The Buffy Cloud is the budget-friendly sibling of the brand's famous comforter: recycled PET down-alternative fill in a TENCEL lyocell cover, sold in soft, medium and firm densities at about $50.
It's a simple, vegan, machine-washable pillow that has become a default recommendation for guest rooms and stomach sleepers who want low loft without real down.

Picking a density
Soft suits stomach sleepers and anyone who wants a barely-there pillow. Medium works for back sleepers. Firm is the only density side sleepers should consider, and even then broad-shouldered side sleepers will likely want more loft.
Sustainability angle
The fill is spun from recycled plastic bottles and the cover is TENCEL lyocell, a wood-pulp fiber. For shoppers avoiding animal products and virgin synthetics, that's the Cloud's clearest differentiator at this price.
Longevity expectations
Like all fiber pillows, the Cloud will lose loft faster than foam or latex. Budget a replacement cycle of roughly one to two years with nightly use — acceptable at this price, but worth knowing.
