How to Fold a Fitted Sheet

Step 1: Lay out the fitted sheet with the elastic side up.

Step 2: Pull the two bottom corners inside out.

Step 3: Tuck bottom corners into top corners so that the sheet is folded in half.

Step 4: Stick arms into the pockets of each corner.

Step 5: Extend arms out to the sides.

Step 6: Join the two corners by placing your hands together.

Step 7: Flip one corner over the other so that both corners are draped on one arm. All of the elastic is now aligned at one corner.

Step 8: Lay the folded sheet down on a flat surface. The elastic should make an ‘L’ shape toward the top left corner. Fold into thirds (fold in top first to conceal messy edge).

Step 9: Fold into thirds again and you have a perfectly folded fitted sheet!

There are plenty of easy, space-saving ways to keep your sheet sets neatly together, including:

• Option 1: Place your folded sheets inside the pillowcase and tuck the excess pillowcase under. (It’s now wrapped up as a soft convenient package!)
  
  
• Option 2: Fold pillowcase into thirds lengthwise and wrap around folded sheets (like a present!)
  
  
• Option 3: Simply fold the pillowcase and stack it on top of the other sheets
