This Is How to Fold a Fitted Sheet

If between your perfectly folded pillowcases and duvet covers lies a collection of fitted sheets that have been wrangled desperately to resemble the rest of your symmetrical linen stacks, now's the perfect time to learn how to fold them properly (and quickly). Trying to make sense of the curved corners and stretchy elastic has baffled even the best of us, but we're here to show you how easy it is to fold a sheet of the fitted variety in just a few simple steps.

Step 1: Grab two corners lengthways (underside facing down).

Step 2: Bring your hands together and fold the right corner over the left hand.

Step 3: Swap hands and reach to collect the opposite corners.

Step 4: Again, fold the right corner over the left.

*You should now have a rectangular shape*

Step 5: Lay your sheet onto a flat surface and fold into thirds, and then into thirds the other way.

Voil! We told you it was easy and now you'll never have to hide your fitted sheets away again.
