Toesty Sheets is Getting Ready to Launch With New Inventory–and You All Made It Possible!

After five long years of hard work and research, Toesty Sheets is officially ready to take its next step forward with a brand-new inventory! An upcoming launch with new sizes and colors is just around the corner.

Let’s dive in and explore what has made this exciting new launch possible!

Early Designs and Funding

The early years of running a business are always confusing, especially when you throw a global pandemic into the mix. When I first launched Toesty Sheets, I knew that it would take time and a lot of hard work—and I was right!

To bring Toesty Sheets to life, I bootstrapped the initial $50,000 on the first run to sell the first 1,000 units, and I took every cent that I made and put it back into the fund to support the next run. To this day, I haven’t taken a dime of the money earned from Toesty Sheets, and I am glad!

As the proud owner of this startup, I have given Toesty Sheets my all. From designing and redesigning to make the perfect sheet to putting in what feels like about a million hours of work to bring it to life while learning from my mistakes–knowing our sheets can change lives has kept me striving to support this business.

Now, we are ready to bring a whole new line of incredible sheets to keep you cozy in your beds. Toesty Sheets began as a dream, and we are once again ready to help you enjoy a great night’s rest and plenty of good dreams too!

A New Toesty Sheets Inventory is Coming—Here’s What You Can Expect

After countless hours of work to make the perfect designs for Toesty Sheets, we are officially ready to launch with a whole new set of exciting options. We are including four new sizes and two new color options in this next round.

For sizes, we are expanding our line to include Split King for those over 50, Queen RV Short for the RV community, XL Twin for college students, and CA King for those who just want a little something special.

Our designs will also be available in two new colors—blue and grey!

What Makes Our New Inventory Possible?

Our inventory is coming to life thanks to a series of funding opportunities that we are so thankful for. First, you all helped us prepare for this launch by helping Toesty Sheets to raise $10,000 on Kickstarter, and we could not be more grateful.

Next, we received a grant for $20,000 from SeCter to support our new inventory, bringing us to a total of $30,000 to support this new line—but it didn’t stop there.

This week, we learned that Toesty Sheets has also been selected to receive another $10,000 grant to support us even more!

Prepare to Keep Your Toes Toesty!

Words cannot describe how incredible it feels to see so much funding coming in after working so hard to launch Toesty Sheets with my own investments. It is truly amazing to see the love and support our sheets are bringing, and I can’t wait to see where this startup goes next.

One thing is for sure—we will be keeping your toes free, comfortable, and Toesty.

Thank you to everyone for the love and support you have shown our growing brand. We are so grateful for our friends, family, customers, and mentors. You all have made Toesty Sheets possible, and we can’t wait to share our new lines!

Success in Building a Great Product – Behind the Scenes with Entrepreneur Michele Wytas

Success in Building a Great Product – Behind the Scenes with Entrepreneur Michele Wytas

Life of an entrepreneur.

Now more than ever, more people are starting their own businesses. We see it every day on social media and hear about it in podcasts—but starting a business isn’t always working on your own schedule and being your own boss.

When we set out to make Toesty Sheets, we knew that our journey would be full of challenges, learning opportunities, and a lot of fun—and we were right! Let’s discuss the reality of bringing Toesty Sheets to the masses.

 

Entrepreneur Starting a Startup: Challenges and Laughs Along the Way

Running a business isn’t easy, but starting a business is a whole different game. When we started Toesty Sheets in 2018, it took two full years before we were even ready to start producing them. Between research, meetings, and business planning, it took a lot to get the ball rolling. Then, when we finally got moving, COVID-19 shut down our manufacturing!

But that’s just life, isn’t it? No matter what happens, we still have to get up and make the bed in the morning—so we did.

We built Toesty Sheets to provide organic bedding solutions that make sleeping and making the bed easier—but it turns out that this was just the start. Creating a startup means wearing a lot of different hats. Some of them we look great in, and some of them are simply not our style. We laughed off the confusion, learning curves, and mistakes and kept moving!

In-House Branding: We’re Not All Experts—But We Have Fun

A large part of building a company revolves around branding, especially in the social media age. To create our Toesty Sheets ads, images, and branding, we had to get a little creative. Fortunately, Toesty Sheets was started by a designer!

