Best ways to fold bedding?
I decided that trying to keep sets together simply hasn't worked for us. With little kids who have accidents and love to pull their sheets off to play with, elements of the sets get changed and thus washed at different times, so I think being able to easily choose something that coordinates will be good, when a match is not available.
Apologies for the poor quality pictures, but you can see how I've split them. Next stage is to (iron and) refold everything to fit better. Do you think using a folding form cut to fit the drawer (for the pillowcases) and cupboards would help? Any other suggestions?

Elaine on Sep 04, 2016Fold the sheets lengthwise twice, then roll them up. They fit better and are easier to see.Helpful Reply

Lisa on Sep 04, 2016Not sure this would work for you, but what I do is take the fitted sheet, the flat sheet, and however many pillow cases you need and put them inside a matching pillow case and you have a neat square...This way they are all the same size and do not come unfolded...If you have extras that don't make sets, I put them on another shelf for use for accidents or kids playing...Hope this helps.Helpful Reply

Judy on Sep 04, 2016I use the zip-up bags that you get when you buy sheet sets, etc. I put complete sets (top, fitted and matching pillow cases) in the bags and stack by size. Odd sheets get sorted by being fitted or flat and size and then stack all the odd flats in one bag, odd pillowcases in another bag, etc. Label in case the pile gets flipped.Helpful Reply

Rynn on Sep 06, 2016Here is an idea I am going to try on a bunch of stored comforters. I bought a pack of LARGE bands ( cheap- maybe $3 for a large pack) used to hold on trash can liners, and i am going to roll up the laundered comforters and slip a band or two around them to keep them tightly rolled like a sleeping bag.Helpful Reply
