Buffy is Tencel Lyocell (specific eucalyptus process, more durable). Generic bamboo is viscose (less durable but cooler). Buffy for long-term, bamboo for budget cooling.
5°F cooler, feels notably breathable. Moisture-wicking pulls sweat away. Real difference for hot sleepers.
Generic bamboo does pill more than premium options. Fine for budget category. Buffy pills less due to Tencel process.
Bamboo grows fast + regenerates. Some processing is water-intensive. Better than cotton for water use; not as green as cotton for some processing steps.
