You have no idea how many videos I have watched on how to fold a fitted sheet, and yours makes the most sense out of any of them! I was finally able to fold a fitted sheet! Thank you!
It's very easy to listen to you. You have a great way of presenting your tips...simple & straight to the point. You don't over complicate each step or come across as better than anyone else.
Thank You for this video. My saver tip is this. I fold the fitted and the flat and the extra pillow case and place them inside the matching pillow case. That way the sheet set stays together.
Only guests get bedclothes from the closet here. And that's only because after I wash them, I don't want to put them straight back on the bed or they'll just get dusty before other guests arrive.
Thanks for giving more than one way. All the other videos I've found are your #2 and it never looks all that good when I get finished. I think I'm going to try the first method from now one. :)
Thank you so much for this video. I literally just folded a set of sheets today and said to myself, "I really need to watch one of those TH-cam videos on how to fold a fitted sheet," and BAM! There you are. The universe, man... whoa.
I never grasped until now how my gran folds sheets 😂 thank-you (way 3). I fold way 2 and tried to explain to my bf.🤦This is the best description instructions ever, I'll just let you teach him.
Thank you so much for this video , you were the third video I watched and I was frustrated and ready to give up and roll it as per usual. Your first method saved the night even if not as smooth as yours :) I also prefer to just put it back in the bed, but on sheet rotation your tips will save me lots of space and frustration .
I wash them and put them back on the bed, like you mentioned! I have a spare pair of sheets for emergencies or for a change in color. But that is the easiest way! The first one you did looked the easiest way to fold. I might try that. Thank you!
Definitely easier to put them straight back on the bed. I only fold them for the guest beds but they're used infrequently so a lot less work for me overall. 😁
I've always done it the second way. I think it's very quick (I'm done in just a few seconds), very neat, and you don't need a big surface to lay it out on. I never knew there were other ways to do it 😂 We don't have a dryer so just putting them back on is seldom an option.
I do it the second way too (for guest sheets). Like you, it doesn't take long at all. But I had to go a little slowly in the demo so people could see how it worked. I think that'll put a lot of people off.
Ok, the first one seemed easy enough, so I'm getting hopeful about acommplishing this for the first time. The second one looked like a proper magic trick to me; I had to laugh out loud when I imagined me trying to do something like this :- D
I watched even though I do option 4. I knew we had the best option, at least until it's time to do the winter flannels which is why I figured I better watch! Thanks!
Could do a video on super chunky/lumpy items that take up loads of space. I live in a cold climate so all my linens, sweaters, and hoodies are extra thick. I watch these videos and see people filling their drawers with beautiful rows of sweaters (long-sleeved shirts they call sweaters) and I can only fit like 3 of my sweaters in a full sized drawer. My sweaters are like trying to fold a husky in half kind of thick (I would never fold a husky but you get the idea). I sometimes think I should just wear t-shirts and stop going outside altogether.
I have the same problem with my bulkier items. I just hang them now so if that's an option for you, try that. Otherwise it's perfectly normal that they take up a huge amount of space. =) Something Marie Kondo recommends is storying them in some sort of material bag that you can close tight with a drawstring or similar, to contain the bulk.
Great tip! And given to us with your awesome sense of humor! I love watching your videos. You almost have me meditating LOL. Well. I sit quiet when I am upset at something that gaped during my day instead of snapping at my family is they dare speak to me or cry my eyes out. Sitting quietly is sort of like meditating , right?
Back on the bed. That’s my typical plan too. Only ruined in bad weather when the sheets won’t dry on the line (I have no dryer) so I do try to plan my sheet washing around the weather report.
Very useful! Thanks. Hmmmm...I notice you have no curtains or drapes. I have not found any I like since we moved. I kind of like the effect of having none. Do you think guests would look askance at us having shades only in the bedrooms? Seems easier, cleaner to go without any. Your thoughts, please!
