How to Fold a Fitted Sheet in Less Than a Minute
Follow these simple steps to fold your fitted sheet easily:
Step 1: Lay the Sheet on a Flat Surface
Firstly, lay the fitted sheet out on a flat surface, with the elastic side facing up. It's better to use a large surface such as the kitchen table or bed.
Step 2: Carry the Short Sides to the Top
Drape your index finger inside each of the short end sides of the fitted sheet. Then, carry it up to the top end of the fitted sheet and give it a little flick to ensure that it is all in and straight.
Step 3: Lay the Sheet Down
Lay the sheet down onto your flat surface, making sure that it represents an upside-down U shape.
Step 4: Bring Up the Bottom of the Sheet
Bring up the bottom of the sheet so it is in line with the fitted elastic side. Smooth it out first before folding.
Step 5: Fold the Top End Vertically
Fold the top end vertically towards you and smooth it out again.
Step 6: Fold the Sheet Horizontally
Finally, fold the fitted sheet horizontally four or five times, depending on the size of your fitted sheet. Then, simply store it away in the linen closet with the matching pillowcases and flat sheet.
Congratulations! You have successfully folded your fitted sheet in less than a minute.
