How To Fold A Fitted Sheet

Folding your fitted sheets keeps them organized - learn to fold them properly to keep them tidy and wrinkle-free.


Follow these instructions:

  1. First, lay the fitted sheet out with the elastic edges facing upward.
  2. Then, tuck the bottom corners into the top corners to match all corners together.
  3. Fold the fitted sheet in half vertically and make a rectangle.
  4. Fold the sheet in half again, make sure to tuck all the corners together to hide the elastic.
  5. At this stage, you have an L shaped corner where all the elastics should be. Fold it into thirds lengthwise to form a slim rectangle.
  6. Fold the sheet into thirds again, this time crosswise to form a compact square.
  7. Done! Your fitted sheet should look like a small square once complete.
