How to fold a fitted bed sheet
Folding a fitted sheet is easy when you have the proper instructions. Watch the video below and follow these simple steps for perfecting your fitted sheet folding technique.
Step 1: Identify the corners at the head and foot of your sheet.
Step 2: Placing your hands inside a head and foot corner, bring one side over so that it’s tucked inside. Repeat this step on the remaining head and foot corner, then insert all four corners together so the sheet becomes square.
Step 3: Fold the curved edge about an inch to create a straight edge lengthwise, then fold over to create a rectangle.
Step 4: Fold up a short edge halfway. Then fold over again.
How to stack your bed sheets
Here’s a helpful hack to keep bed sheet sets neat: Fold your folded fitted sheet, flat sheet, and one pillowcase into a rectangle. Then, place the entire bundle inside the other pillowcase, folding any extra fabric into a rectangle.
Stack bundles according to size (twin, full, queen, king, etc.) or by the room you use them in (primary bedroom, guest bedroom, kids’ bedroom, etc.), and place them on a shelf or in a basket inside your linen closet.
This will not only keep sheet sets together so they’re easier to find but will also make your closet look more organized.
