This soft, supportive-yet-airy pillow is filled with 85-percent of RDS-certified goose down, a hypoallergenic material that’s ideal for people with allergies, and is constructed with a sateen cotton shell that encourages airflow to help keep you cool. There are three firmness options available, including its ultra-plush ‘soft’ pillow, which is best for stomach sleepers, the ‘medium’ which has the perfect loft for back sleepers, and the ‘firm,’ which is densest and most supportive for side sleepers. While the pillows are intentionally designed to match your sleeping position, numerous customers have written about the versatility, durability and soft-supportive comfort that’s available in all three options. “When I lay on my side I can scrunch it up between my head and arm and it’s so soft. It’s like a cloud. The rare times I lay on my back the pillow gives but is still firm enough to feel cradled and supported properly. I had gone through a number of pillows previously but hands down these are the best,” one reviewer raves.

Cons
Winner: Parachute
These pillows have received numerous rave reviews for their Goldilocks’ quality of getting itjust right.No matter the density level you select, all of their pillows are designed to accommodate multiple sleeping positions to keep you supported and comfortable all night long. That said, if you’re looking for an authentic plush, mid-plush or firm density pillow, we’d say you’re probably better off going with Brooklinen’s more focused options.
WHO WINS, BROOKLINEN OR PARACHUTE?
It really comes down to your price range and comfort preferences.
Overall, Brooklinen is ideal for people who want comfortable, high-quality products that aren’t astronomically priced. While Brooklinen stole the show with their ultra-soft percale sheets, their sateen sheets took a backseat as most reviewers preferred Parachute’s more breathable, silky Egyptian cotton. Otherwise, the brand’s super plush towels and bathrobe were ultra,ultraplush, which could be a good thing or a bad thing— depending on your preferences. Similarly, their down pillows are less versatile and more single-focused when accommodating multiple sleep positions. However, if you’re looking for luxury without the price tag, Brooklinen undoubtedly offers comfortable, long-lasting and quality products at a considerably lower price.
When it comes to finding la crème de la crème of bedding and bath products—Parachute is the way to go (mostly). If you’re looking to pay for luxury, we’d say the versatility and quality of Parachute’s sateen sheets and down pillows are well-worth the investment. (However, we would recommend you skip the splurge on their percale sheets and go with Brooklinen’s more affordable set.)
In terms of towels and robes, Parachute’s products are constructed more methodically to create a versatile, mid-plush feel that’s better for everyday use. If your primary concern is finding high-quality products at an affordable price, we highly doubt you’ll notice a significant difference between Brooklinen’s less extravagant construction. Overall, if you’re willing to open your wallet, Parachute’s items will totally give your bedroom and bathroom a luxurious, Ritz-Carlton-esque vibe.
