Over the past few months, I’ve really focused on improving my sleep. I’ve never been a bad sleeper, but I’ve noticed I feel more lethargic throughout the day. After optimizing my exercise and diet, sleep was next up on the self-improvement list, and I snagged some linen bedding from Parachute after reading rave reviews online. I’m a notoriously hot sleeper (I’ve been called a ‘radiator’ on more than one occasion), and was curious to see if Parachute’s linen sheets were a match for my night sweats. Here’s what I bought:

Before I get into performance, I must quickly note that the duvet cover has helpful pockets, buttons, and ties in the corners and bottom so that fitting my duvet insert inside it is a piece of cake. The fitted sheet also has an elastic hem and covers my queen bed and mattress pad effortlessly. Making the bed is a breeze – and sleeping in it is even breezier.
As soon as I climbed into bed for my first sleep, I felt at home in these sheets – and quickly embraced that gut feeling of having a new fixation to swear by. They’re cool and airy, even in my AC-less Southern California apartment. I won’t claim that they made me feel cold by any means (these aren’t magic sheets – they’re just really high-quality linen made from European flax), but they aren’t stuffy or sticky – and I haven’t woken up drenched in sweat (sorry! I don’t like it either) in weeks.
My husband rolls his eyes at this part, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t at least mention my Oura ring sleep score on a night before Parachute compared to after. Sure, a number of factors play into this, but I really believe in these sheets! Perhaps it’s a coincidence, but I recorded my highest score to date the night I switched over:
I’m no scientist, so I have no way to substantiate my claims, but regardless, I really do believe in these sheets. If you’re searching for a cooler night’s sleep, I recommend them wholeheartedly.
