How to fold a fitted sheet
How to fold your fitted sheet in 7 easy steps
Folding a fitted sheet can seem tricky, but if you follow these steps you'll never find it awkward again!
- Fold your sheet as soon as you've removed it from your dryer before it starts to crease.
- First, make sure you have plenty of space and a flat surface. A bed or table will do.
- Turn the sheet inside out and take hold of the 2 corners on the long side of the sheet.
- Bring the corners together and fold one over the other.
- Pull out the edges to straighten and then repeat with the other corner.
- Place the sheet on your flat surface and fold into a rectangle, smoothing as you go.
- Fold into thirds and then fold again into either a square or rectangular shape that will fit neatly in your linen cupboard.
