Is your linen cupboard filled with messy fitted sheets like mine?

Learn how to fold a fitted sheet perfectly and make some space in your linen cupboard today.

Look at the difference!

Step 1: Hold two corners of your sheet

Step 2: Fold one corner into the other

Step 3 and 4: Fold 3rd and 4th corners, one at a time, up to the join

Step 5: Lay sheet down on table

Step 6: Fold sheet width ways into thirds (quarters if it’s a queen or king sized sheet)

Step 7: Fold length ways into thirds (or quarters)

You’re done!

 

I tried this and after a couple of goes, I found this very easy and quick once you get the hang of it your linen cupboard will never look so tidy.

  • Yep I mastered the technique long ago. You can also keep everything together by sliding the sheets inside the pillow case.

  • This is how I always fold my fitted sheets and then I put the flat sheet and one pillow case in a stack and it all gets put into the second pillow case. All I have to do then is grab out one stack and everything is ready for the bed change. I started doing this when I was a cleaner at our local hospital as well and the nurses loved the idea. The cupboards always looked so tidy as well

  • FItted sheets are an eternal problem! I just accept that they will look messy and that’s OK.
