You have saved a marriage! The look on my wife's face when she found the sheet screwed up in a ball and stuffed into the wardrobe was chilling. I have just presented her with a perfectly folded sheet and she have never been more proud of me! Thank you
as a former technical writer/editor who is facing year 80 as my next birthday, i commend jen hunter for explaining each of these steps in clear, concise, language. maybe during; the last decades of my life, my fitted sheets willl no longer end up a huge wad stuffed in my drawer.
Wow. This is the only method I’ve tried that actually works. Thanks!
As a current barista who is facing into the official quarter of my life, 25, I commend her as well. I will no longer end up shoving a huge wad that is my bed sheet into anything it can fit in.

I'm a teacher, and I have to say there are objective pedagogical reasons why this tutorial is better than the first three I watched, lol.
For instance:
1. You use a fitted sheet that clearly shows which sides are the inside (white) and outside (green). This allows us as learners to see at all times which part of the sheet you're touching.
2. You use multiple camera angles! This is very helpful for visual learners (like myself) because it shows first-person views and adds second angles to clarify depth and movement.
3. You anticipate which sections are confusing and/or difficult and preemptively choose to show those sections twice. This is so helpful because it anticipates your learners' needs and struggles.
10/10 video; thanks so much!
As a visual learner I wholeheartedly agree with your comment 🙌 thid is the third tutorial I watched
Completely agree
FINALLY!!! A flat sheet folding video that actually explains it the best.
Took the words right out of my mouth. I watched 5 other videos before getting to this one.
Right
I'm obviously missing something, as I've also watched a ton of videos and can't make ANY of them work in practice.
At last someone who knows how to instruct! As a recently widowed guy who has not properly folded a fitted sheet in 50 years I really appreciate this great video! Best one ever!! Saving it for when I forget by next laundry day. And I will forget! 😉
This is the best video for this frustrating task. I like that you talk and repeat so I can follow along without pausing.
This is probably the best video so far on how to fold a fitted sheet. The instructions are so easy to follow and very clear. Love that you repeat the steps as well for clarification. Amazing job! 🎉👏
Thank you 🙂
I cannot tell you what a silly thrill it was, at the age of 70, to have folded a fitted sheet tonight for the first time in my life.
And this is after screaming in frustration at previous videos that ran through it as though you already KNEW how to fold it! ( I also started suggesting to myself that, *Dennis, you're just not a visual learner"... I backed away from that.)
God bless you woman, you're the first one to instruct us as though we did not already know how to FOLD the sheet!
Thank you so much. 😘 ❤️😘
This video should win the Academy Award in the Instructional Short category. When I made the attempt using a flat surface, I was pleased with my long overdue progress. Still not there yet, but practice makes perfect. Thank you!
You need so much more recognition because no one is as detailed as you everyone else does it as fast as they can barely explaining anything but you made it easy to see and understand
I'm 75 and this is the first time I've understood how to do this. Your explanation is much clearer than others I've seen. Thank you.
IT'S TRUE! This is the only video that has the clearest instructions on how to do something, that once you know how, is remarkably simple. Love the split angle, the top down view and how they repeat the instructions. Thanks for making this video.
THANK YOU!! Finally someone who shows easy to follow steps!
Great video! I watched a few, and could never quite figure it out - they're all too quick! This video is very patient and allowed me to do it alongside the video. Thank you!
i’m 12 and i wanted to surprise my dad by cleaning the house, there was a fitted sheet laying on the table so i tried to fold it, i tried like 4 videos, and picture instructions, this is the one that definitely helped the most!!
it’s 4:42 AM i’ve been trying to fold this sheet for 40 minutes.
Thank you for taking your time, repeating steps and being clear and concise. This is THE BEST video on UA-cam for learning how to fold fitted sheets into something workable 🙏🏻
OMYGODFINALLY!!! I watched five videos ten times each before I found this one.
Tell me about it! 🧐
Same
I gave up after watching others on only 3 times 😁. This one makes more sense.
Just brilliant. So clearly explained. The quality of New York Times professional staff shines through.
She talks so nicely it almost makes me believe I could do this 😊
I observe how you do the folds, follow and got it right. You make it look easy and it is indeed easy (to my surprise). Thank you for making the process easy. I appreciate you!