Currently, our Toesty Sheets content for social media is all being shot in the bedrooms of different friends. We don’t have studios to work with or any major workspace to work in, so we make do with what we have and have fun doing it. Now, we all get to laugh knowing that our bedrooms are more internet famous than we will ever be!

Sharing Our Message

Some days, running a business will make you feel like you are trapped on a rollercoaster and you just want to get off—but then the universe rewards you for it. We’re using options like live events on Market, free social media accounts, and working with partners, like HarvestHosts, to share our sheets with as many people as we can. Of course, nothing feels better than seeing happy customers posting about us online!

Customer Support Makes it Worth It

It doesn’t matter how bad of a day you have as a business owner, one positive comment from a customer can turn it all around. When people tell us that they love how easy and comfortable our sheets are, we love to hear it.

When they tell us we solved a problem for them, made their lives easier, or saved a marriage between two people who both love to hoard the covers—we feel even better. Every message from our customers helps us to remember why we put in the work every day. We are committed to making great sheets, but you all really make it worth it in the end.

Thank You for Choosing Toesty Sheets!

Toesty Sheets started as an idea and has grown into a patent, partnerships, and loads of happy customers. We are so grateful for our journey—the good, the bad, the ugly, and the really ugly too—because of the amazing people who make it all possible.

“We have so many people to be thankful for and so many people to thank,” says Toesty Sheets CEO Michele Wytas. “I am so grateful to have the support of friends who go out of their way to help with everything I need, a family that deals with my personal brand of crazy and always lifts me up, and the support of my mentors, like Small Business of CT, who help me to learn, grow, and rise to each new business challenge. It takes a village—and Toesty Sheets is surrounded by love and helping hands!”

Going forward, our team will continue to provide exceptional semi-fitted top sheets that simplify your morning routine and keep your toes nice and Toesty in the days to come. Thank you for being a part of our journey!

Tucking Into Her Entrepreneurial Journey

Making bed-making easier with no tuck sheets!
Written by: Nan Price, Uncommon Content

Entrepreneur Michele Wytas shares about transitioning her idea into a reality and launching her business, Toesty Sheets, an innovative semi-fitted top sheet that stays in place and doesn’t require any tucking.

“I’ve made plenty of mistakes but part of business is learning from them—and knowing that if this doesn’t work, I’ll come up with something else. The key is learning these skills and lessons to keep the business growing.“

Michele Wytas

Give us a little background. Have you always been entrepreneurial?

This is my second business. I’m also a freelance designer. My background is in digital design and animation, so the things I’ve created get shown and then kind of disappear. I always thought I’d like to design something more tangible.

How did you come up with the concept for Toesty Sheets?

The idea came to me one weekend when I was staying in my summer home. I accidentally brought two fitted sheets—and I like having a top sheet. I ended up hooking the bottom of the fitted sheet and pulling it up like a top sheet. My makeshift top sheet stayed put all night.

At the time, my kids were younger and they would typically lose their top sheets every night, even after I’d tucked them in. After that night in the summer home, I thought it would be great to create a top sheet like this that could stay in place.

How did you discover additional niches?

When my father ended up in a convalescent home, I noticed he had a hard time getting comfortable in bed. He couldn’t sit up well and his sheets were constantly getting untucked or tangled. I realized the elderly were another viable market—and it could be a useful product for others too.

Toesty Sheets are well-suited for those who dislike making the bed for themselves or their family, those who are bedridden, or those with mobility limitations that make it challenging to lift a mattress and tuck sheets in place.

When did you launch the business?

I started in 2018. I came up with the sheet design and then I spent two years doing research to make sure the idea was viable, getting a business plan together, securing a patent, making samples and tech packs, and then finding a manufacturer. With my background, I designed everything from the logo to the website.

Did you utilize any local business resources?

I accessed SCORE and the Connecticut Small Business Development Center (CTSBDC). The mentors at the CTSBDC helped me register the business and perform market research to examine trends and ensure my product will be viable. The CTSBDC also connected me wherever they could along the way. They’re a useful resource. Without them I would’ve been lost.

How did you start manufacturing the product?

I had started making the tech packs and samples. I knew I needed to find a manufacturer, which was challenging because I don’t know anything about the manufacturing industry. I’ve never made anything like this before. And it’s risky because you’re sending thousands of dollars to a manufacturer and hoping they make your product the way you intended.