This is a rental so we really didn't have a choice but I think they're perfectly fine. Your home is for you, not your guests. Anyone who wasn't happy with the shades in our house would be welcome to hang a sheet or stay elsewhere. I will say, though, that I wouldn't consider them a cleaner option. Ours get terribly dusty.
Lol my grandmother showed me the second way but it tends to get kinda messy but I'm a pro at it I just fold the fitted and then the flat and one pillow case then put all 3 in the 2nd pillow case to keep the sets together and fold down the flap on the pillow case for a smooth look but love the video
I do the 2nd method. But, I've seen another method demonstrated by a hotel laundry guy. He folded the sheet like method 2 - but did a triangular pattern in the middle of his process that other say it lessens bulk. I'm going to try it - as I can't see how the bulk could be less with the same amount of fabric. If I find the video I'll share a link on your FB page. I'd never seen this triangle method before.
I've never heard of it but would be interested to see it too! Honestly though, I only store guest sheets, so there's very little space taken up by them. But yeah, pop a link on the Facebook page if you find it. Curious now!
I didn't even watch the other 2. The first one is so dang easy! Can't believe I never thought of it. I tried doing some weird holding it up by the corners thing and folding the corners into each other. It was a mess
Laura, if you haven’t found out yet, you can buy sheets - bottoms and tops - separately, not always in sets. And duvet covers can be found with good google search tools 🤣. Buying single sheets tends to be more expensive though unsure why. I feel much better knowing I’m not alone in the - no top sheets - debate. I fold by method #2, only owning two bottoms - one to use, one spare 😄
I use method 2 for guest sheets. If it's good enough for Martha Stewart... 😂 I'll keep an eye out for separates! Duvet covers so far have been disappointingly plain.
Yup, back on the bed is the easiest way to go. 😂 Added benefit of having no excuse to wash and put away clothes. If they're not washed and back on the bed, it's either sleep on dirty sheets, or sleep on none at all! 😂
I also just wash and put them back on the bed. Life is too short to fold fotted sheets. So, I see this "decluttering my fantasy self" video title in my feed. I wonder if you might do a video on that sometime?
When I worked in a hospital, the orderlies had a system of folding so that when you changed the sheets and put on the new ones, you never had to shake the sheet up into the air (disturbing dust and germs). You simply put the sheet in the middle of the bed and unfolded it and voila! The ends of the sheet aligned with the ends of the bed and all you had to do was wrap the corners. Do you know this method of folding? I sure would like to learn it.
ooo ... roll it into a ball and throw it in the closet. I hadn't thought of that one. That sounds the easiest, but I probably start doing the first method. The second method is too complicated.
My brain is weird. I can build a computer, work on a car, and properly format formulas in Excel, but I revert to 2 year old status with fitted sheets. I'll go with simpleton version #1 please. Thank you!
The “baby sheet” was for a twin bed. I used it for ease of demonstration so it would all fit in the camera frame and you could see everything. All the methods work on larger sheets too. I use the second one on our king sheet, for example.
Or, do it as I do: ball it up, shove it in the sham with the other sham. :) Folding sheets serves no purpose on my life, on the other hand, organizing socks by type and pairing them up does.
I was looking for a word for it and all it came was "fronha", I don't think sham is the first one I would use, but it was what I could find. Sometimes I am looking for a word in Portuguese and all I can find is English too. By the way, what is that you say in welsh at the end of the videos?
The 2nd method is complete horseshit with a king size sheet that isn’t somewhat stiff. Good luck lining up those two corners magically, if it was that easy the first two corners wouldn’t need to be manually aligned. Harry Potter level nonsense.
Like the 1st method and wish i had thought of that one decades ago! So easy and less struggle too. Thank you for this video!
You have no idea how many videos I have watched on how to fold a fitted sheet, and yours makes the most sense out of any of them! I was finally able to fold a fitted sheet! Thank you!
Wuhoo! That's brilliant!
This was the best I've seen. Some are bizarrely over-complicated. Thanks. Well done.
Delighted you found it helpful. 😁
I use the first method. Makes it easier.
