Cloud Pillow
- A flexible everyday option for sleepers who change positions during the night.
- Choose between soft, medium, and firm versions to adjust the amount of cushioning and support.
- Its TENCEL™ Lyocell shell has a smooth feel and is designed to manage moisture.
- Recycled PET fill gives the pillow its fluffy, down-alternative feel while allowing different firmness options.
Cloud Side Sleeper Pillow
- Built specifically around the needs of side sleepers rather than using a one-size-fits-all design.
- A dedicated shoulder opening creates space around the shoulder while the raised profile supports the head.
- The foam filling can be removed or added to customize the pillow’s height and feel.
- Its cooling cover is removable and machine washable for easier care.
Cloud Cooling Pillow
- Designed for people who tend to wake up warm or prefer a cooler surface against their head.
- The pillow features a cool-touch cover and shredded foam filling that can be adjusted to change its height and firmness.
- The cover is removable and machine washable, while the foam insert should not be washed.
- Buffy lists the pillow as OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Class I certified and uses CertiPUR-US® certified foam.
Body Pillow
- A 54-inch-long design that gives side sleepers additional cushioning and body support.
- The soft recycled fill can be used between the legs, hugged against the body, or positioned wherever extra support is needed.
- Buffy also describes it as suitable for stomach and back sleepers and as an additional support option during pregnancy.
- Its TENCEL™ Lyocell shell is designed to help manage moisture while providing a smooth sleeping surface.
Wiggle Pillow
- This is the choice for sleepers who want support that can move with them rather than stay in one fixed position.
- Its long, flexible shape can be placed beneath the belly, between the knees, or behind the back.
- It was designed with pregnancy in mind but can also be used for lounging, nursing support, or as a traditional body pillow.
- The cover is made from TENCEL™ Lyocell and can be removed for machine washing.
Neck Pain Relief Pillow
- Created for back and side sleepers who want more structured support around the neck.
- The contoured shape is designed to keep the neck and spine in a more stable position while sleeping.
- A breathable polyester-and-lyocell cover can be removed and machine-washed.
- Unlike the softer Cloud designs, this pillow uses a purpose-built polyurethane foam structure for targeted cervical support.
How to Choose a Pillow Based on Your Sleep Position
Side sleepers may prefer a higher or more structured pillow to fill the space between the head and mattress, while back sleepers generally benefit from support that keeps the neck comfortably aligned. Combination sleepers may want adjustable fill or a softer design that works across multiple positions. For people who primarily sleep on their side, the Cloud Side Sleeper Pillow offers position-specific features, while the Cloud Pillow provides more flexibility for people who change positions.
Create a More Personalized Sleep Setup With Buffy Pillows
There is no single pillow shape that works perfectly for every sleeper. The best choice depends on how you sleep, how much support you prefer, whether you tend to overheat, and whether you need extra cushioning around your body. Buffy’s collection makes it possible to choose between adjustable everyday pillows, cooling designs, body support, and targeted neck support.
