All you need is this step-by-step guide to folding a fitted sheet and you'll be on your way to linen cupboard heaven.

I I must try this method again as I always got in a terrible muddle! You make it look easy. What I do is put the sheet face down on the bed and fold the edges over towards the middle all the way round. I then fold the sheet into halves then quarters, keeping the edges inside the folded fitted sheets .
