How to fold a fitted sheet

Folding a fitted sheet can be a bit of a nightmare if you don’t know what you’re doing. Luckily, we’ve put together a quick 4-step guide to help make the process (slightly) easier, so you can tick this tricky chore off your list and get on with your day!

Tuck in the corners

Lay the fitted sheet on a flat surface, find two corners and tuck them in to the opposite corners. Then, tuck in the elastic and neaten the overall shape to form a rectangle.

Fold fitted sheets step 1

Create the L-shaped fold

Find two corners again and repeat the tuck one more time so that all four corners of the sheet are in the same place. Lay the sheet down to form a rectangle with an L-shaped fold.

Fold, fold, fold

Fold the sheet into thirds horizontally, so you are left with a long strip of fabric, smoothing as you go. Then, fold it into thirds along the strip to form the sheet into a small square.
