Why I’m So Happy I Decided to Treat Myself to a New Bedding Set From Parachute
I recently decided that I was way overdue for a new duvet cover. I also noticed some of my bedding was starting to feel scratchy. I consider myself too old to sleep in an uncomfortable bed. Adding three little kids and a fluffy cat to the family definitely had an impact on our quality of sleep, but I decided that my family spends too much time in my bed and I wanted an upgrade. Overwhelmed by my options, I asked my best friend (whose home is flawless) what duvet and sheets I should buy for my bedroom. She recommended Parachute, a modern company prioritizing quality and comfort. She promised me a soft, natural style that I would love.
Parachute specializes in creating the best quality products by working with expert craftsmen and the best factories in Europe. Their fabrics are soft, comfortable, breathable, and Oeko-Tex certified (meaning no harmful chemicals). After learning more about Parachute, I was excited to pick out something special for our bedroom.
I loved all their bedding choices because they are soft, natural tones that create a sense of comfort in the home. For bedding, I knew I wanted something with muted colors, inspired by nature. Sometimes this can be boring, but Parachute’s fabrics have a nice texture, making the style unique. If you’re looking for a set that feels different and special without going overboard, I’d say all of Parachute’s are perfect.
Their Percale Sheets and Sateen Sheets are both made of 100% Egyptian cotton which is famously soft and breathable, and very durable to withstand the warm climate where it grows. Sateen is a bit smoother, which gives it a shinier look, and Percale is more crisp and cool, which is great if you want to avoid night sweats. For us, Linen was the best choice because it’s soft yet durable. We got the Linen Venice Set in Fog, which includes the duvet cover, pillowcases and a fitted sheet. I added on a top sheet because that item is offered extra. Apparently 40% of Americans sleep without one, but I like that top sheet. Their website says linen is: good for warm or cool sleepers, which is perfect since I like to sleep warmly and comfortably, while my husband prefers to stay cool. Yes, my bed needs to be relaxing and comfortable, but I can certainly still enjoy a little bit of luxury.
After a month of our new bed set, I’m very happy with our purchase. I even bought another set of Pillowcases in White. My husband loves that we no longer have floral bedding and I think the modern design looks chic. Most importantly, our bed is so much more comfortable and the fabric is unbelievably soft with a very natural feeling. I can actually relax a little more. Even the kids and cat love it, too, which leaves more time for cuddling.
Parachute also offers free shipping and returns as well as a 60-night trial run on all bedding! You can follow this link to check out the collection.
