It all started when, in the mid 1980's, Tom saw David Letterman stick to the Velcro wall. Shortly after, Tom contacted a representative at Velcro, got some samples, and with the help of a friend, had a bed sheet made out of the material. After many attempts, Tom and his brother came up with the idea of using anchor pads and Velcro cuffs. The company began with a single product, that first Sportsheet. Since then Sportsheets has added more brands to help keep couples connected, including: Sedeux, Flirt, Sex in the Shower, Naughty Night Out, and Manbound.

Why does Sportsheets continue to concentrate on couples as compared to producing solo toys? Do the ideas for some of these truly innovative lines come from personal life, conversations with peers, consumer research or a little bit of everything? Going from a single bondage play sheet to a whole line of sex in the shower accessories, Tom has the lives of couples in their homes in mind. He says that he loves designing products, working with customers and consumers, and that coming to work every day is an exciting challenge. Not one to settle, Tom says he continually pushes Sportsheets to “Always improve.” After 20 years in the military and growing his company from a one man garage operation 16 years ago, to a company that employs 40 people today, we’re betting Tom and Sportsheets will be surprising us for many years to come.
