Can't seem to work out how to fold a fitted sheet?

See how easily it's done in our instructional home hack, then refer below for each of the steps you see in this video.

HOW TO FOLD A FITTED SHEET IN 9 SUPER-EASY STEPS

1. Grab two corners of your fitted sheet, lengthways.
2. Flip your sheet inside-out.
3. With the elastic facing you, insert your hands into both corners.
4. Place the right-hand corner of your sheet over the left-hand corner, flip.
5. Swap your hands, reach down, pick up the equal corners on the opposite side, straighten.
6. Again, fold the right-hand corner of your sheet over the left-hand corner to form an l-shape, rotate 90°. Note: all corner seams should now be in one hand.
7. Find a flat surface, lay your sheet down.
8. Fold the messy edge inwards, towards you.
9. Fold into thirds again – voilà!

1) Wrap sheet in ball
2) Flatten
3) Stuff in drawer
4) Drink a refreshing cold beverage

This changed my life. Now I can tell people casually “oh yeah, I fold my fitted sheets” and they’ll go “that’s impossible!” And I will be able to demonstrate and inspire shock and awe.

I've watched this 4 times and still don't get it.

Thank you for getting to the point! No backstory or incessant rambling to sit through before you showed us what we came here to see!😊

Yesterday, for the first time ever, I folded a fitted sheet nicely WITHOUT needing to reference this video. Shout out to this video for all the help it’s given me over the past year or two!!

I've cracked the code. See ya'll on the other side.

"Grab two corners lengthways"
Aaaaand I'm lost.

I am 21 years old and have never been able to fold a fitted sheet to save my life. I can not tell you how much this video helped me. I finally folded a fitted that doesn't look like a crumpled mess and I can not stop smiling. THANK YOU!!! 😁😁

This is amazing. It’s a bit tricky to finally get it, but once I did I was blown away.

What a neat folding trick. My fitted sheet looks better than my non fitted sheet now.

Thanks!

I'm not sure why, but this is the most I've smiled in the three months since my wife left me. I suppose knowledge is therapeutic.

I tried watching this at 0.25 speed to follow along and honestly it’s terrifying

[michellecavalcante]

FINALLY! Finally I got this. Other videos were weird, because of the perspective, but this one is in OUR perspective, so I understood. Thank you so much!

So I thought that after 32yrs of living on God’s green earth that today would be the day I learned how to finally fold the fitted sheet… but after watching the full 1:03 tutorial on how to do so, I’m comfortable with conceding to the fact that it’s way too much effort for the desired result 😂 - for me, at least lol At least the crumpled up mess will make it recognizable from the regular sheet, and I accept the fitted sheet for however it chooses to present itself! 💁🏽‍♀️ But still! Great video! Perhaps one day I’ll ascend that pinnacle level of adulthood lol

I feel like I’ve made it to the next evolution. I had to pause a couple times to catch up but I folded my first ever fitted sheet! Thank you!

Hello. I’m 35 years old and today was the first day I was able to fold a fitted sheet. 🤣

[youngladydragon]

This honestly helped me. I had always watched my mother in amazement as she folded the fitted sheets. I, like a dumbo, never asked if she'd teach me how to do it as well. Thank you ♡

[blueangelgyrl]

This is the best video but it's WAYYY too frickin fast. I had to pause and rewind and replay countless times

[monihasnone]

I understood this and it works like a charm! No clue why people find it so hard to follow.

[ruftotherescue]

BEST. VIDEO. EVER. I had to pause and back up a bunch of times (because I forgot you can change playback speeds) but after many years and many different videos, this is the one that did it!!!
