How to fold a fitted sheeet


I've seen this demonstrated several times over the years, and keep forgetting the steps.  Posted here for future reference.

  1. I think the real issue is not "How to fold a fitted sheet," but rather "Why fold a fitted sheet?" Most of the wrinkles stretch out when you put it on the mattress, and then you go to sleep on it and press out the rest. Problem solved.

  2. I think the point she makes in the movie is that when its folded right it takes up less room in the drawer or on the shelf. Its not a wrinkle thing.

  4. Fitted sheets are my mortal enemy. I've gotten so disgusted with them that I don't just wad them up, I wad them up with feeling. Maybe now I have a chance. Thanks!

  7. I love this video, but the beginning "The biggest challenge that you will face in life" is misleading. Really, sheet-folding lady? Really?

    I'm gonna try this tonight though, im sick of wads of sheets in my closet.

  8. It's always seemed obvious to me to tuck the corners into each other. I'm not sure why people would need directions.
