert: it's warranted), you don't want to sleep on sleeping on its sheets. (See what we did there?). Commerce Director Nicole Briese is a total convert after giving the Buffy Breeze sheets a try. "I didn't want to love these sheets as much as I do," she says. "They're pricey, for one, and I thought I had found my go-tos in Cozy Earth, which are still great (see below)—but these are better. While both sets keep me from overheating at night (not an easy feat for a gal living through this Florida heat), the softness of the eucalyptus material of these is what sets them apart. I cannot wait to throw my covers back each night and slide into them—they're that good." They're also fully biodegradable with an OEKO-Tex certification that means they're free and clear from many harmful substances. In short? Sometimes, you gotta believe the hype.

She did warn shoppers to take care not to get into bed with a full face of makeup in these, however, as they're liable to stain. (Read more here.)

Some things age like a fine wine...including these sheets. "[They] have great airflow and they get better with time. As in, the more you wash them, the cozier they feel (at first, they're a little stiff, IMO)," writes Vice President of Editorial Candace Davison. "They also give you full license to slack on making your bed. After all, that rumpled linen gives you that influencer-y, effortlessly cool vibe. ... If you’re the type of person that likes everything to coordinate (duvet cover included), invest in this dreamy linen set, which comes in 15 muted earth-tones." Each piece is stonewashed to ensure a super-soft finish, and as linen sheets lovers know, the splurge will be worth it to experience the increasing buttery feel after every wash.