Pretty easy alright. 😁
At LONG LAST the first video is THE BEST and now I can do this finally in my old age 😅
Yay! Delighted it was helpful. 🥰
It's very easy to listen to you. You have a great way of presenting your tips...simple & straight to the point. You don't over complicate each step or come across as better than anyone else.
Thank you. =)
The 1st demonstration works really well. Only took a couple of minutes. Thanks.
Thank You for this video. My saver tip is this. I fold the fitted and the flat and the extra pillow case and place them inside the matching pillow case. That way the sheet set stays together.
I do this too! I was going to share it in an upcoming video. 😁
How to Get Your Shit Together me too, although method #4 is my preferred MO
Absolutely. I only fold for the guest beds. Our own bed is re-dressed immediately after washing and drying.
Please do. #4 is our usual method. However, for my kiddos I am little more neater. I give them fresh from the cabinet sheets.
Only guests get bedclothes from the closet here. And that's only because after I wash them, I don't want to put them straight back on the bed or they'll just get dusty before other guests arrive.
Ha! Your way (the 3rd way shown in this video), is the best!! 🤣
Not quite as neat but certainly quick and easy. 😉
Thanks for giving more than one way. All the other videos I've found are your #2 and it never looks all that good when I get finished. I think I'm going to try the first method from now one. :)
The first method is the best! 😁
It's definitely a popular option!
Best video on how to fold it. Straight to the point 👍
Thanks so much. 😁 Hope it was helpful.
Genius! Another great little video - thanks, Laura!
You’re great ! ! ! 👵🏻🐾💕🇨🇦
Thank you so much for this video. I literally just folded a set of sheets today and said to myself, "I really need to watch one of those TH-cam videos on how to fold a fitted sheet," and BAM! There you are. The universe, man... whoa.
😂 Fate! 😉 Which method do you think you'll use?
I either do your option, or option #2. I didn't know folding fitted sheets was an issue until the internet told me so!
😂 If I have to fold, I use option 2 as well. But 99% of the time it just goes straight back on the bed.
Finally someone who makes sense...method 1is the easiest and quickest. Thanks.
You're very welcome. 🙂
I never grasped until now how my gran folds sheets 😂 thank-you (way 3). I fold way 2 and tried to explain to my bf.🤦This is the best description instructions ever, I'll just let you teach him.
Brilliant! ❤️♾️♾️
You are adorable! I love folding fitted sheets. Love your channel!
Thank you!
I love the ballerinas!!!!
My daughter's. I used her sheet because it was much smaller so easier to fit in the frame. 🙂
Thank 😂so. Much appreciated
Thank you so much for this video , you were the third video I watched and I was frustrated and ready to give up and roll it as per usual. Your first method saved the night even if not as smooth as yours :) I also prefer to just put it back in the bed, but on sheet rotation your tips will save me lots of space and frustration .
Hurray! Glad I could help. =)
I usually roll them up in a ball but I might give the first option a go 🤔
If you're happy rolling, stick with it. 😉
I wash them and put them back on the bed, like you mentioned! I have a spare pair of sheets for emergencies or for a change in color. But that is the easiest way! The first one you did looked the easiest way to fold. I might try that. Thank you!
Definitely easier to put them straight back on the bed. I only fold them for the guest beds but they're used infrequently so a lot less work for me overall. 😁
Big help thanks
You're awesome!!!! Thanks so much for these tips!
Thank YOU for watching. Delighted you found it helpful. 😁
I have one sheet set for each bed and one emergency flat sheet. Easy to fold!
👏
I've always done it the second way. I think it's very quick (I'm done in just a few seconds), very neat, and you don't need a big surface to lay it out on. I never knew there were other ways to do it 😂 We don't have a dryer so just putting them back on is seldom an option.

It definitely takes a few tries to get the hang of it. But once you do, it's actually quicker than the first way. 🙂
I watched even though I do option 4. I knew we had the best option, at least until it's time to do the winter flannels which is why I figured I better watch! Thanks!
