Sportsheets Marks Guests invited to party where they signed a two-decade-long timeline of
milestones in the novelty company’s history
Sportsheets employees celebrated the company's two decades of business with friends and colleagues
at the International Lingerie Show. With two booths and a special showcase event to kick off the show
on April 7, the Sportsheets team was poised and ready for the flow of inquiries, orders and accolades
that came their way each day.
Sportsheets invited industry supporters to the Sportsheets Showcase: 20 Years of Being Ahead of
the Curve event where team members were equipped with the manufacturer’s best-selling floggers,
restraints and strap-on harnesses. Sportsheets CEO and founder Tom Stewart, President Julie Stewart
and Customer Product Specialist Emily Silva hosted product demonstration stations while others
handed out free gifts and gourmet cupcakes.
“It was amazing seeing more than 75 excited people lined up waiting for us to open the doors to the
event,” Tom Stewart said. “Even more reaffirming was having 350 industry veterans, colleagues and
peers visit our ‘House of Sportsheets’ throughout the evening.”
In celebration of 20 years of success, Sportsheets created a dynamic anniversary timeline
showcasing the milestones made during the last two decades of business achievement in a fun,
tongue-and-cheek style.
“It was such a pleasure to celebrate our 20th anniversary with our customers, friends and
colleagues and see how excited everyone was to get strapped into our interactive product demos,” Julie
Stewart said. “Our company history timeline was a huge hit and the best part was seeing everyone’s
eyes go wide when they realized where the Sportsheets brand name came from—the Sportsheet
Bondage Bed Sheet!”
”It’s a real trip to look back on the last two
"It's a real trip to look back on the last two decades and appreciate the major breakthroughs that
decades and appreciate the major breakthroughs
this industry—and especially our country—have made when it comes to the social acceptance of sex,"
Tom Stewart said. "It's an honor to have helped play a role in this significant evolution and we hope our
friends and colleagues enjoy the unique way we mapped it out on our 20-year timeline."
On the show floor product specialists handled a steady flow of foot traffic and wrote record orders for
its award-winning Sex & Mischief and Sportsheets Premium collections. The manufacturer recently
created a new look for its product packaging, which was highlighted with three booths and eye-
catching displays.
“We’d like to personally thank all of our friends and supporters who’ve helped us reach this 20-year
milestone,” Tom Stewart said. “We had a wonderful turnout and look forward to continuing the
celebration all year long.”
Sportsheets also had a new catalog at the booth, featuring full-color photography and product
updates for the Sportsheets Premium and Sex & Mischief collections.
With more than 100 products, Sportsheets has expanded its range to include updated sexual
positioning tools, restraints and all-in-one couples kits for those interested in BDSM play. One stand-
out item is the new Expandable Spreader Bar, a lightweight aluminum bar featuring nickel-free metal
D-rings with a spring-locking expander for safe and easy assembly.
"It's an exciting time of year with some of our latest and most
popular products taking center stage in our new artful catalog, which
beautifully represents the sophisticated and affordable luxury
Sportsheets is known for," Julie Stewart said. "Our new catalog
especially highlights the stylish Sportsheets Premium packaging we
recently debuted with gold foil accents, tasteful photography and
original erotica on each box. Our customers can clearly see the pride
we've taken to commemorate and celebrate the memorable and
noteworthy events that have helped make Sportsheets the success it is
today!"
