Between Jack Nekhala and Michael Nusinkis, there’s over a decade of experience in the textile industry—and even more years of friendship and shared determination. Over the years, they’ve seen countless fads and gimmicks come and go. But one problem remained unsolved, one that frustrated people everywhere: fitted sheets that just won’t stay on the bed.

In 2015, that frustration hit home. Jack had brought back what he knew was a high-quality sheet set for himself and his wife. But no matter how much he tugged or adjusted, the fitted sheet would pop off the mattress in the middle of the night. After trying multiple so-called solutions—each more frustrating than the last—Jack had had enough.

He turned to Amazon and bought a top-rated sheet holder, only to find that it required lifting the mattress four times—once for each corner. Heavy, awkward, and impractical. That was the moment he knew: there had to be a better way.

“Desperation is the key to creation,” Jack says. And it was in that moment of desperation that inspiration struck.

Sitting in traffic one morning, Jack had his lightbulb moment: What if there was a way to wrap a sheet around the entire bed with a 360-degree grip, like a drawstring?

That same day, he called his longtime friend and business partner, Michael Nusinkis. Jack and Mike had built together before—and they both knew they were on to something that could change the way people sleep.

From that moment on, the two worked side-by-side, experimenting, prototyping, and pouring everything into this idea. Jack refinanced his home, and together they raised over $200,000 to bring the concept to life. Jack flew to China four times, working directly with manufacturers to perfect the design.

In 2019—after four relentless years of development—the Bed Scrunchie was born.

“This has been the toughest yet most rewarding journey of my life,” Jack says.

“I didn’t allow anything to stop me from reaching my dream.”

At the time of launch, Jack’s daughter was three years old. She grew up right alongside the company and continues to be a light that fuels the mission.

Mike, too, built this journey as a father and family man. A few years later, his daughter Kayla came into the world—and soon became part of the Bed Scrunchie story in her own way.

At home, the Nusinkis family found creative new uses for the product. Beyond the bed, they began using Bed Scrunchie to secure blankets on their couch cushions—protecting them from spills, playtime messes, and the everyday whirlwind of toddler life. As Kayla grew, she started helping mom and dad attach the Bed Scrunchie to the sheets, giggling as she prepared to do what she loves most: jump on the bed. No matter how wild the jumping gets, the Bed Scrunchie never budges.

And if you ask Kayla, she’s already a star in the Bed Scrunchie legacy. She watches the commercial on repeat and has memorized every word. Sometimes she proudly announces, “I’m Mike!” or “I’m Jack—and we invented the Bed Scrunchie!”

What began as a personal frustration turned into a patented solution trusted by families all over the world. The Bed Scrunchie isn’t just a product—it’s a mission: to bring lasting comfort, real convenience, and peace of mind into homes everywhere.

Built by two friends, fueled by family, and perfected through grit, Bed Scrunchie is the result of never giving up, thinking differently, and believing that sometimes the best ideas come from everyday problems.