Yeah, option 4 is definitely the way to go if you can. 😂 Hope it helps for the winter stuff though. 🙂
Thank you Ms. !!! You must be a great homemaker. Even I can do the first one -- I think!!! Ha.
I LIKE YOUR 4TH SUGGESTION ITS BETTER AND FAST
It's the one I'd recommend most. 😉
Great video, thank you.
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching. 🙂
Good tip...thanks much
You're very welcome. :D
Thank you 🌹1and 3 it's easy, 2 I tried many time but it's difficult and last trick is the best 👍 😂👍
The second is definitely the trickiest. Stick with the fourth one. 😉
The last Methodist the one I use!
Hee, hee. That should be method not Methodist. Autocorrect hates me!😂😂😂
Could do a video on super chunky/lumpy items that take up loads of space. I live in a cold climate so all my linens, sweaters, and hoodies are extra thick. I watch these videos and see people filling their drawers with beautiful rows of sweaters (long-sleeved shirts they call sweaters) and I can only fit like 3 of my sweaters in a full sized drawer.

Great tip! And given to us with your awesome sense of humor! I love watching your videos. You almost have me meditating LOL. Well. I sit quiet when I am upset at something that gaped during my day instead of snapping at my family is they dare speak to me or cry my eyes out. Sitting quietly is sort of like meditating , right?
Absolutely! Having the space to calm down and think your own thoughts is so important.
I'm also a fan of just wash dry and straight back on whilst still a bit warm 😁
Definitely the quickest and easiest!
Love your duvet cover, where can I find it? Thanks.
It's from Tahari Home. It's pretty old though so I'm not sure this particular pattern is available anymore.
Lol! I love this so much!! Why are they always such a pain to fold!! 😜
A small price to pay for them staying put on the bed. 😉
Wash, dry, back to the bed: the best way to "fold" sheets!
Works in this house. 😉
How to Get Your Shit Together I’ve always got some extra for short notice sheet changes
@@zoerassier7574 craft even
Absolutely, that is the way to do it! I so enjoy your channel!
Thank you.
You're very welcome. =)
Your bedding is so pretty!! I use the first method and just put them back on after the wash! I hate folding!
Yup, I put them straight back on too. Saves loads of time!
Back on the bed. That’s my typical plan too. Only ruined in bad weather when the sheets won’t dry on the line (I have no dryer) so I do try to plan my sheet washing around the weather report.

How to Get Your Shit Together . Thanks! oxoxo
Top I'm with you on option 4, straight back on the bed 👍
It's just so much easier, isn't it?
Lol thank you!!
You're very welcome. Hope it helps. 🙂
Totally method #2 - that's what I learned from Martha and you'll take that method from my cold dead hands. :)
Same! 😂
Lol my grandmother showed me the second way but it tends to get kinda messy but I'm a pro at it I just fold the fitted and then the flat and one pillow case then put all 3 in the 2nd pillow case to keep the sets together and fold down the flap on the pillow case for a smooth look but love the video
I put everything into a pillowcase to keep the sets together too. 😁
Thanks!
The first version was so simple and something I oughta have thought of but nope!(a). No more ball or oddly shaped heap of sheets:D
I did wonder why I even bothered showing the other two options after the first. 😂
@@HowToGYST I liked your first and third options best. I also very much enjoyed the way you present the video.
Thank you. :D
First way is so easy
I do the 2nd method. But, I've seen another method demonstrated by a hotel laundry guy. He folded the sheet like method 2 - but did a triangular pattern in the middle of his process that other say it lessens bulk.

That was the second one. 😂
Just a suggestion but I find it easier to have a pint of Guinness before I start.
Me too! Make it a double
I’ve tried many times to do the second method but I always end up with a ball.
Definitely going to try the first one.
It takes a bit of practice. I think the trick is to straighten as you go. But yeah, see how you get on with the first. 🙂
Laura, if you haven’t found out yet, you can buy sheets - bottoms and tops - separately, not always in sets. And duvet covers can be found with good google search tools 🤣.

