You need to fold the fitted sheet carefully to create nice clean lines. I like taking a few seconds to create pointed corners out of my fitted sheet before I start folding; you can use the corner seams to find the corner, and flatten it out for a sharper corner than you’d usually get when you fold fitted sheets.
You can do this method super quickly, but taking a second to press out the fabric nice and flat at each step to get a sharp line on the sides and less air (and loose fabric) in the middle will get you closer to a perfect rectangle than a quick fold will. One editor even uses an iron on her sheets to get them nice and flat.
Also, cut yourself some slack! Keep in mind the fabric of the sheets that you’re folding. More structured sheets like percale can be a little easier to hold in place as you fold them, while softer sheets like bamboo and synthetic nylon can feel like you’re…