This is still black magic, but by and far the best instructions I have found so far.
35 years & finally proper instruction presented clearly. 1 more crossed off bucket list. U r brilliant & gifted in instruction. LEAD THE WAY!!
I've watched like 6 videos. This is the only one that gave me the instructions to succeed. Thank you so much!
NONE of the videos out explain it well, I’ve been refolding this dumb sheet for 30 minutes. This is the only video that should be allowed on UA-cam, thank you 🙏🏽
This is the best and clearest explanation thus far!!! Thank you very much!!
FINALLY!!! No more fitted sheets crumpled into a ball and chucked across the room! My sheets thank you! 💖
I’m a guy, this is the only video that I could follow and the end result was mind blowing thank you very much!🙏
Thank you so much! I've tried all the other videos showing how to fold fitted sheets standing up and I could never get it right. First of all, they go too fast. Secondly, I'm 5'3" and have queen sized sheets so this table-top method worked out perfectly for me.
Whoopi!!!! I did it!! I can't believe it!! I am 59 years old and have never been able to do this!!! I am so excited!!! Thank you so much!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
I'm usually 6-8 tries when following videos with multiple steps. Your instruction was perfect, got this in two! Thank you.
I am a cleaner and I have struggled so much with fitted sheets!! 😂
I’ve looked at so many tutorials and this one is a winner.
You show everything nicely and explain it very clearly thank you so much!
This was the 4th video I watched. Other techniques were confusing. This one had the best results. Brilliant.
Fitted sheet folding will never again be a source of aggravation and frustration only to end up with a mess in my linen closet, THANK YOU!!
Dawg why is this on his playlist 💀
cause he couldn’t ask his mum (that’s also why I’m here)
I agree with so many other comments.... after watching at least 5 vids before your video.... your method was the easiest to follow along! You got me so excited... I took out all of my fitted sheets in my shelf closets and re-folded all of them. LOL. So thanks again for your thoroughness and easy to follow steps!!! :-)
😂that was me too watching other vids onto I got to her one😇
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! Finally, at age 60 I can fold my fitted sheets. This step-by-step is very easy to follow and it actually works. I cant believe I waited so long, but better late than never. Excellent job on this video, I got it on the first try. Thanks again, Content in Colorado! 😊
Such a good video, great explanation, simple steps, good visuals from the perspective of the folder, and well timed replays
This is the only tutorial on this that doesn't feel like steps have been skipped, thank you!
Thank you very much. I watched some videos before and never could understand how to fold the sheet. Your video was the one that taught me how to. Thank you so much!
Needed to make my bedding for the big truck take as little space in my duffel as possible (yes, how things are folded directly impacts how much space they occupy), finally got pissed off and looked up a tutorial. Found this video. Arcane knowledge acquired, my duffel now actually closes. Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us
My God... after watching 10 videos trying to figure this out.. this is the first one where there is a decent explanation offered on each step.. thankyou!!
This is the first video that was clear and slow enough for me to make sense out of it. Thanks a million!!!
These instructions are so clear and at the right speed to follow along. Absolutely the best video for learning how to do it. I used to teach elementary school art and I have done origami with a room full of 6 years olds. This is exactly how to teach folding. I'm so happy that I finally found your video.
I'm so excited that I know how to fold a fitted sheet now! Thanks for explaining it so well!
Thank you for your patience and clarity! You truly made my day lol
Best video hands down on how to fold a fitted sheet. This is the only video that I was able to follow along and achieve success! You get a star 🌟 😄
Great video! It helps a lot using a sheet with an obvious right and wrong side. Thank you so much.
Thank you Jen for helping me fold my first fitted sheet ever 👍Turned out perfect !
48 yr old male here who always either let my lady fold the fitted, or balled it up and shoved it in the drawer when single. Now that I've met The One, I cursed and struggled thru 4 videos til I found yours. Thank you!!!
I love your meticulous instruction, such as inside out, because this matters a lot! Thank you again!
I l watched two other videos before this over five times each and was in tears with how I couldn’t get it. I gave up and found this one and got it the first try and didn’t have to watch the video more than once. Thank you!
Thank you! This is third video on the topic I watched and the only decent one. Very helpful and clear without being overlong.
I’ve seen several videos and this is the only one that didn’t make me go insane! Thank you!!
