Confirmed. I’ve been folding my fitted sheets this way for about three decades now. Mystifies the dickens out of my other half; married for a half-dozen years now and I still need to do the folding to get it done right. All it takes is a decent modicum of mental modeling in all three dimensions.

I'll tell you when I'm finished!

[–]Realworld 12 points13 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It works. Figured it out independently in my early 20s. It helps being built like a orangutan. My arm span is greater than my height and I'm 6'. I fold queen size sheets this way, in the air.

While holding sheet off the floor, I shake out sheet and tuck hands into adjacent fitted corners. Double right hand's corner over onto left hand. Trade covered hand, freeing left hand. Use free left hand to repeat with other 2 corners. Double right hand's 2 corners over left hand's 2 corners. Trade hands again, draping quarter-folded sheet over right forearm. Check it's hanging straight and flat. Fold 3 times against my chest. Done.

Takes about 15 seconds working casually.

[–]tolndakoti 19 points20 points ago

I still don't understand your instructions

[–]Realworld 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

In detail:

  1. Shake sheet out and find a pocket corner. Since I like to finish with pockets correct side out, I start by turning 1st pocket inside out over my right hand.

  2. Hold right hand up overhead and find another pocket corner with left hand. Tuck left hand into 2nd pocket and spread arms wide at shoulder level. Check to see if your two corners are adjacent (sheet will look like OP picture #1). You have 2/3 odds of finding adjacent corners at first try. If not, drop that corner and take another; now sheet looks like OP picture #1.

  3. Spread arms wide and notice how much sheet drapes between your hands. With a little practice you'll recognize length difference between shorter sheet-ends and longer sheet-sides. You want two adjacent side-sheet pockets, not end-sheet pockets. If necessary, rotate sheet 90° to get two adjacent side pockets.

  4. Bring hands together at shoulder height and flip right-hand corner pocket over left-hand corner pocket (OP picture #2). This leaves exposed fitted corner correct side out.

Note: here on I do somewhat different from OP's pictures. My average-height wife does it this way too.

  1. Hold your left hand, with two corners, up overhead. Use free right hand to shake out folded right side of sheet so it drapes clean.

  2. In one motion, I flip folded right side of sheet over my right forearm and shoulder, tucking my right hand into left hand's two corner pockets. That frees my left hand.

  3. Hold right hand (with two pockets) up in air. This brings two remaining pockets within reach of my free left hand. Tuck free-hanging inside pocket into free-hanging outside pocket. You now have your right hand in first two corner pockets and your left hand in second two corner pockets.

  4. Rotate sheet to shoulder level, with arms spread. Sheet looks like OP picture #1 again, but now with two corner pockets over each hand.

  5. Bring hands together and flip two right-hand corner pockets over two left-hand corner pockets. Sheet looks like OP picture #2, but now with four corner pockets over left hand.

  6. Use free right hand to shake out and straighten draped right side of sheets.

  7. Rather than tell you how an orangutan finishes folding it in the air, just lay it on a flat surface like OP picture #3 and fold it over on itself a couple times. Comes out nice and tidy.

I learned about putting the sheet set into the pillowcase just this year. Now all my sheets are put away in neat little pouches.

One of these days I'll have to show my mother this. She always thought I was messy and needed to clean up more. She's right of course, but she'd think I am a genius for this.

Agreed. However, I have a great spatial awareness, but I still can't fold sheets or clothes worth a shit.

Mind you, perfectly-folded items are not terribly important to me... (save for dress pants/shirts)

Ever walk into a dark room and just try to do your task based on spatial recollection? I find it to be entertaining practice.

[–]philge 1 point2 points ago

It's funny because I am a current hotel employee and we don't even fold ours! Every single piece of laundry has to be folded very neatly and stacked accordingly except for the fitted sheets. We kind of roll them into little bundles and just throw them on a shelf.

I don't suppose you could explain the first 3 images more clearly? I kinda find them confusing, I don't get how or what she's doing.

[–]The_Deacon 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You know the parts on the corners where there's a seam that runs up a little way from the elasticated edges?

The first step is to poke your fingers into a pair of these corners (along one edge, not the diagonal pair), and bring them together by folding the sheet in half. With one hand, pinch through to grip the other corner and 'flip' that other corner over the top of the first so that they sit 'flat' with each other.

