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).
