There are several ways to fold a fitted sheet. The most basic way involves folding all four corners into each other. To begin folding, place the sheet on a flat surface and smooth the fabric. Next, fold the sheet in thirds from one direction. Then, flip the sheet over and repeat the process. The finished product should look like this. This is a simple, yet effective way to fold a fitted sheet.
Simple method
One of the easiest methods to fold a fitted sheet is to start by placing the sheet on a clean, flat surface. Fold the four corners of the sheet inward.
Fold the top and bottom corners over the middle and smooth the folded sheet out. You can then fold the sheet in half and turn it over to finish the process. If you are folding a queen-size sheet, you may need to fold it into quarters or even fold it in half lengthwise.
Start by holding the sheet lengthwise. Place your hands in the upper pockets of the sheet. The elastics should face you. Fold one corner over the other, and then flip the sheet over so that the elastics line up. Repeat this process until the sheet is folded in half. Make sure that all corners line up. When finished, the sheet is ready for use. If you have any difficulty folding your sheet, try practicing this method with a piece of cardboard or a velcro-covered board.
One of the best things about fitted sheets is that they are easy to fold. Not only will this save you space in your linen closet, but it will make finding extra sheets a breeze. It will also make you feel more accomplished, which will impress your roommates and your mother-in-law. The best part is that it only takes a few minutes to learn this simple method. You can even view a video demonstration that shows the process step-by-step.
U-shape folding method
The first step to tucking a fitted sheet is to lay it on a flat surface. Next, fold one corner of the sheet over the other, and bring the right corner over the left corner. This will create an arch shape in the bottom of the sheet. When folded properly, the sheet will look like a U-shape. Once the sheet is tucked, lay it flat to smoothen out the creases.
Besides tucking the sheet, this folding method is also ideal for saving space. The U-shape method is more efficient than the “classic tuck” method, but the first two methods require some practice. The U-shape method is the most effective way to fold fitted sheets, as it requires more precision. A few tips are listed below to make this task easier for you.
To fold the sheet, begin by unfolding it lengthwise. Then, place both hands into the pockets of the sheet. Make sure that the edges of both pockets meet. Fold the sheet lengthwise, so that the gathered edge is facing up. Repeat the U-shape folding process with the other three corners. The sheet should be square, and the elastic is on the top. After the folding process is complete, unfold the sheet.
Tucking in top sheet
Using the video above, learn how to fold a fitted sheet. Start by folding the bottom corners of the sheet up. Then, fold the top corner of the sheet down to meet the bottom corner. After that, fold the sheet again in thirds, this time from one direction. Flip the sheet over, and the two tucked corners should be together. Repeat for the remaining sides. You can see how to tuck the top sheet into the bottom sheet.
Fold the sheet lengthwise, with the elastic facing up. Slide your right hand into the upper corner of the sheet, keeping your left hand free. Then, flip the sheet over and place the curved edge facing the center. Repeat the process for the other side of the bed. Once you have lined up all four corners, you are ready to place the top sheet inside the bottom one. It will be easier to pull the top sheet down if the bottom sheet is also tucked in.
Folding a fitted bed sheet can be difficult, especially if you’re using a soft surface. The best way to practice folding a fitted sheet is to use a large, flat surface. A dining table or craft table works best for this. To begin, grab the corners of the top sheet and place your hands into them. Now, tuck one corner into the other corner. Fold the other end into the fourth corner as well. Repeat the process for the other corner.