Keep holding that corner, and with your free hand, run it to where the fold has been made in the middle of the sheet and shake it out a little to ensure the fold is reasonably clean.

Then, take the free hand and grab the other pair of corners (these should be in roughly the same location given your nice fold. Take these two corners and bring them together with the original two, thus making the second fold across the sheet. As with the first two corners, use the pinch and flip as necessary to make all four corners sit in the same way over the top of the pinching hand. Check your edges again and adjust the folds if they're a bit off. You should then, hopefully, have something of an approximation to the picture at step 4.

Essentially, you're stacking the four corners on top of each other and keeping the folds neat. If it helps, imagine that you're folding the sheet without the part that would cover the sides of the mattress, or that the 'side parts' are folded in and physically stitched. The corners of that imaginary sheet are the inner end of the corner seams, so the 'side parts' just get doubled up inside the major folds as if they aren't there.

Hopefully I haven't just added to the confusion, but the best way is just to try.

take a fitted sheet, put your hands in the pockets, bring your hands togeather, fold one sheet pocket over the other, making a double corner, repeat for the other corners and then put the double corners togeather.

Could you do me and my fellow fitted sheet folding failures a favor and fill in the blanks for each corner and how exactly this lady gets to step 4. I can figure it out from there. When trying this, I feel, there are about 3-5 steps missing from the 1-4 sequence that results in me getting pissed off, balling them up, and throwing them in the corner while yelling unspeakable things about the woman who thinks those instructions are clear.

[–]bitchpotatobunny 0 points1 point ago

True. I learned at an early age how to properly fold fitted sheets. (My mother was insistent that it was a necessary life skill) It does work that way. However, as I've gotten older, I've realized that I never see the damn thing anyway. It's either in a closet, or stretched onto my bed and covered up with another sheet and blanket. So now I tend to just make it flat and manageable with some square-like resemblance, and then just shove it between the flat sheet and the shelf until it's needed for use.

As a man who can't fold a hankerchief, there seems to be about 17 steps missing between Step 3 and Step 4.

My wife folds ours that way, learnt it from an in-law who is in the air force. I've never done it myself, but seen her do it.

that's how my grandma showed me to do it. Hers looked like that and 20 years later mine still look like a wadded up ball of wrinkles.

I feel like if I did this I would never be able to tell the difference between fitted sheets and normal sheets in my linen closet and I would just make a mess

My mom can do this, ever since i went to college and started folding my own I was never able to do the elastic one so I just folded up in a ball. When I asked her how, she told me it was magic... fucking witch.

British comedian Jim Campbell has a great line about getting duvets into duvet covers: "It's like trying to get a cloud into a condom." Ok, so I know that's not really what this post is about but it reminded me of it. SCREW YOU!

Come on guys. Just search youtube on "how to fold a fitted sheet" there are about a trillion tutorial videos showing that.

[–]KelseyLeila 0 points1 point ago

I just hold my fitted sheets by where the corners of the mattress go and let the elastic mess part get folded inside. It works pretty well for me.

I have heard rumors of this ability, but most of the knowledge of folding a fitting sheet passed into oblivion after the Library of Alexandria burned.

This is the song they sing in boot camp in the Australian Army: "I don't know what I been told, Fitted sheets are hard to fold"

[–]JanusMZeal11 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Lets see if I can label the instructions.

1) Find 2 adjacent inner corners of the fitted sheets (where the corner seems end.

1.5) Stick your finger into the corner to make it a prominent hook.

2) Take the other corner and fold it over, matching inner (or outer) sides together lining up that corner seem.

3) Repeat for other 2 corners.

4) Lay down on a flat surface and smooth out the lines, (used an iron for the image).

5) Folded the long ways edges inside doing a 3 part fold

6) Fold the top side down to desired shape.

7) Perfect Fitted fold complete.

I'm sorry but I always fold my sheets like this, it's easy! Learned this from all the women in my family. My boyfriend can do this too.

Finally got the hang of this with fitted crib mattress sheets; much less fabric to wrangle, same principle.

I've been shown how to do this numerous times in person and I still cannot do it.

I am convinced that my arms and hands are too small to ever succeed.

Side note: makes me very happy to see I am not the only one incapable, for whatever reasons.

This can be done, but it is much harder than the pictures show. My mother could do this and has tried to teach me. After 1000 lessons I have still not been able to perform this. My mother has told me I am a lost cause.
