    I have yet to understand what people find difficult about this. I’m far from being good as housework, but this never gave me an issue - just bend the mattress a little, boom. Maybe US mattresses and sheets are somehow more difficult?

          yeah but I have to walk around to the other side of the bed to reach the other top corner

          that’s a long walk for a guy who just carried an arm load of lightweight sheets up two flights of stairs, like let’s have realistic expectations here

          Some people put their full size bed against the wall and have a mattress thicker than the fitted sheet is meant for

            I still don’t understand what difference it makes when the bed is against the wall. “full size” mattresses aren’t harder to bend enough for fitted sheets than small mattresses, unless they’re also thicker, which AFAIK isn’t the norm.

      So you grab the elastic part and shake it out by that. Then try to find the seem. The fold it once or twice, now you roll and ball the rest of it up and cram it in the cabinet before it unrolls.

      I actually finally learned how to do this at 42 years of age, and I was so happy. Problem is now I can’t tell a normal sheet from a fitted sheet when they’re folded.

      Fold in half > nest the pockets > fold into quarters > nest the pockets > flatten out as much wrinkling from the pocket as possible> fold rest of way like a flat sheet

    Especially if you’re using those suspender strap clips that you need to lift up the mattress for to clip them on. I feel ya.
