TOMS Shoes Founder Blake Mycoskie Showing Us Love
We are big fans of the work that Blake Mycoskie has done as founder of TOMS Shoes. Blake’s unique business model — TOMS donates a pair of shoes to needy children for every pair sold — reflects his commitment to making a positive impact in the world even as his company enjoys tremendous success.
We were honored to receive a mention in Blake’s recent book, “Start Something That Matters,” which was published last fall. Blake chose SHEEX as an example to highlight the importance of identifying and emphasizing a story — in our case, our sports backgrounds — as a way of getting in front of influencers and decision-makers. Leveraging our story has certainly been important for the growth of SHEEX, no doubt about it.
Now Blake is at it again. In a recent Wall Street Journal interview, Blake called out SHEEX as his favorite sheets, highlighting our “amazing technology” and “moisture and temperature control.”
Thanks once again to Blake for all the love he has shown us! We’ve learned along the way the importance of relationships as we’ve developed and grown our company, and we couldn’t be happier to have a terrific person like Blake in our corner.
SHEEX on GMA / Michelle TV Interview
Did you catch SHEEX featured on Good Morning America this past Monday? In a segment highlighting technology-infused sleep products, GMA’s Becky Worley called SHEEX “satiny smooth” and “super comfy.” Host Robin Roberts then revealed to the world that she’s a satisfied SHEEX owner, saying “I love them!”
GMA isn’t the only TV exposure SHEEX has gotten recently. Michelle was interviewed by Knoxville’s WATE-TV for a story on her transition from basketball star to coach to businesswoman, and how playing at the University of Tennessee for the legendary Pat Summitt has had an impact on that development.
SHEEX Media Update for Late October
We’ve had some exciting new media hits recently that we’d like to share with you.
SHEEX are featured in the November issue of Wired magazine, where they reviewed a handful of “sleep aids” designed to “deepen your slumber.” SHEEX Performance Sheets came out tied for the best-rated product in the bunch.
SHEEX were also recently reviewed on the women’s blog HerNashville.com, a site that features stories on topics such as fashion, fitness, home and travel. The reviewer reports that she found SHEEX surprisingly comfortable and equally suited for warm and cool environments.
Be on the lookout for more SHEEX coverage in the November issues of Competitor and Fairways and Greens magazines, as well as ads in Women’s Health and upcoming issues of Shape and Delta Airlines’ Sky.

- PlayGoesStrong.com, an NBC Universal property, is part of the Life Goes Strongnetwork, a premier destination for mid-lifers who are living well and still going strong.Writer David Weiss was initially skeptical of SHEEX, saying he’s continually amazed by the “plethora of overhyped schlock” out there, adding:
Knowing me for the faithless curmudgeon that I am, you can imagine how my reflexive cynicism kicked in when I got wind of a whole new lifestyle genre: Performance bed-sheets (not that kind of performance, but who knows?).
But after sleeping in SHEEX, David declared himself “a convert.”
I slept soundly, and awakened without the muscle pain that has plagued me ever since [a basketball injury two years ago]. That was far more than I expected.
