158: Shyla Smith, Founder of Muslin Comfort, Using Ancient Fabrics For New Advancements In Temperature Regulation in Bedding (Affordably!)

Introducing Shyla Smith, the visionary founder of Muslin Comfort, a Central California-based, family-owned, and operated B2C company that has become a true e-commerce "unicorn." Shyla, an attorney by profession, embarked on a remarkable journey, leading her business to unprecedented success, with sales soaring from $162K in 2019 to an impressive $14.5 million in 2022. The inception of Muslin Comfort can be traced back to May 2018 when Shyla (a successful lawyer turned entrepreneur), a new mom battling postpartum night sweats, invented the groundbreaking 365 Blanket. This temperature-regulating and 100% muslin cotton blanket became the flagship product of Muslin Comfort, bringing the secret to better sleep to countless individuals. In 2020, Shyla faced new challenges with a Lyme Disease diagnosis, leading to the development of Muslin Comfort's breathable resort wear line. Her dedication to creating soft, breathable, oversized, all-natural comforters stemmed from a personal need, and the world is grateful for her innovation. Beyond her role as an entrepreneur, Shyla is a devoted boy mom who finds joy in animals, gardening, decorating, and instilling the values of hard work in her sons. Her journey to better sleep began with a personal struggle, and through Muslin Comfort, she has transformed that experience into a mission to help others enjoy a restful night's sleep.

When I went through my own challenging period of insomnia while traveling internationally, I felt like there was nowhere to turn. After obsessively learning all that I could about chronobiology and circadian rhythms — what I learned changed my life and I’m committed to sharing what I've learned (and continue to learn!). .
