With their elastic edges and odd shape, it&#8217;s easy to end up with a messy, wrinkled pile. But fear not, with a little bit of practice and the right technique, you can master the art of folding fitted sheets in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 1: Shake it out Before you begin folding, give the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/silk-bed-linen\/fitted-silk-sheets.html\" title=\"\">silk fitted sheet<\/a> a good shake to remove any wrinkles or creases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 2: Create corners Take one of the shorter edges of the sheet and slip your hand into the corner. Then, tuck that corner into the corner on the opposite side, creating a pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/silk-bed-linen\/fitted-silk-sheets.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/luxury-silk-fitted-sheet-0324-2.jpg\" alt=\"pure silk fitted sheets\" class=\"wp-image-11197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/luxury-silk-fitted-sheet-0324-2.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/luxury-silk-fitted-sheet-0324-2-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/luxury-silk-fitted-sheet-0324-2-768x452.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/luxury-silk-fitted-sheet-0324-2-102x60.jpg 102w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 3: Repeat with the other corners Repeat this process with the other shorter edge of the sheet. You should now have two corners tucked into each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 4: Flip the sheet Lay the sheet down flat on a surface and adjust the corners so they lay flat and neat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 5: Tuck in the edges Take the edge of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/silk-bed-linen\/fitted-silk-sheets.html\" title=\"\">luxury silk fitted sheet<\/a> that is closest to you and tuck it inside the pocket created by the two corners. Then, tuck the other edge inside as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/silk-bed-linen\/fitted-silk-sheets.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/luxury-silk-fitted-sheet-0324-3.jpg\" alt=\"luxury silk fitted sheets\" class=\"wp-image-11198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/luxury-silk-fitted-sheet-0324-3.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/luxury-silk-fitted-sheet-0324-3-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/luxury-silk-fitted-sheet-0324-3-768x452.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/luxury-silk-fitted-sheet-0324-3-102x60.jpg 102w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 6: Fold it up Fold the sheet in half vertically, tucking any excess fabric into the pockets created by the corners. Then, fold the sheet in half again horizontally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 7: Final touches Smooth out any wrinkles or creases, and adjust the corners so they are neat and tidy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congratulations, you have successfully folded a fitted sheet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To make the process easier, try folding the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/silk-bed-linen\/fitted-silk-sheets.html\" title=\"\">pure silk fitted sheets<\/a> immediately after it comes out of the dryer when it is still warm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you&#8217;re short on space, try folding the sheet into thirds instead of halves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Practice makes perfect &#8211; don&#8217;t get discouraged if your first few attempts aren&#8217;t perfect.
