What's the proper way to fold a "fitted" sheet? (seriously, I never learned how)?

Question

Please give detailed instuctions! Can one person do it

effectively or does it take two?

Answer 1

Put the corners into the corners.  Just fold it like a flat, but with the elastic kind of clumps up around itself.  Never really lays too flat, but stays well enough.  

Those corners are kind of like pockets to put the opposite corners into.  

Hard to describe, but simple enough.  

Or just wad them up into a ball. I do that sometimes when I'm tired.

Answer 2

I fold my flat sheet up like normal.  The I fold my fitted sheet almost the same way-edges to edges. So this makes two folded sheets.  I put these two items along with the folded pillowcases-all of this INTO one pillowcase. This way your whole sheet set is together and will stack neatly on shelf.

Answer 3

What we do is to fold the sides in by about 30cm or 12" then it makes nice even sides. Then we fold it up as a flat sheet.

Answer 4

Place your hands inside the corners of one side of the sheet, and then find the other opposing corners and put the first corners into the other two.  Then place the sheet (with the two sets of corners) down on a flat surface and fold the edges down to make straight corners.  This allows you to fold the sheet much like folding the top unfitted sheet.  Hope this is understandable.

P.S - this can be done without the cat if necessary - LOL
