How to Fold a Fitted Sheet for a Twin Bed (Step-by-Step Guide)
Folding a fitted sheet can feel like an impossible task. The elastic corners make it difficult to get a neat, tidy fold. But with this simple step-by-step guide, you'll be folding fitted sheets like a pro in no time.
Step 1: Hold the Sheet Inside Out
Hold the sheet by the two top corners with the elastic facing you. Turn the sheet inside out so that the elastic is on the inside.
Step 2: Tuck One Corner Into the Other
Bring your right hand to your left hand and tuck the right corner into the left corner. Now you should have two corners tucked into each other.
Step 3: Tuck the Remaining Corners
Now take the bottom two corners and tuck them into the top two corners. You should now have all four corners tucked into each other, forming a rectangle.
Step 4: Lay the Sheet Flat
Lay the sheet flat on a surface with the elastic edges facing up. Smooth out any wrinkles.
Step 5: Fold the Sheet in Thirds
Fold the sheet in thirds lengthwise, bringing one side over to the middle and then the other side over.
Step 6: Fold the Sheet in Half
Fold the sheet in half from top to bottom. You should now have a neat, tidy rectangle that's easy to store.
Pro Tips
- Fold the sheet while it's still warm from the dryer - this makes it easier to get a smooth fold
- If you're having trouble, try folding the sheet on a flat surface instead of in the air
- Store your fitted sheets with the matching pillowcases and flat sheet for easy organization
