Necessity Is the Mother of Invention.

Between Jack Nekhala and Michael Nusinkis, they have over a decade of experience in the textile industry. Jack and Michael, have seen many fads and gimmicks come and go. Regardless of them all, none of these have ever provided a real solution to the dreaded “fitted sheet” problem. Like you—and so many others—no matter what they tried, they could not get the fitted sheet to stay on the bed.

All of this came to fruition in early September 2015. As an expert in the trade Jack  Nekhala, an owner of Luxor Linens.com, brought home what he knew was a high-quality sheet set for he and his wife. Despite the high quality of this sheet set, Jack was frustrated to find that no amount of pulling or adjusting could prevent the fitted sheet from popping off the mattress in the middle of the night.

So, Jack did what millions of us do every day. He turned to Amazon and purchased a product that had several reviews which promised that it solved the “fitted sheet problem.” A few days later, when the item arrived, Jack was further irritated when he discovered that this “solution” required him to lift his heavy mattress four times. Once for each corner! Jack is a big man, but this was not even a one-man job for him. Angry and dissatisfied, Jack tossed the product aside and marked it up as another waste of his money.
