INTERVIEW WITH QUICKZIP

This post may contain affiliate links which help support our blog efforts.

The struggle is real for the moms-to-be! Mom-to-be, you won't yet know the pain of changing a crib sheet, and you certainly won't know the struggle of changing a crib sheet in the middle of the night when you're half asleep. So take it from at least one mom who knows the pain all too well and be sure to ask your mommy friends, I know they'll back me up.

My newborn son suffered from gastro reflux and spit up ALL THE TIME. In turn, I suffered from constantly having to change his onesie and his crib bedding. The QuickZip sheet system makes changing the sheets easy without having to  lift up the mattress in order to get the sheet around it. The top surface area simply zips off and zips on, allowing for quick changes without all the hassle. Moms-to-be, if you haven't added these to your registry, I suggest you do it now!

For all those moms changing a regular twin or bunkbeds, this product will also ease your pain! QuickZip also accommodates for full, queen, and king sized beds and come in many simple and sweet patterns to work with any room style!

Q&A WITH ELIZABETH SOPHER, CEO OF QUICKZIP
'making motherhood a snap, one zipper at a time'

Q: WHERE WERE YOU AND WHAT WERE YOU DOING WHEN YOU DECIDED TO CREATE QUICKZIP?

A: I began developing the QuickZip Crib Sheet not longer after my first child was born. My wheels started turning after one-too-many wresting matches with the crib mattress - trying to lug the mattress up and over the slats, and get all 4 corners to stay on at the same time - usually done with the added stress of a baby crying and screaming, likely in the middle of the night. At the time, I was working as a full-time geochemist in the environmental industry, visiting hazardous waste sites and doing infill redevelopment cleanup projects and related communications work.

Q: WHAT IS THE QUICKZIP SHEET SYSTEM? HOW DOES IT WORK?

A: QuickZip is a 2-piece fitted sheet with a base that stays on the mattress and a sheet that zips off and on in seconds! 

Simply zip on and off for struggle free bedding.

Top sheet zips off. Mix and match top sheet atyles with any base sheet.

We designed two styles of bases: one for the crib that wraps all the way around the mattress so that the sheet cannot pop off and become loose in the crib, and another that is a fitted sheet style that opens on the bottom with strategically fitted and placed elastic so that it also cannot pop off the mattress.

Q: BESIDES CONVENIENCE, WHAT ARE SOME OTHER REASONS WHY MOMS WILL LOVE THE QUICKZIP SYSTEM?

A: Right now, the QuickZip design is the only sheet designed for bunk beds, daybeds, lofts, adjustable beds, RVs, heavy mattresses, and extra deep mattresses that may have hard to reach corners. It's easy to fold, store, and clean, thus creating more comfort for moms in addition to the convenience. It's also safer for babies since the zipped design ensure sheets not bunching up or popping off. The zip-ons are all interchangeable and can be easily mixed and match for a new look! We also have a Luxe Collection that is made of extra soft 400 thread-count sateen cotton.

Styles and colors that work for any room.

Q: WHAT'S YOUR OWN PERSONAL KIDS DESIGN STYLE?

A: Practical! With lots of books. I didn't have a lot of time or money to decorate, so we went with a pretty basic room and spend a lot of time together in the outdoors.

---

Q: DO YOU HAVE A SOCIAL MEDIA STYLE CRUSH AND/OR FAVORITE BLOG?

A: I love Apartment Therapy!

---

Q: Who is your go-to home furnishing or decor brand when looking for pieces for kids space?

A: Room and Board and IKEA, mostly.

---

Q: AS A MOM WHO IS WORKING AND RAISING CHILDREN - HOW DO YOU FIND BALANCE IN THE TIME YOU SPEND AT WORK AND AT HOME? ARE THEY ONE IN THE SAME?

A: I have always worked since my kids were born, and I learned quickly that it wasn't possible to be with kids and work at the same time. So my husband and I share parenting duties in our house - I have been the early morning shift and my husband the later afternoon shift because of the nature of our businesses (he also started a business developing workout programs and owns several fitness studios). We've used sitters and worked around school schedules. I take time to be with my family and friends (and walk the dog and exercise!). I find that those moments also allow my mind to relax to a point where I am creative and able to solve challenges, both at home and at work!

Q: WHAT'S NEXT FOR QUICKZIP IN 2017?

A: I'm rolling out with a Limited Edition Art Crib Sheet that's going to be part of the Canvas Collection as well as other innovative bedding redos! Baby List is joining our list of vendors, so be on the look out for QuickZip products there. Last but not least - we're hoping to be on Shark Tank! We just pitched at their open casting call and we're super excited!

Quicker, safer, easier change of sheets