Originally, I wanted the manufacturing to be done in the United States, but I ended up choosing a fantastic company in India. They grow all their cotton there and they do beautiful work. They’ve been helpful in walking me through the manufacturing process and answering all my questions.

What other challenges have you encountered?

When the pandemic hit, manufacturing was halted, so that slowed production. My next challenge has been marketing and getting people to see the product and become familiar with it. It’s not that easy, but once people see the sheets and understand the concept they love it.

I’ve brought Toesty Sheets to farmer’s markets and some bigger shows and spent time listening to my audience, so I’ve gotten to know my demographic. It’s been a long learning process but now the business is slowly growing.

Any lessons or advice for others?

Tom Hanks said, “If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it.” I agree. It is hard but I know in my heart I’ve created a great product.

The other thing about entrepreneurship is, you have your ups and downs. There are days you want to give up and then you have highs like this, where someone asks to interview you. Or you get a sale or a customer writes some positive feedback. Those highs give you that push for the next thing.

What’s next?

With manufacturing, you’re required to manufacture a certain amount. Because I bootstrapped everything myself, we had to choose one color and one size. Now I’d like to start another run. I’ll probably launch a Kickstarter for that, so we can offer new colors and different sizes.

I have a goal I’d like to reach in mind. I also set a timestamp of five years to see where this business goes. If it doesn’t succeed like I want it to, then at least I know I tried. Because the worst thing I could do is not create the product and then see it somewhere else later or say, “What if?” I’m not a “what if?” person. I’m someone who’s going to try.

I’ve made plenty of mistakes but part of business is learning from them—and knowing that if this doesn’t work, I’ll come up with something else. The key is learning these skills and lessons to keep the business growing.
The Toesty Sheets Difference with Semi-Fitted Top Sheets That Stay Tucked In

The Toesty Sheets Difference with Semi-Fitted Top Sheets That Stay Tucked In

The Toesty Sheets Difference with Semi-Fitted Top Sheets that Stay Tucked in.

Most of us have a love-hate relationship with our top sheet. It is great for keeping us at the right temperature and can expand the lifespan of our comforters, but it’s no secret that top sheets can bring a lot of frustration to your morning routine. Many people blame the top sheets themselves, but at Toesty Sheets, we blame the design. Let’s take a look at how Toesty Sheets bring you the benefits of a good top sheet with none of the drawbacks!

Why You Think You Dislike Top Sheets

The list of grievances against top sheets is long—and we have to admit that the standard top sheet does come with some significant problems. People boycott top sheets because they are a nightmare to adjust, leaving you wrestling with them just to make the bed. Worse, they can leave you feeling strapped to the bottom of your bed if they are tucked in too tight—or make you feel like the top sheet is trying to trap you when it ends up wrapped around your feet.

It is important to remember that this is only one side of the experience. Top sheets play a vital role in the bed, believe it or not. They provide thermal regulation (warmer in winter and cooler in summer), protect comforters, and provide a smoother feeling in the bed. This is why we set out to help you get the most out of the good attributes while leaving some of the pains associated with top sheets behind.

The Toesty Sheets Difference

At Toesty Sheets, we have redefined the top sheet. Our semi-fitted top sheets are designed to fit onto the bottom of your mattress with ease, keeping them securely in place with no additional work. This means that they won’t get bunched up while you sleep, won’t take additional effort to make the bed, and won’t force you to constantly lift your mattress to get everything in place. Our sheets stay in place, saving you all of the work while letting you enjoy your top sheet in peace!

People Who Benefit from Toesty Sheets

We believe that every bed can be improved with our semi-fitted top sheets, but some people can gain a little more than the rest. Toesty Sheets top sheets are perfect for those who can benefit from a simplified morning and night routine.

Seniors
Let’s face it—most top sheets are not senior-friendly at all. The standard top sheet is a logistical nightmare for anyone with mobility issues. They are known to wrap around you while you sleep, tangling you up in them. Seniors constantly worry about the extra fabric draped around their beds with top sheets because it can create a significant fall risk.

