The Linen Duvet Cover
Parachute's linen is garment-washed in Portugal and soft the day it arrives — $290. Quince's European linen cover is $134 — and that's the cover only; the set with shams is $154, still nearly half. Quince's linen needs a few washes to reach Parachute's out-of-the-box softness.

- Colors and returns: Quince offers more colors and a 365-day return window against Parachute's shorter returns — and owners rate the Quince cover 4.7 stars across ~9,650 reviews.
