Folding fitted sheets is much easier when there are two sets of hands. Even without an extra helper, you can have nicely folded fitted sheets. Just follow these simple instructions.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Fitted sheet
  • Laundry basket
Step1
Remove the fitted sheet from the dryer and lay it on a bed or large table.
Step2
Fold the sheet in half so that the top corners are aligned with the bottom corners.
Step3
Slide the corners on the right side into each other. Do the same with the corners on the left side.
Step4
Fold the sheet again so that all four fitted sheet corners are on top of each other. Slide the right corners into the left corners.
Step5
Arrange the corners so they lie straight.
Step6
Fold the sheet in half again.
Step7
Fold the folded sheet into thirds.
Step8
Fold the folded sheet in half again.

Tips & Warnings

  • Fold sheets right after they come out of the dryer. The warm sheet will fold easier and be less wrinkled.
  • Place a basket under the dryer so the fitted sheet does not fall onto the floor.
  • Larger bedsheets will require more practice to perfect this technique.
