The materials and methods used to make bedding partially determine how often to replace sheets, duvets and pillows. If you want to invest in products that last, go with linen, percale, sateen or brushed cotton for your fabrics and down or down alternative for your inserts.
Known for its laid-back elegance, linen is a super-sturdy, long-lasting textile woven from the fibers of flax plants.
Reminiscent of five-star hotel bedding, cool and crisp percale is a durable fabric made from long-staple Egyptian cotton.
Loomed from long-staple Egyptian cotton with a complex satin-style weave, sateen is a lustrous bedding fabric with a subtle sheen. With the right care, this naturally long-lasting material will remain suitable for your sleeping quarters for years.

Similar to flannel but more lightweight, brushed cotton is a buttery-soft, slightly insulating textile with an undeniably cozy feel.
Down pillows and comforters are filled with extra-soft, fine, airy fibers sourced from the undercoats of geese and ducks.
Engineered to mimic the lofty, fluffy appeal of real down, down alternative is a feather-like microfiber material used to fill duvets, pillows and quilted bedding materials.
How often to replace pillows and comforters also has to do with the stitching. With Parachute, you can count on down and down alternative products in 100% cotton shells with reliable baffle-box or box-stitch construction.
