Like many bedding shoppers before me, I went through the “quilt versus duvet” debate. After consulting each one of my friends via text, duvets ultimately won out for their warmth and ability to be dressed up in duvet covers– transforming your bedding color scheme in an instance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Parachute bedding worth the price?
For the quality you're getting, yes — especially if you care about long-lasting materials over fast-fashion bedding. Parachute uses long-staple Egyptian cotton and Portuguese craftsmanship, which means these sheets and duvet covers hold up wash after wash without pilling or thinning. They're more expensive than Target basics but noticeably cheaper than brands like Boll & Branch or Matouk.
What's the difference between Parachute's percale and sateen?
Percale has a crisp, cool, matte finish — think classic hotel sheets with a light, breathable feel. Sateen has a silky, slightly lustrous surface that drapes more smoothly and feels warmer. If you run hot, go percale. If you like the feeling of sliding into bed, go sateen. Both use the same quality cotton, so it's really about texture preference.
Does Parachute organic cotton get softer over time?
It does — noticeably so. The first few washes might feel a little stiff if you're used to heavily softened department store sheets, but by the third or fourth wash, the cotton relaxes into this lived-in softness that just keeps improving. Resist the urge to use fabric softener — it coats the fibers and actually works against the natural softening process.
How do you wash a Parachute duvet cover?
Machine wash on cold with a gentle detergent, then tumble dry on low. That's it. The organic cotton can handle regular washing without shrinking or losing shape. Just avoid bleach and fabric softener, and don't overstuff your washing machine — the cover needs room to move for an even clean.

Committed to Sustainability
Parachute certainly takes its climate and manufacturing goals seriously, as seen by the concrete plans the company has on all three topics. Parachute is currently climate neutral certified, and is planning on furthering its commitment to the environment by introducing circular programs, such as one for its Recycled Down Pillow, this year.
Additionally, Parachute uses responsible materials transparently, such as its GOTS certified bedding and 100% organic cotton, and is beginning to launch Fair Trade Certified products this year as well.
