How Do You Fold a Fitted Sheet Simply?

Published in Laundry Tips 2 mins read

The simplest method described involves folding one end of the fitted sheet onto itself, then folding the other end onto the first to create a manageable shape. While the provided reference offers a very brief glimpse, here's a more comprehensive, simple method:

  1. Hold the sheet: Hold the fitted sheet with your hands inside two adjacent corners.

  2. Bring corners together: Bring your right hand over to meet your left, folding the right corner over the left corner, so that the elastic edges line up.

  3. Transfer to one hand: Transfer the folded corners to your left hand. Now your right hand is free.

  4. Reach down for the next corner: Reach down and pick up the corner closest to your right hand.

  5. Fold and tuck: Fold this corner over the two corners in your left hand, tucking the third corner over the first two, so the elastic edges line up.

  6. Repeat: Repeat with the final corner, so all four corners are nested neatly inside each other.

  7. Lay on a flat surface: Lay the folded sheet on a flat surface, like a table or bed.

  8. Fold in thirds: Fold the sheet in thirds lengthwise, then in thirds again (or halves if you prefer) widthwise, until you have a neat rectangle.

This method focuses on nesting the corners and then folding into a manageable rectangle for easy storage.
