When the hot summer months roll in, we often find ourselves in a tricky predicament—wanting to stay cool while still enjoying the comfort of a cozy bed. At Parachute, we understand as temperatures rise, this delicate balance can sometimes feel like an impossible task. But fear not, we're here to share our expert tips on how to layer your bedding for those warm summer nights because comfort is our top priority, even in the sweltering heat.

Start with Breathable Basics

When it comes to summer bedding, choosing breathable essentials as your base layer is key. Parachute’s soft and luxurious bedding, made from high-quality materials, ensures optimal airflow. Opt for light and airy sheets in natural fibers like cotton or linen. Our Linen Sheet Set is made of pure European flax and is naturally moisture-wicking, which keeps you cool and comfortable as you drift off to dreamland.

Layer Lightly

Don't pack away your duvet just yet! Instead, swap out heavy winter covers for a lightweight option. Choose a cover made from breathable materials like our Linen Duvet Cover or the Organic Cotton Duvet Cover. Their clean, modern aesthetic adds a touch of effortless style to your bedroom with antimicrobial, durable and insulating materials– keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Introduce a Summer Quilt

Layering isn't just about functionality—it's an opportunity to add depth and visual interest to your space. Maybe a duvet is too hot, so why not try a lightweight summer quilt? Our Organic Cotton Air Quilts are soft as can be for those cooler summer nights. Their classic designs and expert craftsmanship ensure they'll be your go-to piece for seasons to come.

Embrace Unexpected with a Lightweight Throw

Summer nights can be unpredictable, with the weather changing on a dime, stay prepared for temperature fluctuations with a lightweight throw blanket. Our Vintage Linen Bed Covers are timeless and offer a vintage look with a lived-in feel. Whether you tuck it in for a clean, minimalist room or leave it messy for laid-back vibes, this bed cover will add just the right touch of charm to your bedroom while providing an extra layer of warmth when needed. 

Prioritize Quality for Enduring Comfort

Our commitment to quality ensures that each piece of bedding is designed to stand the test of time. By choosing GOTS-certified and Oeko-TexⓇ-certified materials, you can sleep peacefully, knowing that your bedding is both sustainable and free from harmful chemicals. Investing in durable essentials means you can enjoy their comfort and style for many summers to come. Our commitment to using only the finest fabrics ensures that your bedding will remain luxurious, even after countless nights of use.

Embrace the Classic

While trends may come and go, classics like Our Oversized Rib Knit Throw never go out of style. As the temperatures rise and the sun shines brightly, it's easy to forget that indoor environments can sometimes become chilly due to air conditioning or unexpected breezes. That's where this timeless throw truly shines, providing a practical solution for those moments when you need just a touch of warmth without sacrificing style.

Now that you have the tools to layer your bedding like a pro, it's time to embrace the cool and cozy vibes of summer. With all of our bedding essentials, you can create a dreamy sanctuary to sleep soundly, even on the hottest nights. So, go ahead and dive into a season of breezy relaxation and blissful slumber. Happy layering!
