Everyone knows that a fitted sheet – i.e. the kind that has elastic around the edges – is the superior sheet style. Our T3best bed sheetguide includes both flat and fitted sheets, but I’m assuming all sensible people are discarding the flat sheets entirely. Fitted sheets are not only far, far easier to put on the bed, but they also pull your sheet flat, and won’t displace themselves at the slightest movement, leaving you lying on yourmattress protector, or even just your baremattress.
In fact, I don’t know if I’ve ever really tried to fold a fitted sheet. But there’s a folding hack doing the rounds on TikTok that promises to finally make sense of this scenario – and it looks like it might just be doable. The technique comes fromTheFoldingLady. So that’s a good sign right there. Although I guess that might not actually be her real name. The main steps are as follows:
1. Line up the elasticated edges

2. Square them off
She then pulls the two side edges so they’re vertical, and pulls and folds the top edge so it makes a horizontal line across the two. Now you’ve got rough rectangle to work with.
