My wife can fold a fitted sheet so well that it is indistinguishable from a flat sheet when it is on the laundry shelf. This drives me nuts as I then can’t easily select a pair without a fair bit of unfolding, which kind-of defeats the purpose. My system of screwing the fitted sheet into a ball after a few minutes of frustration, works to better identify the fitted ones.

Who cares when you stuff them in a drawer? Not me at least.

They get all wrinkly when you don’t fold them properly.
I never got the whole “OMG fitted sheets are just like soooo hard!1!!one!” meme. Just watching a YouTube tutorial and a tiny bit of practice was enough for me. Yes they are slightly more effort than a standard sheet but it’s really not that hard.
Next, you can master hospital corners.

I do it slightly different, but yes, my mom taught me how to do this like 30 years ago.

Wrinkles are a problem?
I mean…by definition they’re fitted so they stretch out across the mattress. Result: wrinkles disappear.
Not to mention…they’re sheets. You sleep on them. Who cares if they’re wrinkled?

I like sheets like I like my women. Flat and stiff. (/s… I much prefer fluffy and lumpy.)

What’s next? Is she going to tell me how to never lose my socks pairs?
But I also must say, how is this living on a dime? Are you really spending all your money paying the help to fold your sheets?

The only difference in the technique I use is that I only fold the sheets enough to slide them into one of the pillow cases. Much easier to keep matched sets together.

If you are living on a dime, chances are the sheets go back on the bed after washing, not in a closet.
