Parachute is a woman-founded bedding company that puts emphasis on high-quality materials, sustainable futures and socially responsible production. The products are designed in Venice Beach and the manufacturing is outsourced to skilled craftspeople around the globe. Parachute is transparent about its factories and their locations. The company's percale and sateen sheets are made with Egyptian cotton, the linen-based offerings are made with pure European flax, while the towels are available in 100% Turkish cotton.
The bedding company strives to be not only socially beneficial through responsible manufacturing and ethical practices within the workforce, however. Parachute donates returned products to Habitat for Humanity, while a percentage of the profits of every dog bed goes to Love Leo Rescue. Finally, the bedding company partners with the United Nations Foundation’s 'Nothing But Nets' campaign which sends malaria-prevention bed nets to areas in need.
