There’s really only one way to fold a fitted sheet without succumbing to the frustration that usually accompanies the task.

The elastic bands do present an issue, see, and most of us end up shoving unfolded linens into our closets. That wastes space, and it’s completely unnecessary—folding a fitted sheet is fairly simple, once you’ve mastered the technique.

Here’s the best method:
  1. Start by holding the sheet lengthwise by the top two corners (the short side of the sheet will hang down). Keep the right side (the one that faces up when you put it on the bed) toward your body, but make the corners inside out, so your hands are inside the corners.
  2. Bring those top two corners together. Fold one corner over the other, pulling it so that its elastic fitting covers the other’s.
  3. From the second corner, slide down the edge of the sheet to the next corner. Pick it up and tuck it into the second corner, bringing the elastic over the new corner, like with the first two.
  4. Slide down again to the final corner. Bring it up and tuck it in behind the other three corners.
  5. Lay the sheet on a table. Keep the corners facing up, and be sure to smooth out any wrinkles as you work to keep your linens as flat as possible. Fold the sheet vertically in thirds. Fold in from one side, then the other side (so, while you’re folding in thirds, you’re only performing two actual folds).
  6. Fold the sheet horizontally in thirds using the same process. For larger sheets, you might decide to fold in fourths. By this point, the sheet should be relatively flat, and the elastic should be completely within the folded linen. If the elastic is still exposed, you may have to shake the sheet out and start over.

Folding a fitted sheet isn’t actually difficult, but it requires some precision and attention to detail. Practice a few times, and you’ll get the process down.

To see this in action, here’s a helpful video from Living On A Dime.

How do you fold a bottom sheet?

Sounds complicated but isn't. You can take the sheet, fold in half. You will then have a corner in a right hand and a left hand. Fold the corners into each other. Then fold the sheet in half again and fold until you like how it looks. I always take my flat sheet and fold it. Then I place my fitted sheet neatly folded in the inside of the flat sheet. I just roll it into one folded set. That way when you do your laundry and you are placing them in a closet they look neatly folded. Hope this helps:) -------/2, c-----c, cc----cc, cc-----cc/2..Maybe that will give you a visual!


How do you short sheet?

When making a bed, you put on the first sheet as normal. (The fitted sheet) The second sheet needs to be tucked in at the head so it is secured to the mattress, and gives the appearance of the lower sheet. Now, the top sheet, after tucking it in, is spread out covering the bed like normal, but now, pull the foot of the sheet back up to the head so that the sheet is actually "folded" in half. Place the blanket on like normal, tucking it in at the foot, and then fold the top sheet over the blanket and tuck it in to "look" like a normally made bed. Then follow up with the comforter. When the victim tries to get into the bed, the short-sheet will stop them at the middle, hence "Short Sheeted"! Have fun!


I am looking for flat or top sheets sheets that have elastic corners on the bottom half of the sheet - does anyone know where I can find them?

If you are referring to the ones where the elastic helps to keep it in place, good luck to you! I've not seen them around for years. But, here's an idea that worked for me. I took the flat top sheet and stitched the edges directly onto those of my bottom fitted sheet. this way when the fitted sheet is in place, the top sheet is in place as well. Start at knee level stitch it all the way around the foot and up the other side to the same level. It's less expensive and worth a try!


How do you make paper poppers?

To make a paper popper, you need a sheet of notebook paper. One way to make a popper from the paper is to first fold the sheet of paper into thirds with the lines going horizontally. Next, you fold the paper in half so the middle shows two single edges, and then hold the bottom corners and swing the folded paper down to make the popping sound.

What are the dimensions of a twin sheet?

Sheet sizes vary depending on the manufacturer. Most standard twin flat sheets measure 70 x 96 inches. The fitted sheet will be about 39 x 76 inches. When shopping for sheets, you may also want to measure the depth - or thickness - of your mattress before buying. Mattress depth can vary greatly depending on the manufacturer and can influence the way the sheets fit. Most regular mattresses are between 9 and 12 inches deep. Pillow-top mattresses can add several extra inches to the depth of the mattress and may require an extra-deep fitted sheet. An extra deep fitted sheet will be labeled with the depth size of the largest mattress it will fit. An xtra-long twin fitted sheet measures 39 x 80 inches.

What size sheets do you use for a king size swing bed?

It depends. If the twin mattresses are XL, then you should be able use a standard King sheets. If the twin mattresses are standard length, then the bed will be shorter than your usual King bed. In that case you could use 2 flat King sheets - tucking in the bottom sheet all the way around (in place of a fitted sheet). Or, you could use 2 twin fitted sheets with a flat king sheet for over top. I'm not sure how sucessful it would be to use a king fitted sheet as it would be too long.
