If you have trouble following along, give the included video a watch or two.
Folding fitted sheets will help its longevity so your hard-earned money doesn’t go to waste.
Plus, you’ll have wrinkle-free bed sheets and anorganized linen closet.
Afterwashing your sheets, be sure they thoroughly dry (in a dryer or air-dried) before folding them.
You don’t want any lingering moisture to get trapped after being folded and put away.
Fold on your bed for the best results.
The elastic band should be facing you.
The elastic edge on the bottom two corners will still be facing you.
To minimize wrinkles, fold your fitted sheets right out of the dryer while they’re still warm.
(They just need to mirror your movements until the sheet is manageable for one person.)
Store the sheets in a linen closet, anunder-the-bed storage container, or a designated dresser drawer.
This may also wear out the elastic band, causing the fitted sheet to fit the bed improperly.
Instead, store your sheet sets (including your folded fitted sheet) inside one of the pillowcases.
The easiest way to prevent a fitted sheet from slipping off the bed is by using sheet suspenders.
Another option is to purchasedeep-pocket sheetsthat you could tuck well under the corners of the mattress.
