Parachute Home is a U.S.-based brand that specializes in bedding products made from natural and sustainably sourced materials. This review will take an in-depth look at the Parachute Eco Comfort Mattress.
Unlike many competing beds, the Eco Comfort Mattress does not contain any foam or latex layers. The comfort layer consists of New Zealand wool batting, followed by three layers of pocketed microcoils. The mattress also features a wool batting transitional layer and a support core of standard-size pocketed coils. The bed’s coil layers create a highly responsive feel with plenty of bounciness on the surface. Altogether, the Parachute Eco Comfort Mattress measures 12 inches thick, making it a high-profile model. It is considered firm, which rates as a 7 on the 1-10 firmness scale.
This review covers construction and material specs, current prices in every available size, and performance ratings based on owner experiences and our own product analysis. We’ll also take a closer look at product reviews for the mattress, as well as Parachute Home’s shipping, return, and warranty policies.

TEST LAB RATINGS
How the Parachute Eco Scored
Motion Isolation5.0/10
While considered a hybrid, the Parachute Eco Comfort Mattress features a coil-on-coil design that makes the surface feel as responsive and bouncy as a traditional innerspring. Additionally, the wool batting layer does not absorb movement quite like foam or latex. As a result, motion isolation for the Parachute Eco Comfort Mattress is fair at best. You may notice a fair amount of movement transferring across the surface when your partner changes positions or gets in and out of bed. Depending on how light of a sleeper you are, this can lead to more sleep disturbances during the night.
The Eco Comfort Mattress can be somewhat noisy, as well. The pocketed coils, while quieter than other coil types, may produce occasional squeaks and creaks that can be disruptive. If you and your co-sleeper are looking for a quiet mattress that isolates motion well, you may want to consider another model altogether, such as an all-foam or latex model.
Pressure Relief5.0/10
People often develop pressure points from sleeping on a mattress that does not offer enough body-contouring or support. The Parachute Eco Comfort Mattress is certainly supportive, thanks to its four coil layers and firm surface feel. However, the wool batting comfort layer does not provide the same level of contouring as foam or latex. You’ll feel some cushioning, but the wool does not hug the body or evenly distribute weight very effectively.
Those who weigh at least 130 pounds should feel less pressure on the Parachute Eco Comfort Mattress, due to its robust support system and zoned support core. This is especially true for back and stomach sleepers, who often feel added pressure on mattresses that sink too much beneath heavier areas of the body.
Side sleepers and people who weigh less than 130 pounds may not experience enough conforming or pressure relief on the mattress to sleep comfortably.
Temperature Control9.5/10
Hybrids generally offer good temperature regulation, but the Parachute Eco Comfort Mattress sleeps exceptionally cool even compared to other hybrid models. This can be attributed to its various components.
The wool batting comfort layer is quite breathable, and it also wicks away moisture to keep you dry and comfortable during the night. All four coil layers promote steady airflow, as well. This ensures a consistently cool temperature throughout the entire mattress, including the surface. Lastly, the bed’s organic cotton cover is highly breathable and it prevents the mattress from absorbing too much body heat.
The firm feel of the Eco Comfort Mattress also plays a role in temperature control. By providing strong reinforcement to keep your body on an even plane, you’ll feel more airflow on the surface of the mattress. By contrast, softer beds that sink more tend to cut off airflow, making sleepers feel excessively warm in the process.
Edge Support8.0/10
Edge support is a major strength of the Parachute Eco Comfort Mattress. Thanks to the bed’s four coil layers and firm feel, you’ll barely feel any sinkage when sitting along or lying near the perimeter. The zoned support core with thick coils on the perimeter offers some added reinforcement. This makes getting on and off the mattress fairly easy, regardless of how much you weigh. You should also feel secure sleeping near the edges without worrying about rolling off the bed.
Hybrids generally excel at edge support, since coils protect mattress edges better than foam and latex layers, and coil-on-coil models often perform even better. So it’s no surprise that the Eco Comfort Mattress outperforms many of its main competitors in this category. If you’re looking for a bed that barely sinks at all, this may be the mattress for you.
Ease of Movement8.0/10
As we’ve discussed, the Parachute Eco Comfort Mattress contains multiple coil layers that give the mattress a very responsive feel. This creates a bounce-back effect that makes moving across the bed rather easy. The surface won’t sink too much, regardless of your body type, and getting on and off the bed should be a quick and painless process.
A common complaint from owners of mattresses with foam layers is that, regardless of how firm the bed feels, the surface sinks too much beneath their weight. The wool batting found in the Parachute Eco Comfort Mattress is less susceptible to sinkage on its own. With multiple coil tiers reinforcing the comfort layer, you won’t need to worry about feeling trapped by your mattress as you move across the surface. This characteristic also makes it a great mattress for sex.
Durability8.0/10
Thanks to the Parachute’s foam-free construction, it should outlast many competing hybrid beds with an expected lifespan of around eight to nine years. The wool and microcoils in the comfort layer should be resistant to deterioration that leads uneven areas, and as with other hybrids, the coil support core will likely maintain support over time.
Who it Fits
Fit by Sleep Position and Body Weight
Sizes, dimensions and weights
Side Sleepers
For most side sleepers, the ideal mattress feels somewhat soft and contours closely to the body with extra cushioning for the shoulders and hips. This promotes even spinal alignment, which can reduce aches, pains, and pressure points that occur when the body is not properly aligned. The Parachute Eco Comfort Mattress does not offer these qualities. The surface has a firm feel and the wool batting does not conform much. As a result, side sleepers may not receive the pressure relief they need to feel comfortable in bed.
That said, side sleepers who weigh at least 130 pounds will probably find the Eco Comfort Mattress to be fairly comfortable. While they won’t experience deep conforming, the bed’s robust coil layers prevent excessive sinkage around the shoulders and hips, which is a common source of pressure for those who sleep on their sides. By contrast, those who weigh less than 130 pounds will probably find the mattress to be too firm, which can lead to waking up with aches and pains.
Back Sleepers
The Parachute Eco Comfort Mattress is very well suited to back sleepers, and this can be attributed to its sturdy design. Those who primarily use this position typically need more firmness and support than side sleepers. Back sleeping promotes spinal alignment, so cushioning is not necessarily needed. Rather, the mattress should provide enough reinforcement to keep the sleeper’s body on an even plane without sagging too much.
The Parachute Eco Comfort Mattress maintains great stability thanks to its microcoil layers, as well as a zoned support core that offers extra support to the back and hips without feeling too firm around other areas of the body. We highly recommend this model to any back sleeper who weighs 130 pounds or more. Those who weigh less than 130 pounds may find the mattress a little firm, but they won’t need to worry about sinking or sagging as they might on a less supportive mattress.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers often have a hard time finding a comfortable mattress. This position is associated with more aches and pains than side and back sleeping, as most people carry a fair amount of weight between the shoulders and hips. Sleeping face-down can cause you to sink too far into most beds, leading to added pain around the neck, shoulders, and lower back.
We’re happy to report that the Parachute Eco Comfort Mattress is an optimal choice for stomach sleepers, particularly those who weigh at least 130 pounds. The microcoil layers offer great support near the surface to prevent too much sinking. Deeper in the bed, the zoned support core features thicker coils to reinforce the mattress beneath the chest, stomach, and other areas of the body with disproportionate weight. Stomach sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds may find the mattress a bit too firm, but still very supportive all the same.

