My review verdict
After a week with the medium down pillow, I liked its light, fluffy feel and how comfortably it paired with my Parachute duvet during a cold Minnesota December. My wife also noticed the difference in feel compared with cheaper down pillows. These impressions are from the original medium sample, rather than a test of every firmness option.
My original firsthand review
This account describes the original sample and testing period. Product specifications, prices, offers and company information below reflect that earlier review.
Parachute is expanding their product line and now offers pillows. I received their medium down pillow which retails for $89. Parachute really wowed me with their duvet and it was nice to know that the same down that goes into their high-quality duvet also goes into their pillows.
Overview of the Parachute Pillow
My Parachute Pillow Findings
Outside of their showroom in LA, Parachute is sold exclusively online. They are a relatively new company and are expanding their offerings beyond sheets to an entire bedding collection. As I mention in the video above, my wife was surprised by the feel of this pillow. That's because with cheaper down, you will feel the feathers inside. Often times these feathers will leak out of the pillow, especially after a pillow fight. Cheaper down pillows are also clumpy and inconsistent in their feel.
With Parachute you get good, clean down that just feels amazing. Best of all, with a 750 fill power you get an extra fluffy pillow that's also light. If you have never purchased a high end down pillow this will come as a surprise.
I have been sleeping on my Parachute down pillow for a week now and it pairs wonderfully with my Parachute duvet. Since we are near Christmas, it's only getting colder in Minnesota and it's time to get cozy! Fellow Minnesotans with old, poorly insulated houses like mine understand the need to keep your head warm at night as well as your body and this pillow does the trick.
At $89, it is a bit of an investment for a pillow but also remember that just like a mattress you will spend about a third of your life with it so might as well be comfortable.
My Parachute Down Pillow Recommendation
Parachute has brought quality down pillows to market at a much more accessible price than the competition. Here's a down pillow for from The Company Store. Notice that this is only 50% down with a 50% feather blend at a price of $79-$99.
Best of all, with Parachute they have a 30-day guarantee. If you just don't like their product, you can get it returned for free, they will send you a pre paid shipping return label. Just make sure to keep the original packaging.
