Folding sheets is not that difficult, but it can be cumbersome and it’s always nicer to put a properly folded sheet on a bed than a rolled up sheet on the bed. I’ve found that having a method of folding sheets and sticking to it is easier – all of the sheets stack nicely, and it’s just easier to fold, tuck, and store.
Fold the fitted sheet or flat sheet
- Pull the sheets out of the dryer – try to bring them when they are warm so you don’t have clenched or wrinkled sheets.
- Fold the sheets in half lengthways.
- Fitted sheets – tucking one corner into the other – like a bag.
- Fold the sheet in half again with the matching corners inward.
- Fold the sheet in half and bring the two corners together.
- Fold it in half again – it should be approximately 11 “x 14”, if not, fold it again.
- If you are using a flat sheet, fold it in the same way and stack the flat sheet and fitted sheet together, or wrap the flat sheet around the fitted sheet.
- Place the extra pillowcase in the sheets or on top and slide the “package” into the pillowcase.
- Place the sets on top of each other on a shelf or in a basket.
Do you use a sheet folding method? I find it very helpful to have only one method of folding sheets even if you don’t use my method by simply following a certain type of folding to keep them neat and tidy on your shelf or wherever you keep them keep.
