Re Bedding

Re Bedding is a result of 2 years of hard work and a whole new imagination of how bedding could be. It is composed of two parts - Base and Top Sheet. Base is a soft frame that surrounds all four sides of the mattress, as you can see the lighter grey part on the animation above. Top Sheet is a plain sheet that covers the top of the mattress and is connected to the base with a zipper. Top Sheet could be removed regularly for laundry and the only thing you need to do to remove is just to unzip it, no more lifting and walking around.

As you can see from the picture, Top Sheet and Base are connected with a zipper, thus whenever you change your bedsheets, you’ll not need to lift it up and squeeze your hands under the mattress. All you need to do is unzip your old sheet and zip a new one back on and that’s all done.

If you find words explanation a bit confusing, here's a video demo for you (subtitles on, so leave it on mute if you'd like to!)

There's also a video about the design details of Re Bedding, learn more if you're interested! (Apologies no subtitles but feel free to jump to different parts according to the Time Stamp)

Fitting close to the corners

There are triangular-shaped elastic cloth attached to all four corners of both sides of the Base to make sue it fits tight to the mattress.

Fitting mattresses of different thicknesses

When you turn the mattress over, you’ll notice that the bottom of the base uses a drawstring instead of elastic band to attach to the mattress. As there are so many different thicknesses for mattresses, even sheets of the same size with elastic band could fit completely different on different mattresses, some are fitted tight, some are fitted loose. Drawstring is not a one size thing and would not rely on elasticity, allowing everyone to fit perfectly according to their own mattress.

Another good thing is, it is more durable as it does not rely on elasticity. It’s common that elastic bands become loose with time and by then you have no choice but to change a new one. With a drawstring, even after years of washing, it’ll still fit perfectly.

A Smooth and Durable Zipper

Now you might start to wonder, okay zipper is a good idea, but there are so many zippers that would not zip well, getting stuck in the middle and stopped working after years of washing. This is why making sure we get the best zipper is one of the most important parts of Re Bedding. I spend loads of time finding a suitable zipper just to make this work. Lucky enough, I got the chance to meet a representative from YKK Japan, the world's largest and most trusted brand on zipper production. And after repeated discussions, we have chosen a type of jumbo zipper under YKK Brand. It is smoother and more durable than normal nylon zippers, works perfectly on our product. After loads of testing, we’re overjoyed by how good Re Bedding is working with high quality zippers from YKK.

Top Sheet: What texture? It's your call

I always think when you’re making a product, the most crucial part is to ace the basics then something else. What I mean by this is - now forget everything about the pros of easy zipping and changing, just treat Re Bedding as a normal bed sheet, is it a good enough bed sheet? If someone is comparing Re Bedding with some other bed sheets, does Re Bedding have better touch, texture, breathability, hypoallergenicity and so on? 

Different people have different preferences for texture and it’s hard to make one that fits all, this is why we launched different texture series for you to choose.

ULTRA FINE COLLECTION

Ultra Fine Collection used TENCEL™ fibers from Lenzing AG Austria and is famous for its natural and comfy touch. If you’re a fan of silky, fresh and slightly cool texture for bedding, this will be your go-to. The only downside is because of its fine texture, it is not suitable for tumble drying or someone who’s looking for a thicker texture. （TENCEL™ is a trademark of Lenzing AG.）

EVERYDAY COLLECTION

The Everyday Collection is made from 100% Premium Lyocell, which is a 100% plant fiber made from wood pulp. The common thing with Ultra Fine Collection is that both of them are made from wood, which means they’re very breathable, hygroscopic and have a slightly cool touch, suitable for people who can’t stand the heat especially in hot weathers. Unlike the Ultra Fine Collection, the texture would be bit more sturdy and tough and thus more durable. It can withstand washing machines and dryers and might be a good idea if you want frequent washing but also durability in the long run.

Gen. 2 Cotton Collection

The new Gen2. Cotton Collection is a new collection that combines both the softness of Ultra Fine Collection and sturdiness of Everyday Collection. It uses the newest generation of denselyt woven 100% cotton, giving a comfy and thicker texture. And thanks to the 100% cotton, it is soft, breathable, absorbent of moisture, durable and 100% safe to be in a washing machine and dryer. And all Top Sheets of Gen.2 Cotton Collection will come with two matching pillow cases. If you prefer the comfy cotton texture together with the ease of washing, this would be something for you.

If you’re new to us and have no preferences, we recommend buying one for each to know which one suits you best. If you’re still not sure about it, our Gen. 2 Cotton Collection would be the most all-rounded option that normally suits most people. All of the above collections can be used for Re Bedding.

Easy to clean

As the Top Sheet of Re Bedding is a plain flat sheet, it could be cleaned more thoroughly and dried easily.

Small pockets on both sides

There is a small add-on when designing Re Bedding, on both sides of the Base, there’s a small pocket, just located at where you could naturally touch when you lie down.

The size of the pocket is just right for small stuff like a phone, a torch, pocket tissue… just something you want to have handy right next to you.

I want to make Re Bedding something that’s personal, everyone could mix and match bases on their own style and preferences, matching Bases of different colours, different textures, even with patterns and our Cartoon Collab Collection.

Wishing we can all stay away from the pain of changing beddings again!

Your next steps...

1. N.B. This is not something for everyone

Not everyone wants to try something new and there’s nothing wrong about it. Re Bedding is completely different from any bed sheets in the market and it takes a bit time to learn and get used to. But when you get the hang of it, it just gets so easy. If you only want to stick with traditional bed sheets, this is not something for you. If you want to give it a go, I promise, when you look back, you’ll think this is the best investment you’ve made this year. 

2. Check the size of your mattress

If you want to give it a go, congratulations, because this is a right decision and not everyone has the guts to do so.

The next thing to do is to check the size of your mattress, see if the sizes available would fit:

There is a 2-3CM leeway, eg. if your mattress is 122x183CM, you can choose 120x183CM.

We don’t currently have other sizes except the above. If you wanted to try Re Bedding but there’s no suitable size available, please let use know by emailing us at support@repillow.co. We’re hoping to add more sizes to our list if possible.

3. Pick the Base and Top Sheet of the correct size

Below are Base and Top Sheet of different sizes, colours and textures for you to choose from.

The last thing to say is, cause there are specific requirements and limitations on producing Re Bedding, it’s very tricky to make this work in Hong Kong so far. Thus unlike Re Pillow which is made in Hong Kong, Re Bedding was made in Guang Dong. Although we planned to produce it in Hong Kong, if we want to keep the quality the same, the price of every sheet would add an extra of ~$100, which might turn people off, and this is not what we want as well. Of course we want to keep it to high quality (not judging the quality of Mainland), thus all material are from companies around the world, eg. material of Ultra Fine Collection is from Austria TENCEL(TM), zippers are from YKK Japan ect. We hope to provide you the best experience with the best price. This is just to clarify and avoid any misunderstandings as honesty is the foremost quality in Re Pillow Co.
