Important information... How to fold a fitted sheet

Ok, despite sharing our “how to fold a fitted sheet” secrets with you in a past newsletter, we’re still getting emails of distress asking us for tips on how to fold a fitted sheet.

Now, pay attention, we’re guarding these words of wisdom like it’s the recipe for coca-cola and putting them straight back into the Bear & Duck safe.

Folding a fitted sheet so it sits nice and flat has the same degree of difficulty as nailing an inward one-and-a-half somersault with two twists off a three-metre springboard…

However, with our instructions there is no longer any excuse for your fitted sheets to be rolled up in a crumpled ball at the back of the linen closet. Follow these easy steps and you’ll be thoroughly qualified to work with the rest of the packers in the Bear & Duck sheet-folding room. These instructions are for right handers so do the opposite if you’re left handed.

1. Hold the sheet inside out by two adjacent corners of one end. Position your hands inside each of the corners.



2. Envelope your left hand corner with your right hand corner. With your right hand, pick up the corner that is hanging down in front and fold it over the two corners in your left hand.



3. Pick up the last corner and fold it over the three corners. The sheet will now be right side out.



4. Lay the folded sheet on a flat surface so you can straighten it and tuck in the elastic as you go



5. Fold the sheet into a rectangle and then fold it up until it is the size you require.



6. You now have a perfectly folded fitted sheet. Well done!
