Sports-Inspired Sheets

These Sheex Bed Sheets are Made from Pro-Athlete Fabrics

— March 31, 2011 — Art & Design
Summer is just around the corner and for those of you dreading those hot, sweaty nights, these Sheex bed sheets may be your perfect solution. Although they won't cool you down (you'll have to splurge on a good air conditioner for that), they are inspired by sportswear technology for breathable and stretchy performance, which would help with ventilation and temperature control.

A unique bedroom innovation, these Sheex bed sheets factor for tossing and turning while sleeping, and also for those intimate encounters with one's bed partner. Made out of pro-quality athletic fabrics, they were designed by Susan Walvius and Michelle Marciniak, two former women's basketball coaches.

Priced between $200 and $220, these Sheex bed sheets are available in a slew of colors and sizes.
