There are over 53 million caregivers in America—most unpaid, many overwhelmed, and nearly all trapped in outdated routines that no longer make sense.

Let’s talk about one of the most broken ones: changing a bed sheet.

It takes about 15 minutes to strip, wash, dry, and re-make a bed. But if you’re caring for someone who’s incontinent or bedridden, you might be doing it multiple times a day. That’s hours each week lost—not to care, not to comfort—but to laundry.

And we’ve accepted this as normal.

But here’s the truth: Traditional fitted sheets are a problem. They weren’t designed for caregiving. They were designed for style, not speed. For hotels, not hospitals. For sleep—not survival.

The Hidden Cost of Traditional Sheets

Every sheet change carries real risk:

• Falls and injuries when moving patients
• Infections from prolonged exposure to moisture
• Mattress damage from leaks
• And worst of all, burnout

I’ve spoken to countless caregivers who told me the same thing:

“It wasn’t the emotional part that broke me. It was the endless laundry.”

One caregiver told me she almost placed her father in a facility because she couldn’t keep up with changing and cleaning the bed. Not because she didn’t love him—but because the tools were failing her.

Peelaways Isn’t a Better Sheet.

It’s the End of the Old Way.

Peelaways are five soft, 100% waterproof layers stacked on a single fitted sheet. When one gets soiled, you peel it away. There’s a clean layer underneath.

• No laundry.
• No lifting.
• No time lost.
• And no risk of infection, falls, or mattress damage.

This is not an upgrade—it’s an elimination of a broken system.

Let’s Call This What It Is:

A Diaper Moment for Beds

We don’t use cloth diapers anymore. We made the switch because it was faster, cleaner, and more human.

Peelaways brings that same logic to the bed. It makes staying at home cleaner, easier, and more dignified—for both patients and caregivers.

If you want to support aging in place, reduce caregiver burnout, and increase patient safety, it starts with fixing the small things that turn into big problems.

Laundry shouldn’t be the reason someone ends up in a nursing home.

Let’s build a world where people can age at home—not just because they want to, but because we gave them the tools to make it possible.
