Making the bed [Foxes in Love]

Putting them back on the bed is easy; it's folding them for later that's black magic fuckery

Mine actually tells you on the tag itself.

Beds should just be square.

Funny, mine are at the top left corner.

What? people fold them?

I store mine as a big ball in a dedicated bin.

[monkdervierte@lemmy.ml]

Storing? They're on the bed or in the washing machine.

There is actually a very good technique for it, but I keep forgetting it, or messing it up

[jadensmith@sh.itjust.works]

I swear I've seen the exact same YouTube video tutorial on how to fold them multiple times, incorporated it into my routine, only to forget the technique entirely within a day or two.

It is almost as if a wizard is preventing us from remembering this skill. what does it meeeaaan

You only have 1 sheet?

[madbob@feddit.nl]

Fitted sheets are a sign of civilisation's hubris.

[the_tab_key@lemmy.world]

Fitted sheet, other sheet, and one pillow case all get stored inside the other pillow case, none folded.

[darkassassin07@lemmy.ca]

Sometimes I was too lazy to finish my laundry today, but now I need bedding... Take out the spare sheet and suffer re-folding the one that's in the washing, tomorrow.

Pro Tip: put the sheet on opposite corners first. Bottom left corner, then top right corner

This keeps tension on the sheet and prevents it from slipping off while you're finishing the other 2 corners

[ephera@lemmy.ml]

Here's what I do:

1. Place sheet upside-down on bed (or sufficiently large surface).
2. Make sure the elastic bits don't hang off the side.
3. Slide hands under the elastic bits and push out the four corners, so you have a roughly mattress-sized rectangle.
4. Grab two of the corners and fold the whole thing onto the other two corners, so that the elastic bits are contained inside.
5. Now you can continue folding in half, like you'd fold anything else.
