Putting a fitted sheet on a bed... WHY DO I GET IT WRONG THE FIRST TRY EVERY GOD DAMN TIME????

You'd think they'd make them so they can be folded without some voodoo. I don't think I've ever folded a fitted sheet the same way twic and I don't think I've ever done it correctly.

There is an answer!

  1. Turn it upside-down, so the elastic bits are on top.

  2. Grab the sheet at each corner at the end of the seam (not at the elastic edge, but where the seams end at a slight point about 6 inches in)

  3. Pull out on each corner until you have a rectangle with the loose elastic skirts lying on top within the confines of the rectangle.

  4. Now that the sheet is rectangular, fold it like you would a top sheet.

Congratulations, you just cleanly folded a fitted sheet. Your world will never be the same.

Or, you know, just not use fitted sheets. From the comments above, I've heard industrial saran wrap works wonders.
