Parachute Brushed Cotton Sheet Set

Parachute’s Brushed Cotton Sheet Set won us over with its amazing quality and extreme softness. In our testing, we were impressed with the construction of these smooth, medium-weight sheets. They feel substantial without being too heavy or light. Plus, they arrived in flawless condition, and we only noticed a few loose threads after washing, which is pretty par for the course. They didn’t shrink at all, and they fit on our mattress perfectly, staying in place amidst tossing and turning. During our durability tests, the sheets did not show any signs of pilling or thinning.

These sheets have a plain weave and use Oeko-Tex certified cotton grown in Portugal, which is then brushed to give it that cloud-like texture. This brushing technique also lends itself to a cozier sheet, so while these sheets aren’t cooling, they are plenty breathable and can adapt to all kinds of climates. It’s also worth noting that you can purchase this sheet set with or without a flat sheet, which is a nice bonus for anyone who never uses the top sheet anyway.

After using these sheets for three months, they retained their luxurious appearance and developed a noticeably softer, less starchy feel over time. However, one flaw we noticed was that it was hard to get stains out of them, particularly makeup and oil stains. Additionally, the elastic on the sheets could have been more secure. Still, we think their incredible softness and durability more than make up for these issues.
