Eli and Elm
Pros
- Curved side sleeper design shaped around neck and shoulders

Questions about each
Buffy
How much do Buffy sheet sets cost?+
Sheet sets start at $40, which is the entry point shown for the range and a low opening order for anyone trying the brand. Larger sizes and linen options sit above that figure, so the starting price is a floor rather than a typical basket. Delivery is free, with a spend threshold of $0.
How long do I have to return a Buffy order?+
You have 50 days to return an order, which is longer than the 30 day median across the market. The window comes with a return charge of $0, so returns are handled at no added cost. The window covers a real settling in period rather than a quick change of mind.
Eli and Elm
What does Eli and Elm sell?+
Eli and Elm sells latex and memory foam pillows for side, back and stomach sleepers. The range includes a curved side sleeper pillow, everyday pillows, a body pillow, a weighted comforter and pillowcases with pillow fill.
How is the side sleeper pillow shaped?+
The side sleeper pillow uses a curved shape that fits around the neck and shoulders. The design is made to keep the head and neck supported while staying on one side or switching sides during the night.
