Heck yeah. You have more room in your trunk/drawer/shelf when everything's folded up neat and tidy.

I have used the quarter sheet fold method for my fitted sheets for decades. Mom taught me that particular witchcraft.

This was way more entertaining than I expected a laundry folding guide to be.

Lol no.

Who are we trying to impress with how un-creased are sheets briefly are before we sleep on them? Ourselves? We're much too smart to be impressed by something so irrelevant.

What the hell are you guys talking about?

The half-pinned crossover slip method is clearly the simplest.

KonMari technique has been passed down through generations in my clan. Only the best folders are allowed to compete for the Shogun title.

I think the joke is they have a single set.

  1. That's not a fitted sheet reaper. It's... Something else.
  2. This article follows the same method as the Martha Stewart video I learned to fold from many moons ago. Normally I despise video tutorials, but given the hard-to-describe dimensionality of a fitted sheet, I find the video much easier to follow. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-a2FR1iwqg

And even moreso, when everything is folded in the same way, using the same method!

Flat, and fitted, and a comforter makes a set of sheets.

Hell no. Not folding. Stuff everything into one pillow case. Shove it onto top shelf of bathroom closet.

The only way to fold a fitted sheet is to roll it into a ball and throw it onto the back corner of a shelf where no one can see it.

If you have one flat sheet and one fitted sheet, I'd say you have 2 sets of sheets. You don't put them both on at the same time, do you?

Also comforters are surely not sheets?

I use the Buddha's Palm that Falls from the Heavens to straighten my sheets.

I can’t imagine how you’re getting fitted sheets to turn into a crumpled mess more often than flat sheets.

I hate fitted sheets. They're ugly, impractical and always wrinkled. They never feel properly cleaned and always look untidy, even straight from the wash. Generally a horrible invention. My preferred way to store them is in a dumpster burned to cinder.
