Questions and answers
- Which is better for hot sleepers?
- Quince's 100% linen is the more breathable choice, since linen wicks moisture without a cotton component. Parachute's blend still sleeps cool but traps slightly more warmth.
- Is the Parachute set worth $64 more?
- Only if you dislike ironing or deep creases. The cotton blend wrinkles less and feels softer immediately. Otherwise the Quince set does the same job for less.
- Which lasts longer?
- Pure linen is the more durable fiber over years, and Quince's garment-washed finish softens with each wash. Parachute's blend is sturdy too, but cotton wears faster than flax.
- Do both fit deep mattresses?
- Yes. Both fitted sheets are rated for mattresses up to 16 inches deep. Quince adds elastic all the way around the fitted sheet for a tighter grip.
- Which is easier to care for?
- Quince. It is machine washable and can be tumble dried. Parachute says machine wash but line dry, which takes longer.
- Are both certified safe?
- Yes. Parachute uses OEKO-TEX certified materials, and Quince holds STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX certificate 11-54954.