The Parachute Eco Comfort Mattress is compressed, wrapped in plastic, and vacuum-sealed for shipping. This process allows the mattress to fit inside a standard shipping container, which will be delivered directly to your doorstep. You don’t need to be at home to receive the package.
When the mattress arrives, carry the box to the bedroom where you plan to use it. The mattress weighs up to 160 pounds, so you may need assistance if you’ve ordered a larger size. Open the box, remove the plastic, and watch the mattress expand. Full shape recovery may take up to 48 hours.

After this process is complete, Parachute Home will contact you within seven to ten business days to coordinate the delivery.
Expedited ground shipping is not available with any mattress orders.
Sleep Trial
The Parachute Eco Comfort Mattress comes with a 100-night sleep trial, which differs from the 60-night sleep trial Parachute Home offers for other products. The trial does not include a mandatory break-in period, so you’ll be able to return the mattress at any point of the 100-night window and receive a full product refund. The company will also dispatch a courier to pick up the mattress from your residence.
Warranty
The Parachute Eco Comfort Mattress is backed by a 10-year warranty. The warranty is completely non-prorated. If a defect develops, Parachute Home will attempt to repair your mattress; if this is not possible, the company will replace the bed and cover all associated costs.
This warranty covers manufacturing defects in the mattress that cause materials to split, crack, or otherwise deteriorate prematurely. Other issues such as normal wear and tear, physical damage, and issues that arise from the use of an unsupportive foundation are not considered defects under this warranty.