You blew me away ! I subscribed ! Merci beaucoup from France !
Best method. Thank you for sharing.
This is THE ONLY VIDEO that I can understand and do!!!
You saved me at my hotel job! Thank you!
I guarantee this is mostly aimed at guys. THANK YOU. And the soothing music made me just chill enough enjoy folding my linens. ;)
To echo many other's comments...after watching several tutorial videos, this is the first "teaching" video that I actually was able to follow and learn from. It will take awhile until I am proficient, of course, but at least I'm on the right track. Thank you!
Love this and definitely loved the "let's do that again". Tried a couple other methods but this video made it much easier. Thank you!
I watched lot many videos for this procedure but this one is the best ! A big thanks !👌👍❤️
This video is amazing. I was packing my luggage and this was extremely useful and saved me from the famous stuffed ball of sheet. Thank you so much, I wish you all the best!
Wow!!! Thank You!! I was living in ignorance all these years! I just folded six of'em...and they fit neatly into the drawer.....beautiful....you've made a little dent in the universe...
Other than changing the camera shot right at the instant she starts folding in thirds, this is the best vid on the subject!
Fantastic!!! A much-needed directorial on folding a fitted sheet
Now that I finally know how to fold fitted sheets thanks to this video, I took out all my sheets and re-folded them like so, and now they look tidy and perfect! Thank you SO much for this vid! =D It's simpler than it looks too! Now I finally know how to put fitted sheets away nicely!
I come back to this video every time. Love it, good stuff!
I was determined to learn to fold fitted sheets today - tried a few others demonstration videos and failed... finally succeeded using this one. thanks
Thank you so much for this video. After watching it several times, I have finally conquered the dreaded fitted sheet!!!🏆🥳🎉
Thank you so much. I followed your directions and I got it. Good job!
Thank you so much! The best explanation ever! Able to follow in one move 🎉
So helpful. Video is well done and easy to follow!
This is the clearest explanation I've seen so far! Good Job!
Finally I done😊. Thank you ! I watched more videos. But this is the best. Good Explanation❤
Finally! a great and easy explained video. Thanks!
This is definitely the best video I've seen on how to fold a fitted sheet. Going through the steps nice and slow with clear directions. Literally every other video I've seen just somehow doesn't make it clear
FINALLY! A video showing how to actually do this. Thank you very much.
Brilliant! Easy to follow and very clear.
I feel such a sense of accomplishment! What a great video!
THIS IS THE BEST FREAKING VIDEO !!!!! I had to go through 3 of em just to do it right. THANK YOU
Thank you, Internet. Thank you, Jen.
Looks so easy. I never end up with a square. After 5 videos (yours was the best) and 18 attempts the sheet is no longer a ball but it does not look like your neatly folded fitted sheet. It was either put it away as-is or cut it up.
This video needs to be higher up in the Google algorithm as it is the only video to contain all the necessary steps to complete this task.
Thanks for slowing down and explaining it simply. Now to the dryer for a test run😁
pockets into mini pockets, and mini pocket into MEGA POCKET, and then fold! very niceee
Thank you. The only video that really made is simple to fold a fitted sheet. CONGRATS!
I was a bit overwhelmed initially but I tried it and it was easy and works so well. THANK YOU!!
This is the only video that’s made any sense to me out of the 4 I just watched, so thank you
FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY‼️SOMEONE WHO SHOWS HOW TO DO IT THE BEST🎉 THANK YOU SOOO MUCH😊
Very good tutorial. Thank you. I've been trying to figure it out for years
Awesome!! Great video!
Very easy to follow! Thanks!
Your video is the best!!!!! Thanks
Sadly I’ve watched many of these videos and still can’t fold a fitted sheet. This one is the best I’ve seen. My hope is renewed. 😅
God bless you! Yours was the third video I tried and I finally succeeded. The other two left me with a tangled mess!
Thank you so so much! I finally folded a fitted sheet successfully. Other videos made me lose motivation in even trying lol. With your tutorial, I felt like "yes, today is the day" hahaha
Best method yet , thank you
Yasssssss I DID IT!!! FINALLY!!!!! Thank you
Thank you! You just lowered my blood pressure 😂
THANK YOU!!! I FINALLY GOT IT!!! .... this video was awesome 😊😊
