TLDR at the bottom (sorry for the saga)
This is part PSA, part cry for help. I appreciate anyone's thoughts!
It's a very long and frustrating story, but the gist is I purchased a cloud comforter from Buffy in mid October which was suddenly "sold out" immediately after I bought even though it said it would be delivered within 3-5 days.
They charged my credit card within a week of the initial purchase and gave me the runaround for nearly 2 months (multiple backorder periods, shipments that never reached the carrier, inability to cancel the order, etc). Eventually I had to go to my credit card company to get my money back.
What I'm looking for is a mid-warmth, king sized, solid-colored comforter that can be machine washed.
I don't have any allergies and have no budget constraints I'd just like to not have to deal with a duvet cover.
TLDR: don't fall for Buffy. Is there a solid-colored, machine washable comforter out there?
TLDR: I would recommend the Buffy breeze duvet insert but not the sheet set or duvet cover.
Well I wanted to post a review somewhere since Buffy won’t let me post a review to their website, which I find to be quite dishonest; their reviews are definitely curated to only show 5 star reviews. I was initially drawn in by the promise of cooling bedding and went forward with purchasing because of their sustainability goals. I ended up buying their duvet insert, duvet cover, & sheet set which I have used for a few months now.
Duvet (Breeze) insert review:
-
positives: plush, more cooling than my feather duvet, ideal for spring & fall weather
-
negatives: still sleep hot & would probably be better off with a thin quit or blanket
Duvet cover review:
-
positives: soft
-
negatives: improper sizing (too much material so it does not fit the insert; they say it will shrink but I have washed & dried it at least 5 times and it has not shrank a bit), extreme static when you take it out of the dryer
Sheets review:
-
positives: soft
-
negatives: improper sizing (the top sheet is too small), elastic for fitted sheet does not work properly so it does not stay put during the night & bunches ups A LOT (Target sheets have better elastic), extreme static from dryer
I’ve had mine since September of 2019 and have genuinely loved it (totally agree about the duvet cover being awkwardly larger and having loose fabric just hanging around) but the Breeze itself has been lovely. I’ve always dry cleaned it but was so sick of the process I said fuck it and threw it in the wash and the inside material has separated and now there are giant holes in the material. Obviously it’s my fault for not following the wash guidelines but I’ve never seen materials react like this. Super disappointed but just putting it out there that it absolutely is dry clean only…
I own the Buffy cloud and I gotta say, even though it’s sooo soft and fluffy, it’s just way too damn hot. I was hoping the Breeze would be the solution, but sad to see it’s also too hot. I’ve had my Buffy cloud for over a year now.
On the hunt for summer bedding on Reddit, but while here, I recommend a tailor! I imagine it would be an easy fix.
