QuickZip was the first bedding company to report the potential for injuries from bed sheets - check out our funny take on this subject.

We’ve surveyed our customers - and here are some examples of what we’ve heard: 

• “I tore a tendon in my finger putting a fitted sheet on my bed.”
• “..... torn ligament in finger from trying to make bed…”

• “... no more broken fingernails wrestling the sheets”

And regarding - back injuries - we have hundreds of testimonials documenting back injuries and back pain, often from lifting heavy mattresses while trying to get the fitted sheet on.

The hospitality industry has also had to address the issue of workplace injuries from changing sheets. California OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) adopted a rule to help reduce injury from repeatedly lifting heavy mattresses, which often weigh over 100 lbs, to get the sheets in place.

So to avoid exposing you to this risk, you need to avoid lifting the mattress, and zippable bedding is ideal. You can prevent injuries or health safety risks associated with changing bed sheets with Quickzip Sheets.

QuickZip Sheets zip off and on, so that once you put your sheet on the first time, you won't have to lift the mattress every time you change your sheets. That helps your back, your fingers and your stress level!

As a bonus, there is a huge bonus to having clean sheets more often. Imaging slipping into clean sheets every night, no more procrastinating and sleeping on sheets you know show have been changed.
