Parachute Pillow Reviews

Hotel-plush down and down alternative

Parachute makes the plush, cloud-like pillows most people picture when they think of a nice hotel bed. The down pillow uses high fill-power European white down under a sateen cotton shell; the down alternative version chases the same feel without the birds or the price. Both come in soft, medium, and firm, which matters more than usual with plush fills because the difference between them is substantial.
