Can you fold a fitted sheet?

I don't "make the bed" per se...but I will pull the covers up and smooth them. This keeps the cats out of the sheets.

I cannot stand sheets tucked in at the sides. Hotels?...I must pull the sheets out to the foot of the bed so they have enough room to flow over/around me. I cannot sleep in a 'tent' of sheets/blankets. I need to have them snugged around.

Here's a good link with a video

I still don't get why anyone bothers though. Sure we can all do it, but it's amazing how tightly you can wad a sheet if you need to.

Maybe you all just have too much linen.

There must come a point when the wadding tightly and ramming in a closet is as much effort as folding?

it seems like learning to touchtype -so complex, it's hardly worth the effort, but once you've mastered it you wonder why you ever thought the other way was easier.

Can you fold a fitted sheet?

1. (paranoid) Who told you about my sheets?
2. Depends on what it is fitted to.
3. Sure. Swan, rabbit, flower, or sailor hat?
4. Only if the grand Wizard takes it off first.

No, it's always easier to wad than to fold. Actually, we have an add about toilet paper on telly here that stars a little boy complaining about being a folder in a family fully of scrunchers.

It's quite a funny concept. Makes you really think about your toilet habits.

The TP commercial sounds cute!

I had never thought about folding the fitted sheet. I guess it never occured to me, as I'd tried it and couldn't get it to 'go', so I'd just sort of try to fold it in 4ths and then wad/stuff it in the closet. I figured they could only be folded by the machines that folded them to fit in those tiny bags they come crammed into.
Blew me away when I saw that photo-tutorial and found I actually COULD do it.

I disagree.

I have two sheets for my bed - one is on it and the other is approximately folded. Even in a small room I don't need to worry about the extra few cm that would come from folding it correctly

I'm with you on that one SG. I don't keep a huge pile of sheets really. A couple of changes for each of the beds, but most of them stay in the linen closet because I when I wash the sheets I tend to put the freshly washed ones back on the bed. (They smell so good)

[Aliantha]

yes, but now you know how, will you bother doing it anyway?

I have a feeling I will try...but it just may wind up wad/stuffed anyways. Though the corners will all be neat and together. Surely that counts for points?

[Aliantha]

yes well, that's the difference between you and me.

I have to ask though, don't you think it's quicker to wad?

[monster]

nah, I get all tangled up. Folding also helps free trapped underwear, so it's a twofer.
