Jax Sheets’ no-wash bamboo and copper bedding defied *Shark Tank* skeptics
Entrepreneur Wen Muenyi once pitched his innovative bedding brand, Jax Sheets, on Shark Tank in hopes of securing investment. The sheets, made from bamboo and copper, claim to stay fresh for over a year without washing. Despite an impressive Kickstarter campaign, the Sharks turned him down over concerns about costs and sales figures.
Wen Muenyi founded Jax Sheets after noticing a surprising fact: the average single man washes his bedsheets only once every three months. Tests suggested this made them far dirtier than a toilet seat. His solution was a unique blend of bamboo and copper, designed to eliminate odour and bacteria. The sheets promised to stay crisp and fresh for more than a year without washing.
Jax Sheets continues to market its long-lasting bedding, though the company has shifted focus to a wider range of products. The brand’s expansion into travel-friendly clothing and specialised linens shows its move beyond the original pitch. Without a Shark Tank deal, Muenyi’s business now relies on direct sales and its growing product line.
