How to Fold a Fitted Sheet – The Video

how to fold a fitted sheet video

Back in 2010, I did a picture tutorial on how to fold a fitted sheet. Since then, some of you have asked me if I would do a video instead so that you could see it in action – or so you could laugh at me and point fingers – because really…what sane person FOLDS FITTED SHEETS?

I’ll tell you who folds fitted sheets – me. And I actually enjoy it. I like seeing it in a nice, little square in my cabinet. I’m OCD like that.

Even if you never use this method – you’ll still think of me every time you wash sheets now…you’re welcome. 😉

Enjoy!

    I somehow missed this post before (and I hate folding fitted sheets!) so now I’m really excited and almost tempted to go unfold all mine and refold them your way. Buuut…I won’t. I do remember my Mom being good at it and one weekend when I was younger and staying at my Dad’s I asked him to help me fold and his response, being a man, was “Why do you need to fold it?” Sigh.

    Also, I love your voice! Andy is adorable!!!

    My grandma taught me everything but the laying it out and making the sheet as rectangle-y as possible, and now I see I was missing a step! I start out like you, but end up looking like Barry’s lol. Great video ^_^ I especially like the “Ooh look, a hole! Surpriiiiiise!” Made my morning 🙂

    I’ve been wanting to do a folded sheets video too becuase I LOVE folding them! haha! I do mine differently too so that’s interesting. My mom taught me how when I was a wee little thing. I hold one corner in my hand and work my way around until I have them all in my hand, then lay it out and fold. 🙂 I know you care!

    I. Have. Needed. This. Tutorial. For. Years.

    My folded fitted sheets always looked like rectangles with the corners cut off. You make it easy! I missed the step where you tuck the corners in for this whole time. Thankee!

    Yup, I learned a similar technique from my aunt. Only difference she puts all corners together and then starts to fold. Works like a charm!

    My mama would be so proud of you!! She always would say “you don’t want to put wrinkled sheets on your bed.” I also place my sheets in one of the pillow cases. Barry and my husband seem to have the same sheet folding method. It’s a man thing.

    I don’t think you are OCD on folding fitted sheets. I have ALWAYS folded my fitted sheets the way you do. My mother taught me how to fold them about 30 years ago like that.

    I think the key is having a surface to work on (whether the bed, couch, or even the floor).

    It’s so good to see someone else fold their fitted sheets! My mom taught a similar method to my sisters and me when we were little kids and since then I haven’t seen anyone fold their fitted sheets.

    I must confess….I do like hearing you talk….even folding sheets sounds cooler in a Southern accent. My kids tell me I have a Minn-ee-sooo-tah accent, especially after talking to my dad, but I beg to differ. I will try this next time I wash sheets, but I don’t know how successful I will be. I only have the top of the washer to fold on, so that could be an extra challenge. But I will try…cause the folded fitted sheets will take up so much less room in the drawers where I store them. (Right now I am using the husband technique to fold.) Thanks for posting the video! Keep them coming!

      And the husband technique is totally acceptable. Today I am washing and putting straight back on the bed because we only have one set of flannel sheets and it’s cold. 🙂

      I fold mine on the back of the couch. It hangs down and I can grab it easily. I would do it on the bed, but my little guy would bounce all over and mess up my pretty folding job.
