WHO’S WITH WHIT
KAREN LEVINE & PeachSkinSheets

hen I think about
traveling, I think
about the little
luxuries that make a trip unforgettable. I recently got back from France, where mornings started with fresh croissants, afternoons with champagne, and every day ended with the comfort of returning to a cozy hotel room. It’s those thoughtful moments of comfort that stay with you long after the trip is over.
That idea of comfort is what made me want to introduce you to Karen Levine, founder and CEO of PeachSkinSheets, for the travel issue. While PeachSkinSheets is known for creating breathable, luxurious bedding that brings hotel-level comfort into homes across the country, Karen’s story goes far beyond sheets.
What makes Karen’s journey inspiring is that PeachSkinSheets was built during one of the most difficult seasons of her life. After stepping away from the corporate world at 48, navigating financial struggles, and rebuilding life as a single mother, Karen transformed uncertainty into opportunity, creating a brand centered around comfort, connection, and helping people feel more at home in their everyday lives.
Built from her kitchen table and garage, PeachSkinSheets has since grown into a nationally recognized brand, but Karen’s story is about much more than the company she built. It’s a story of reinvention and resilience, shaped by her ability to turn setbacks into new beginnings. From working in corporate marketing and beauty to mastering e-commerce and growing her company through festivals, trade shows, and direct conversations with customers, every step of her journey has been rooted in perseverance, creativity, and connection.
