How to Fold a Fitted Sheet - from a Math Guy

Even mathematicians do laundry! Someone recently said to me: "Hey James. You're a mathematician. You should be able to figure out how to fold a fitted sheet." Here's the result.

DO NOT watch any other videos. This is the only one that CLEARLY explains what to do without all the smoke and mirrors! Thank you 🙏

Thank you James! I’m a PhD in Physics. I’ve been trying to fold fitted sheets from other YouTube’s and can never remember it from one time to the next. But your “U” and doing it backwards broke through too me. I think I will remember this for the rest of my life. Thanks again.

I can’t believe I’ve lived four decades without this knowledge. Thank you, math guy.

The explanation of the u-shape (and you spending several moments just showing us where you were holding your hands) finally got the concept through to me. Thanks.

By an order of magnitude, this is by far the BEST fitted sheet folding video I’ve seen — and I’ve watched A LOT of them! Thanks to the Math Guy for making it SIMPLE!!!

I watched 4 videos before this one. Thanks to The Math Guy I can finally fold a fitted sheet! Only took me 44 years to learn!

Who disliked this video? This is, by far, the best explanation I've seen.

You, my friend, are a GENIUS. Not that you folded the fitted sheet neatly, but that you showed how to do it without losing me !!! Thank you !!

Watched 5 videos, all of them are like, "Okay ready? Take one hand, move it here, and WOW, a perfectly folded sheet!" "WHAT?!?!?!" Thanks bro, this helped out TREMENDOUSLY!

I can fix a welding machine from bits and bolts to full power! But can I fold a fitted sheet?
Thanks to James, and his teaching brain, his light and happy attitude, and the encouragement factor of 11 yes. I can now fold a fitted sheet.
I scrolled through Nana's videos, rifled through Grandma's brain but none of them landed a successful lesson like James here.
Once again, a math teacher has changed my life!

FINALLY - a demo that explains all steps clearly. Thanks James.

[foneman]

Wow, This is the best folded sheet demonstration so far, Thanks

[olivierpector]

Sheer congratulations. Very bright. Great way of thinking: 1 Start from the end, and go backwards, 2. Show crucial intermediate steps (u shape). 1. and 2. may be very useful to explain how to do many other things, not only how to fold fitted sheet, almost everything actually. This is revolutionary.

Brilliant! My Grandmother tried to teach me, 50+ yrs ago. My mother tried forty years ago, as I was leaving the nest. Since then, I just kind of fold them in half a couple of times and stuff them in my linen closet. Retired now, so I have the time to learn. YouTube has too many videos on folding fitted sheets. THIS VIDEO should be your go-to. Easy to follow: U-shape> Half> 3rds> 3rds = Brilliant! Thanks, James

[jeanettegunter]

The best video ever for showing how to fold a fitted sheet!

[MARY-bmcn]

Best one yet. He's smart, good looking, has the right attitude, and I understand.

[marcyrick]

This is the best video. I finally got it after 61 years!!!! thank you so much

[ymiinar]

I love this guy. He’s a hell of a good teacher!

[JoyceAnnePawlyshyn]

You with your humor and way of explaining have made how to fold a fitted easy to see how it’s done and why sometimes I succeed and sometimes not. Thank you. By the way it’s only taken me 73 years lol. Glad I found your video. I think your video and instructions I will remember

[jcolinmizia]

Thank you for this public service. I went through half a dozen videos that all were “do a, then b, then c, turn it over and you’ve got a perfectly folded sheet” but without any explanation of the logic of it and we’re impossible to follow/replicate. This was so helpful!
