How to fold fitted sheets

To fold a fitted sheet, first, hold the sheet lengthwise with the elastic side facing you. Then, tuck one corner into the opposite corner, creating a sort of pocket. Next, repeat this process with the other corners, folding them into the first two corners you tucked in. Lay the sheet flat on a surface, smoothing out wrinkles, and fold it into thirds or quarters, depending on your storage preference.

Folding a fitted sheet can seem like a daunting task, but with a few simple steps, you can make it manageable. Start by holding the sheet by the two corners at one of the shorter ends, with the elastic side facing you. Take one corner and tuck it into the pocket created by the other corner. This effectively creates a smaller square that helps to minimize the sheet’s bulk. Then, take the two remaining corners and tuck them in similarly, forming a rectangle or square shape.

After tucking all corners, place the folded sheet onto a flat surface, smoothing out any wrinkles as you go. You can then fold the sheet into thirds or quarters, depending on how you prefer to store it. Some may prefer to fold it into thirds for tight storage, while others may find it easier to create quarters for a more compact, yet still organized, solution. By following these steps, you’ll impress everyone with your newfound folding skills and enjoy a well-organized linen closet!
