    I suspect that people in YouTube videos are using a super-thin material that folds down thinner.

    Unfortunately, they don’t seem to make “fitted” sheets any more. At least I don’t think “fits from 8” to 20" constitutes a fitted sheet. Unless you have a mattress 20" thick. Anything less means having to retuck the corners every day.

    It’s very easy to do. Grab all the corners, bring together, lay flat. Fold in half, roll in a ball, carry upstairs and make bed.

    It used to be doable on the older sheets that had only the corners elasticized. The newer ones have elastic on all sides and they can’t be folded. I just try to shape it best I can into a small rectangle

    you fold fitted sheets like a regular sheet. You just use the top of the corner as the actual corner with the rest hanging inside.

    As young man between band gigs I sometimes worked for my landlady, who owned a commercial laundry (which she was quite capable of operating alone, but would give us poor starving hippies work whenever we needed it). Her main account was the bed linens for a local hotel, and she taught me how to fold a fitted sheet perfectly.

    I forgot how decades ago, and am back to rolling them…….

    OK, kids, listen up: You take the fitted sheet and spread it on something — a bed or, if you have one, a big table — upside down. Then you make sure the corners are squared flat. Then you fold the thing. It isn’t as flat as when you buy it, but it’s flat. Why fold it? Because the linen closet is a lot easier to navigate when the stuff in it is flat. And no, I don’t have an engineering degree or experience in the clothing-folding industry. I just figured it out after many years of frustration. One advantage of getting very, very old.

    Ok, here is how you fold fitted sheets. I will only explain this once. First you take the sheets out of the dryer. Second you pull out all the clother that gets twisted into the corners. Third, now listen carfully, you ball it up and throw it into the linen closet. Easy-peasy.

    I can fold one up into a flat shape that will fit reasonably well into my linen closet. Is it perfect, like it just came out of the package? Of course not. Do I want to waste time and effort on such a project? Of course not.
