Ours go right back on the bed.

I do this too, for the spare ones. But for the ones I use, really, I take them off, wash and dry, and put them right back on the bed. No folding required!

Yes, I fold my sheets and pillowcases. I remember ironing them when I was a lot younger. Lucky for me they had invented permanent press by the time I got married. No more ironing sheets and pillowcases.

Mine are always folded otherwise I could never fit them into my small linen shelf.

But, this begs the question- is there a fancy way to do it that we should be aware of?

I just fold in half, fold in half again, etc, until it's square enough to fit my shelf.

Me too!!

straight from bed to washer and back. i do have an extra set i dont use much. it is folded neatly and put in the pillow case. keeps the majority clean and then i only wash one pillowcase.

How I fold fitted:

slip a corner pocket, right side out, over my right hand. (because I start making the bed with this corner)

with the left hand, bring an adjacent pocket, slip it over the one on the right hand. repeat twice more, moving the same direction on the sheet.

fold down the sheets sides, the same sides as the group of pockets.

You now have a basic rectangle. Procede with folding as needed.

I iron and fold and I'm a grandma!

Ditto to quiltmouse. I always fold if they are not going back on the bed. Sure like my microfiber ones for winter. toasty warm even when getting into bed on cold nights.
