6 Steps To Master How To Fold A Fitted Sheet

There's no denying that a fitted sheet is one of the trickiest pieces of bed linen to fold. Its elastic edges are brilliant for keeping the sheet snug on your mattress, but they also create an awkward shape that's hard to fold neatly. Learning how to properly fold a fitted sheet makes organising your linen cupboard easier and helps you store your sheets in tidy, manageable stacks. At KOO, we're here to guide you through it. If this is your first time attempting it, the process may feel a little confusing, but like any skill, it becomes simple with practice. Keep at it, and you'll be folding like a pro before you know it.

1. Start With The Sheet Inside-Out

Hold the sheet lengthways and pop your hands into the top two corners, flipping your sheet inside out. The elastic, care tags and lining should now be facing you.

2. Tuck And Smooth

Bring one corner across to meet the other, then tuck it neatly inside. You'll now have the top corners sitting together.

3. Nest All Four Corners

Find the bottom corners and tuck them into the top set, so all four corners are stacked. This helps create a clean, square shape.

4. Lay it Flat

Give the sheet a light, gentle shake and place it on a bed or table. Smooth the edges so the elastic curves sit tidy and contained.

5. Fold Into a Long Rectangle

Fold one long edge in toward the centre, then repeat with the opposite side. You should now have one neat, even strip.

6. Finish With a Clean Fold

Fold the strip into thirds (or quarters, depending on your shelf space or the size of your bed sheets). Smooth as you go, and you'll be left with a perfectly folded fitted sheet that stacks beautifully.