Our sheets are designed to stay in place, making them much easier to get in and out of without risk of falling. Even better, since they stay in place, you don’t have to worry about repeatedly moving a heavy mattress to tuck in those pesky corners. Most sheets require a lot of movement and effort to get them into the right place. We simplified the process so you can save time and energy. Our sheets are particularly helpful with beds against the wall or beds with footboards!

College Students
College students are busy people, and they are also generally living in a small, shared space. The low-effort design of Toesty Sheets top sheets makes it easy for college students to make their beds without having to cross into the other half of a dorm room. They even work for bunk beds!

 

RV Owners
RV owners know the struggle of making a bed in a cramped space, leading many to skip the hassle of the top sheet entirely. Fortunately, with our sheets, you can enjoy a simplified bed-making process and the luxuries of traveling with a good top sheet to improve your time on the road.
People Who Don’t Want to Fight Their Top Sheets Anymore!
You don’t need to be anyone in particular to just plain hate wrestling with the top sheet in the morning or feeling it crushing your toes at night. Our top sheets are made for kids, seniors, those with mobility issues, those who want to simplify their morning routine, and people who are just tired of battling with their top sheets each morning. If you have ever scowled at your top sheet, Toesty Sheets is here to make it all better.

Say Goodbye to Your Boring Old Top Sheet with Toesty Sheets

At Toesty Sheets, we believe that the bed should be a source of comfort, not stress. Our organic sheets have elastic at the bottom to keep them in place, all while offering plenty of room for you to move freely in bed. Toesty Sheets stay firmly in place, keeping the covers in place so you can stay comfy and Toesty all night long!

Sleeping in an RV: Change Camping into Glamping – What You Need To Know About RV Bedding

Snoozing in an RV can be cozy and fun or an absolute nightmare—find out how to make sleeping in an RV a pleasant experience.

An RV can act as a home away from home on the road, but it does come with some unique challenges. When you are sleeping in an RV, you have quite a few decisions to make—and your decisions can lead to a great experience or a truly terrible one. In this article, we will explore how you can improve bedtime in your RV. 

Glamping Challenges Every RV Traveler Deals With

  • Sleeping in an RV can be a really frustrating experience if you make the wrong choices. Countless RV owners have hit the road just to find out that their bed situation is downright terrible.  

    Living in such a small space, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that it is really easy to make a mess—and you’ll learn very quickly that limited space does not make for a comfortable bed-making process. Trying to put sheets for bunk beds on in these tight spaces is rough, after all.

    Choosing to skip the bed and opt for a sleeping bag can be tempting, but it is also not the best decision because it adds unnecessary wear and tear to your sleeping bag and sleeping bags are fairly difficult to clean. 

 

How to Improve Your RV Glamping Experience

Everyone has little things that they do and don’t like about the RV experience. The ability to travel anywhere? Yes, please! Struggling to make your bed in tight spaces? No, thank you! Some chores in RVs can leave you wondering if you should have just stayed home—but it doesn’t have to be that way.

The One Bedding Choice that Will Change Camping into Glamping

During childhood, most of us learn that making the bed can be a total pain in the…well, you know. It isn’t exactly everyone’s favorite chore, but in an RV, making the bed can turn into a mental and physical battle that will make you want to just give up and go home. At least, this is true if you don’t know the peace and serenity that semi-fitted top sheets for RVs can bring. To support you, we offer practical, no-nonsense sheets that allow you to have less chores and more adventures! 

At Toesty Sheets, we are like-minded people who love heading outdoors on adventures with family and friends. We love where we live—even on the road! This is why we make no-tuck top sheets that are designed to turn making your bed into a process that you can actually enjoy. Our organic top sheets stay fitted at the bottom, making it so all you have to do is smooth them out in the morning with one simple tug and pull your blanket nice and tight. To support natural spaces, we even offer organic, plastic-free solutions with recyclable packaging. 

Our sheets are easy to wash (way easier than a sleeping bag) and perfect for making the bed in tight spaces. With our simple slip-on design, all you have to do is put the sheet on once and enjoy countless nights of comfort and rest with no fear that your sheets will get tangled up or leave you pinned to a tiny RV bed. Take the gymnastics out of making the bed, and enjoy easy and comfortable sleep while you are on the road by choosing the right sheets.

