These Eucalyptus Sheets Are So Breathable, I Gift Them to Everyone in My Life

With spring-wedding season in full swing, I find myself inundated with ceremony invitations and wedding registries galore. The task of scoping out the perfect gift for a new couple can feel pretty daunting, especially if you're shopping for newlyweds with vastly different interests. Perhaps the bride is interested in something stylish that'll elevate the look (and feel) of their future home; maybe the groom is hoping for something functional that'll help them ease into their new lives, like a durable cookware set or smart TV. To appease both of their interests, I always like to gift something that they'll both be able to appreciate and get extended use out of — like a new comforter or luxurious bedding set.

In my experience, bedding is the ultimate failsafe gift for newly married couples, especially if you're shopping out more luxurious options that they might not be willing to splurge on themselves. I've tested a lot of bedsheet sets in my career, but always come back to these Buffy Eucalyptus Sheets ($156, originally $195) — and gift them to everyone in my life, whether it's a friend moving into their first home or a couple looking to check a few items off their wedding-registry wishlist. Unlike other sheet sets, these Buffy sheets are made from a highly breathable eucalyptus material that's softer than cotton and built to last.

Ahead, I break down everything to know about these eucalyptus sheets, including why I'd argue they're one of the best sheets for hot sleepers. From their pilling-resistant design to the wide array of color options, keep reading for my full review.

More than anything, I love their lightweight yet durable design. With other sheet sets, I've run into one of two problems: the sheets are breathable but too delicate and tear-prone, or they're thick and made to last, but too heavy for hot sleepers to comfortably enjoy. Somehow, these Buffy sheets have proven to be the exception; they're made from high-quality materials that promote ample airflow and can work for even the most chaotic sleepers.

The sheets feel softer than a traditional set made from cotton or bamboo, yet they still boast a reasonable price tag that totals in under $200. I love that they're designed for year-round use, so I don't have to worry about swapping them out for another set come fall or winter. And with over 30 different color options, it's easy to find a colorway for all types of home aesthetics and designs — making them a great gift for new homeowners, couples, or students moving into a dorm.

Care instructions can vary for different sheet sets, depending on their composition and the brand you're purchasing them from. With eucalyptus sheets in particular, it's recommended that users wash them separately in a cold or delicate cycle, free from fabric softener or bleach; that way, you can preserve their quality over time. Unlike other types of sheets, eucalyptus sets are actually designed to get softer over time — when cared for properly, of course — so it's important to follow the brand's washing instructions.

If you're a young couple or young adult moving into your first home and are looking for a sheet set that's long-lasting and designed to cater to all types of sleepers, this is the perfect product for you. The sheets are cooling and incredibly breathable, making them a sound option for hot sleepers or those prone to sweatiness throughout the night. Despite their thinner build, the eucalyptus sheets are also super durable and made to last. Per the brand, the set has been 3rd party tested for its tear strength, pilling resistance, and color fastness, with results showing it can withstand 255-plus washes — or over seven years of use within a home. In short: these eucalyptus sheets will remain a bedding staple for years to come, so you won't have to worry about replacing them every few years. And if you're looking for inspiration on what to add to your wedding registry, I can't recommend these enough.

This sheet set is available to shop exclusively at Buffy.
