How to Fold a Deep Pocket Fitted Sheet
You've folded your family's clothes, towels, pillowcases and flat sheets. You're left with a pile of fitted sheets. Trying to fold a fitted sheet with deep pockets often leaves you with a lumpy and unattractive stack of linens in the closet. It's difficult to get those pockets to behave. Folding a fitted sheet doesn't have to be a frustrating chore.
-
Grasp the sheet by two the corners of one of the short ends. Stand up so the sheet is not dragging on the ground.
-
Place each hand inside the pockets of each of the two corners.
-
Bring your hands together, and fold the corner in your right hand over the one in your left.
-
Repeat with the other two corners, bringing them together and folding one over the other.
-
Bring the bottom corners up to meet the top corners, and fold them all over one hand.
-
Place the folded sheet on a table or the floor, and fold over the edges of the pockets.
-
Fold the edges of the sheet inward to hide the elastic.
-
Fold the sheet into a neat rectangle.

Tips
- Take sheets out of the dryer as soon as they are dry. This will prevent wrinkles and keep your sheets looking fresh.