Yes, Your Bed Needs a Top Sheet—Here’s Why

Yes, Your Bed Needs a Top Sheet—Here’s Why

Yes, Your Bed Needs a Top Sheet—Here’s Why

For ages, the masses have debated the relevancy of the top sheet and its role in bed making. Top sheet vs no top sheet is a discussion that comes with quite a few opinions. Some people love their top sheets and consider them a valued member of their linens collection. Others are against the top sheet because they can wind themselves up while you sleep, complicating the bed-making process. In this article, we are going to explore the true benefits a modern top sheet can bring—and why your bed deserves one.

They Improve Your Aesthetic

  • There are few things better than climbing into a well-made bed after a long day, but it is even better when the bed looks nice too. Top sheets have been used as a valuable decor feature for some time, offering that perfect splash of color when you fold over your comforter. A folded top sheet is the perfect finish to any bedding.

 

They Provide Excellent Temperature Control

People often find themselves with different temperature needs at night. These needs can be dictated by the temperature that you keep your home at, the temperature that you are personally comfortable at, and even the weather outside. Trying to chase these changes with your heater or air conditioner can really drive up your energy bill, and nobody wants that. Fortunately, your top sheet is here to save the day.

The colder months can really drop the temperature of your home, and not everyone wants to have the heat running all night long. A top sheet can provide an added layer of insulation and keep you comfortable at night, even when it is chilly outside.

 During those warmer months, your comforter might just be a bit much. Having a top sheet can allow you to stay covered and protected with a light layer when it is warmer at night. It is a great way to enjoy the comfort of a comforter without all of that extra insulation. 

They Protect Your Comforter

One of the most important roles of a top sheet is the protection of your duvet or comforter. When you use a top sheet, you are placing a clean layer between you and your comforter. This means that you can keep your comforter nice and clean for significantly longer.

You might think that your comforter is big and strong, but the truth is that comforters and duvets are actually vulnerable. They often require a very specific cleaning process, and overwashing can cause quite a bit of damage—or lead to costly bills. Your top sheet can be washed as often as you like, all while protecting your comforter. Trust us, your comforter will appreciate the additional support. 

A good top sheet isn’t just good for comforter protection either. Top sheets can improve your relationship with your comforter too. It is much easier to clean sheets than your comforter, so the right sheet set can make your household chores quick and easy—and who doesn’t love that?

 

The Top Sheet Has Been Reinvented

The biggest complaint about top sheets is always that they add more work when you make the bed. Traditional top sheets can get tangled and pushed to the bottom of the bed—and that’s why we reinvented them. We knew that top sheets were good, but we also knew that they could be great.

Our no-tuck top sheet is organic and made to support healthy living and better habits. Designed to stay in place all night long, making your bed is as easy as ever. With our remade Toesty Sheets, you can get all of the benefits with none of the setbacks. Our sheets are fitted at the bottom and nice and loose at the top, keeping you comfortable while also keeping your top sheet under control. It’s time to bring the top sheet back into your life (or upgrade it at the very least).

How to Wash Cotton Sheets for Less Wrinkles

How to Wash Cotton Sheets for Less Wrinkles

by | Mar 5, 2022 | Organic sheets

Learning to wash organic sheets 

Learning to wash cotton sheets is easy. Besides, there is nothing like layering yourself in the coolness of freshly laundered 100 percent organic percale. Whether a chilly evening bundled under blankets or a summer nap, a luxury bedding set separates your skin from the mattress and the blankets layered on top of you. Importantly, they help protect by applying a removable layer between you and your mattress. Body oils, lotions, dirt, and dead skin cells wash away instead of resting on your puffy sleeper.

Like anything you love, giving special attention will prolong the life of your sheets. Our luxury bed sheets will grow softer with a tad more care, ensuring you continue to enjoy them for years. Our weave count, a high 400, confirms the fabric will grow more soothing, with a little more wrinkles, but that only comes naturally with age.

While you can professionally launder our product, home care provides all the cleaning you need. Cold or warm water offers the best cotton sheet wash. Like an ice bath waking up your skin, a cold water rinse for percale makes it perfectly perky.

Before placing your set into the dryer, untangle the wet bed sheets and gently place before tumbling on low. This assists in mitigating any wrinkles which may occur while tossing in the drying drum. Furthermore, your cotton should be dried separately from other materials, as the weight can create unwanted folds.


