Take it from this exhausted new mom: The mothers in your life most likely want one thing on May 12, and that’s sleep. But good luck wrapping that up and putting a bow on it. The next best thing? High-quality linens from Buffy, one of our go-to bedding brands that encourages those precious, precious z’s. We’ve combed through Buffy’s current Mother’s Day sale to find the best deals designed to promote rest and relaxation for mamas at whatever stage of the journey they’re in.
Deals abound, and they’re not just for the moms among us. Buying for yourself? Buffy has a forgiving seven-night trial option and generous return policy, meaning you can try out products for a week or take advantage of a refund if you aren’t pleased with your purchase. (Just note that gift items are eligible for store credit only, within 50 days of purchase.) Read on for our top nine picks to help mom hit snooze this Mother’s Day.
Make the bed, literally and figuratively, with Buffy’s Comfy bundle, the brand’s self-described most popular bundle and one that includes a eucalyptus sheet set, duvet cover, comforter, and pillows. Among the goodies for mom: The Cloud comforter (which has clocked in an impressive 20,000-plus five-star reviews and which we named a top bedding pick ourselves), eucalyptus-based Breeze sheet set, silk-like Breeze duvet cover, and a pair of Cloud pillows. Customize the set to your mom’s liking by choosing soft, medium, or firm pillows.
One of the things we love most about Buffy is its simple, neutral aesthetic—the brand’s goods go with just about everything. But if you’re looking to deviate from that clean look, Buffy’s Puffer blanket is a nice option. An indoor-outdoor blanket crafted from recycled polyester and Tencel lyocell (including approximately 30 plastic bottles) is available in pops of color like Earth, Papaya, Plantain, Shadow and Iguana.
A rainbow of available colorways—from surefire basics like White and Oyster to instant-happy shades like Cornflower blue and Butter yellow—makes the Breeze duvet cover an easy way to personalize your gift. The temperature-regulating 300 single-ply thread count sateen weave fabric is woven from Tencel eucalyptus lyocell fibers, and those glorious colors are achieved via a cornucopia of Oeko-Tex certified natural ingredients, among them: turmeric, rose petals, and gardenia. How’s that for a Mother’s Day bouquet?
Buffy calls it “floppy-yet-supportive.” We call it the perfect cuddle companion for pregnancy and beyond. Environmentally conscious (it comprises about 55 plastic bottles) but with a smooth fiber blend that softens further upon each wash, the Wiggle pillow measures 8″ x 82″, ideal for snugglers of all heights. Not expecting? It also makes a funky decorative statement, as one Buffy reviewer puts it: “My pregnancy savior, that now looks so chic on my couch!”
There’s a reason we sang this comforter’s praises so highly when we recently named it the best eco-friendly comforter pick on our Best Of list—actually, there are a bevy of them when it comes to why it’s one of our favorite pieces of bedding. Temperature-regulating, with a weight that’s been thoughtfully designed to support uninterrupted sleep, it’s particularly comfortable for sleepers who tend to run hot or live in warmer climates. As senior commerce editor Rachel Fletcher noted, “Because the fibers are naturally a little heavier, there’s weight to the blanket, which makes it more substantial and warmer than the cooling comforters I’ve tried (like Casper’s), but it’s not as overwhelming as a traditional down comforter. It’s kind of the best of both worlds.”
Buffy might be known for its Tencel, but the brand’s 100% long-staple cotton sheets, available in a percale weave, are nothing to sleep on (figuratively speaking of course). Grab the Cotton bundle to experience them for yourself or treat the mom in your life to the bundle, which includes a Cloud comforter, plus ultra-breathable cotton percale sheets, duvet cover, and Cloud pillows. The products also meet sourcing standards like Water Stewardship, Soil Health, Carbon Emissions, and Fair Labor practices.
Yep, you read that right: Three of Buffy’s Bundle picks made our list because there’s simply no better time to bulk up on bedding than during a big sale. The Cooling bundle, also affectionately known as the Buffy Hot Sleepers Bundle, pairs up the Breeze comforter, the eucalyptus-based Breeze sheet set and duvet cover, and a pair of Cloud pillows into a single sleep-inducing package. As with other of the brand’s bundles, you can mix and match colors (Blush Stripe sheets, anyone?) and sizes, as well as pillow firmness, for the most made-to-order feel.
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: The Cloud Comforter is one of our favorite pieces of bedding. Available in three different sizes, this industry standard-bearer comforter took the internet (and our reviewers) by storm years ago and it hasn’t ceased to create waves. With 100% GRS-certified, BPA-free, recycled PET fill, 300 thread count, and a handy-dandy proprietary stitching pattern that keeps said fill in place, it’s a hard worker that makes sleep look easy. Senior digital design editor Sydney Gore has called it “light, soft, breathable…. Everything you would ever want in a comforter that stays on your bed all year-round.”
A great entry point for those new to the brand, the Breeze sheet set won a Clever Sleep Award in 2022—and has since made an appearance in our Best Bed Sheets and Best Cooling Sheets reviews too. The set has impressed sleepers ever since, as evidenced by 5,000-plus reviewers singing its praises. For example, “I visited my sister and was blown away by how soft her sheets were. She sent me a link and I ordered my own set within a month. I literally fall asleep and wake up every day feeling grateful for how cozy my sheets are.”
