The elastic corners of a fitted sheet can make folding awkward. This guide adapts the Good Housekeeping Institute method of nesting corners before folding a neat rectangle. The cover photograph shows a sheet being put on a bed, not the folding process. Always follow the fabric care label and start with a fully dry sheet.

1. Dry the sheet completely and lay it out on a wide bed or work surface. Do not store it while damp.
2. Hold two corners with the long edge across your body, keeping the elastic edges facing consistently.
3. Tuck one corner pocket into the opposite corner. Repeat with the other two corners to make two nested pairs.
4. Nest both pairs together so all four corners meet. Place the sheet on a flat surface and smooth it into an approximate rectangle.
5. Fold the outer sides inward in thirds, then fold again across the shorter direction. Smooth gently to even out the thickness.
6. Store the folded sheet in a clean, dry drawer or shelf. Keeping matching pillowcases nearby makes the set easier to find.