How to wash cotton sheets for less wrinkles

  • Cold or warm water for the wash cycle.
  • Organic or baking soda-based laundry detergents without fabric softeners are best.
  • If possible, wash the semi-fitted bed sheets separately unless washing with fabrics of the same weight (never mix with colors).
  • Use half of the recommended amount of detergent. Commercial ingredients can be harsh.
  • Do not use fabric softeners, and never use chlorine bleach for whitening. They both can weaken the supple cotton fibers.
  • A cold water rinse is best.
  •  

Drying Instructions for Organic Cotton Sheets

  • Tumble dry on the permanent press or low temperature setting only.
  • Using high heat will “burn” the sheet fibers and cause them to lose their natural softness. It will also weaken the weave, leading to shorter longevity.
  • It’s even better to hang dry in the sun. (Who does that any more?)
  • Remove your luxury sheets at the end of the drying process and smooth them while folding, disappearing any small folds.
  • Don’t over dry the sheets.
  • Percale cotton wrinkles more than polyester-cotton blend. You may press your sheets using the cotton or linen setting on your iron.
  •  

Wrinkle Reduction for Percale Sheets

One hundred percent organic cotton wrinkles. It’s a fact. To make a prettier bed and craft a smoother appearance without ironing, we recommend these simple steps (Have a spray bottle filled with water or a favorite linen spray at the ready):

  • Place your fitted sheet over the bed corners. Very lightly, spritz liquid to release any creases. The water relaxes the fibers, and the stretching produces a tension, thereby pulling out any creases, casting a smooth surface.
  • Lay your flat sheet over the fitted and tuck it around the mattress as tightly as possible. Once you have a semi-smooth surface, a light dusting of liquid will release any sharp rumples.
  • Place the rest of your bedding over the sheets.

By following these easy care instructions to wash cotton sheets, they will keep you cool and comfortable for years to come.

5 Easy Life Hacks for Home

5 Easy Life Hacks for Home

Our recommended 5 easy life hacks

 

Reduce stress and save time for things you love

You’re exhausted and ready for bed. You start the dishwasher, check the coffee pot for the morning, and call it a night. As you brush your teeth, your brain goes through the list of things you did not get done at work or home today. All those small chores and tasks keep piling up on your to-do list.

What if you could find an extra five minutes several times a day? Impossible? Not with a few easy life hacks we’ve discovered that could give you up to an hour back to focus on the things that really matter the most to you. For example, how about spending more time with the people you love, cooking that incredible recipe you found, or maybe just taking a hot bath.

Life Hack #1: Prepare the night before

We’ve all had one of those mornings where we didn’t prepare the night before and are scrambling to get ready for the day. Set your day up for success by preparing the night before. Lay your clothes and bag out for the next day, do a quick meal prep, and preview your calendar. You perform all of these tasks  the night before. That way, you aren’t rushing to figure out what’s for lunch as you realize you’re late for a meeting you didn’t even know you had.

Life Hack #2: Time block your tasks for the day

Time blocking your day is extremely beneficial if you have a lot to do in a short amount of time. It also makes it easier to plan your day and take breaks. Designate time in your day for your most important tasks and put it in your calendar. Work on it for 50 to 60 minutes, take a break, and then get started on the next thing on your to-do list. Only work on one task at a time. Time blocking allows you to increase your productivity, focus, and knock another thing off of your to-do list. Also, put buffer time in your calendar to think, analyze, take a walk, or just read an interesting article.

Life Hack #3: Put your devices on do not disturb or turn notifications off

Every 15 minutes or less, you receive a text, Signal, Whatsapp, TikTok alert, email notification, chat notification, Website notices, and more. If you allow yourself to get distracted by one or all of those, you spend your entire day ping-ponging without ever finishing any one task. Alternatively, if you turn off your notifications, you focus on the task at hand. When you’re done focusing on that single task, then take 15 minutes to read and respond to all of your notifications and texts. with this easy life hack, you’ll be amazed at how much more productive you are and how much time you unnecessarily spend on your phone, devices, and content. The same practice goes for email btw. Do not let email distract you throughout the day. Pick specific times to respond to and create emails, so you focus on that one task at that time.
