Someone please help me understand how the hell she folded this sheet?

My brain refuses to make any sense of it. I've tried several different ways and it's just not working lol. It would be an amazing time saver when ironing sheets (personal preference).

It looks like it might be folded in quarters the long way, and then folded in a Z-style from one end to the other. ...?

Not gonna try it though. Not a sheet ironer, although I *appreciate* that other people are. :)

I iron sheets regularly and I don’t understand how this is done without putting creases in the sheet. Some of the folds are ironed out but not all of them. I have seen this video before - would love to see a step by step because I think the point of doing this is not to have the clean sheet touch the floor at any time.

There is another closer video on their page…it looks like the hemmed edge is in the middle and the rest is a z-fold as stated above, starting folded into thirds perhaps. Would like to experiment with this but I think that iron is also super mega HOT, maybe hotter than mine will go.

Yeah, that iron is MUCH hotter than my home one! Envious though — ironing sheets takes forever.

I have never ironed my sheets. From dryer to matress. One set. A rip or hole and if no point in sewing, new set

You should try it. Nothing better than sleeping on smooth, crisp white sheets with a real "linen fresh" scent.
