Buffy makes comforters that are better for you and the earth, using skin-friendly eucalyptus fabric and fluffy fill made from 100% recycled water bottles. Buffy’s hypoallergenic materials shut out dust, mold and mites – preventing nighttime breathing of harmful allergens. The inside fill of each comforter is made from 100% recycled, bpa-free water bottles that are transformed and given a second life as a soft, fluffy fiber. Buffy believes bedding is personal, so they offer a complimentary trial. Try a comforter in your own home for 30-days. If you don’t love it, return it free! For $20 off your Buffy comforter, visit Buffy.co and enter the promo code SELFIE.
