Sheex, Inc. is a woman-owned business founded by Susan Walvius and Michelle Marciniak, two former women's basketball coaches at the University of South Carolina.

Susan Walvius graduated from Virginia Tech in 1986 and went on to coach Division I women's college basketball for 21 years. She was an assistant coach at Bradley University and the University of Rhode Island before being hired as the youngest Division I head coach in the nation at Virginia Commonwealth University. Susan was the head coach at West Virginia University before finishing her career at the University of South Carolina, where she was head coach from 1997-2008 and was the 2002 Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year.

"Five years ago, I wouldn't have thought of putting our athletes in anything but cotton. But today, elite athletes wear only the latest performance fabrics because of the fabrics' breathability and softness, as well as their moisture and temperature control. It makes perfect sense to introduce the finest of these fabrics to bedding."

Michelle Marciniak graduated from the University of Tennessee after being named Final Four MVP as a member of the Lady Vols' 1996 National Championship team. Michelle played in the WNBA for the Portland Fire and Seattle Storm, was an 11-year veteran of USA Basketball and was an assistant coach for the USC women's basketball team from 2003-2008.

"I'm a fitness fanatic. I fell in love with the latest technology in athletic wear several years ago and wouldn't think about wearing cotton on a run today. I've tried all the latest fabrics, and the fabric we have chosen for Sheex is the top of the line. Now that we have incorporated the fabric into our luxurious bed sheets, I wouldn't want anything else on my bed."
