Wow. My wicked step mother knows how to fold fitted sheets so that they look just like they came from the manufacturer. Right now it's not an issue for me. I only have 1 set of sheets for my king size bed. They are 1,200 count thread that I bought from Sam's club 6 years ago. Have used them every day since. Wash them once a week and back on the bed they go. They are SO AWESOME - feels like sleeping on velvet. I will probably have to be committed when they finally wear out!!!
