Tricia found us about one year after Isaac passed away when she was setting up his memorial page and doing research on crib safety. As you will learn from the videos we posted today Isaac died at 6 months from suffocation when his traditional fitted crib sheet popped off. Since that moment, Tricia and Mark have worked to bring some good and happiness out of their grief. They made the decision to donate Isaac’s organs and provide his cord blood for research which ultimately led to a treatment for myeloid leukemia; to honor his memory and keep it alive they practice random acts of kindness each year on his birthday; and they have become tireless crusaders for crib sheet safety. Both medical professionals, they want all parents to know that safety was their top priority and they followed all the recommendations (including what they thought to be a secure fitted sheet); but it was not enough.
Over the years Tricia has been working to spread awareness - buying ads on bill boards, insisting that BabiesRUs carry safer crib sheets (resulting in QuickZip’s first orders from them), and pushing for news coverage. In the past QuickZip has helped in small ways to spread the message, providing sheets for her to distribute, sending out safety information on bookmarks and sticky pads, and committing to our safer design. But we want to do more. We are not only affected by Isaac’s story, but by the data. In 2014 (the last year on record at the CDC) there were 875 infant deaths in the US due to “accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed”, the highest rate ever. Further, a Penn State study released in 2016 indicated that in many cases parents are not following the safe sleep guidelines. (For example, while under observation, 87%-93% of the subjects had loose/unapproved items nearby [the sleeping area] and 10-21% were put down on a non-recommended [sleeping] surface).
As you see, there is still a long way to go, and we are committed to join in and move the needle on these numbers. The challenge is that when most of us think about baby safety, we think about gear - car seats, strollers, cribs, and outlet plugs, but not usually crib sheets and maybe less so about sleep safety in general. Starting right now, we will keep reminding, nagging, harping (though slightly unpopular activities) and spreading the word about sleep safety -especially crib sheet safety- until it ranks up there with the car seat.
We are honored to share this story with you. Tricia’s courage and determination inspires me and reminds me that we can make a difference. We hope it will make a difference for you.

We reinvented the fitted sheet with a two-piece design that is quick to change, easy to fold, and won't pop off. Each Fitted Sheet includes a base and a zip sheet. Extra interchangeable 'add-on' zip sheets are available separately in a variety of colors & fabrics.
Each Fitted Sheet includes two parts: 1x Fitted Sheet Base + 1x Fitted Zip Sheet (split sizes include 2x)
Discover the easiest, most comfortable fitted sheet you’ll ever own. The QuickZip Fitted Sheet zips on and off in seconds, ending the struggle of lifting heavy mattresses or wrestling with stubborn corners. Goes on ONCE like a standard fitted sheet, and then changing sheets is refreshingly simple—just zip off the top and zip on a fresh one.
Our secure base features extra-wide elastic underneath for a snug, stay-put fit that won’t pop off, even on adjustable beds. It’s thoughtfully engineered for every kind of sleeper and every kind of bed, ensuring a smooth, tailored look and feel that lasts.
Available in both common and hard-to-find sizes, QuickZip comes in a variety of premium fabrics and colors to suit your style—whether you prefer crisp percale, luxe sateen, breezy ComfortCore or cozy flannel. And when it’s time to switch things up, simply zip on a new Zip Sheet - all colors and fabric are interchangeable within the size (sold separately). One base, endless comfort and possibilities—because great sleep starts with smarter design.
