About Parachute
Parachute started in 2014 selling a single bedding line made in Portugal, and the house style has not really changed: relaxed, undyed-looking neutrals and fabrics that are meant to look better rumpled than pressed.
Linen is the brand's centre of gravity. The flax is European, woven in Portugal, and sold stonewashed so it arrives soft rather than requiring a break-in period the way raw linen does.
Alongside bedding, Parachute runs a full home line — towels, robes, furniture and a set of physical stores — which is why the brand shows up in interior-design searches as often as bedding ones.
What they make: Linen, percale, sateen and brushed cotton bedding; duvet inserts and quilts; towels, robes, rugs and furniture.
Parachute Lineup Compared
| Line | Material | Feel | Queen price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Linen Sheet Set | European flax linen, stonewashed | Textured, breathable, relaxed | $249–$329 | Hot and humid bedrooms; a deliberately undone look |
| Percale Sheet Set | Long-staple Egyptian cotton | Crisp and cool | $159–$199 | Hot sleepers who prefer cotton to linen |
| Sateen Sheet Set | Long-staple Egyptian cotton | Smooth with a soft drape | $179–$219 | Cool rooms and a silkier hand |
| Brushed Cotton | Brushed cotton twill | Soft, warm, flannel-adjacent | $159–$199 | Winter bedding |
Prices are list prices for a queen set and move with frequent promotions. Discounts are less frequent and shallower than Brooklinen's.

Care notes
- Wash linen cold on a gentle cycle and remove it from the dryer slightly damp — it finishes softer and avoids over-drying the flax.
- Wash linen separately for the first few cycles; it sheds lint onto darker cotton.
- Brushed cotton pills less if you avoid high-heat drying.
Parachute FAQs
Is Parachute linen worth it?
If you sleep hot or live somewhere humid, linen is the most breathable common bedding fabric and Parachute's is soft out of the bag. If you want a smooth, wrinkle-free bed, spend less on percale instead.
Parachute vs Brooklinen — which should I buy?
Brooklinen for value, colour choice and a 365-day return window. Parachute for linen specifically and for a coordinated, muted look across the rest of the room.
Does Parachute linen get softer?
Yes. It arrives stonewashed and continues to soften for the first ten to fifteen washes, then stays roughly stable.
How long do Parachute sheets last?
With cold washing and low-heat drying, expect several years of regular rotation. Linen shows wear at the seams and centre panel before cotton does.
