Now here's a word from our sponsors.

I've been working on getting more sleep lately and one of the things that's making it easier for me to get to bed early are my new Percal Sheets from Parachute.

Their light, crisp, cool to the touch, and made of premium 100% long staple Egyptian cotton that has been garment washed for softness,

so they'll only get better with time. They're exactly the kind of comfy home essential I needed to help me prioritize my daily self-care routine.

Parachute makes home essentials that are designed in Los Angeles and responsibly manufactured by expert crafts people around the globe,

using only the highest quality materials.

They make bedding, bath linens, a mattress, rugs, curtains, baby items, throws, pillows, robes, and all things soft and wonderful.