Fourth way! Back on the bed! 😃 The first method looks good for if I have to fold... I am a baller which doesn't really care by nature.
Yup, back on the bed is the easiest way to go. 😂 Added benefit of having no excuse to wash and put away clothes. If they're not washed and back on the bed, it's either sleep on dirty sheets, or sleep on none at all! 😂
I’m rotfl because this video has had over 56,000 views! Folding a sheet! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Great job, btw!
No-one is more amused than me. 😂
Wash dry - back on the bed. BEST ONE.
Agreed. ;)
I always use the second way when a sheet is for 2 persons, because it always seems to big for option 1 and 3!
Agreed! I use it too for guest beds (queen). I used my daughter's sheet for this video because the size made it easier to fold and fit in the frame. 🙂
I also just wash and put them back on the bed. Life is too short to fold fotted sheets. So, I see this "decluttering my fantasy self" video title in my feed. I wonder if you might do a video on that sometime?
Rings a bell. I'll look into it! Thanks for the suggestion. 🙂
So you actually gave an extra tip, cool beans. "Just put it back on the bed" lol. If only it were always that easy.
Not always, no, but definitely the best option if you can. 😉
I tried to fold my own bed sheets myself according to the video but not as good without help
I'm sure you'll nail it with a bit of practice. 🙂
I have super king sized fitted sheets, not so easy to do 😜😜
THANK YOU!!!! I feel so silly for not thinking of the first way on my own.
I only came up with it when I was preparing for the video!
How to Get Your Shit Together I instantly feel more classy :)
Ha ha!

Do you know this method of folding? I sure would like to learn it.
I don't but it sounds brilliant!
@@HowToGYST Yeah, it's next level stuff. 🙂
Was that a cot sheet ?
No, a sheet for a twin bed. But would definitely work for a cot sheet too. 🙂
Ure wery cute😊
ooo ... roll it into a ball and throw it in the closet. I hadn't thought of that one. That sounds the easiest, but I probably start doing the first method. The second method is too complicated.
The "roll it into a ball" method is great if you have a basket. Then you can't even see it. 😂
My brain is weird. I can build a computer, work on a car, and properly format formulas in Excel, but I revert to 2 year old status with fitted sheets. I'll go with simpleton version #1 please. Thank you!
😂 We all have our stumbling blocks. Hope it makes your life a little easier. 😊
I've been doing the second method for years since I saw my Mum fold the sheets when I was 10.
I still fold them like that. I just can't help it.
That's how I fold the guest sheets too. 🙂
I'm going with the first way. I hate those things.
"go back straight to bed". that means you have only one fitted sheet in your home?!? no other color or different sheet in your closet?:-D
😂😂😂😂😂
?
I give up. I've listened to many demonstrations and nothing works for me.
Use a correct size sheet. A baby sheet does not compare.
The “baby sheet” was for a twin bed. I used it for ease of demonstration so it would all fit in the camera frame and you could see everything. All the methods work on larger sheets too. I use the second one on our king sheet, for example.
Well no sheet!
Or, do it as I do: ball it up, shove it in the sham with the other sham. :) Folding sheets serves no purpose on my life, on the other hand, organizing socks by type and pairing them up does.
😂 We each have our own little "thing". I didn't even know what a sham was until I moved to the States!
I was looking for a word for it and all it came was "fronha", I don't think sham is the first one I would use, but it was what I could find. Sometimes I am looking for a word in Portuguese and all I can find is English too. By the way, what is that you say in welsh at the end of the videos?
Meanwhile in reality.
You'd be surprised how many people fold their sheets. Just because it's not YOUR reality doesn't mean it isn't someone else's.
Can you do a hand job video? You seem thorough..
I think you're on the wrong site. 😋
The 2nd method is complete horseshit with a king size sheet that isn’t somewhat stiff. Good luck lining up those two corners magically, if it was that easy the first two corners wouldn’t need to be manually aligned. Harry Potter level nonsense.
I use the second method on our king size sheet just fine. 🪄😉
