You Look Like I Need a Drink

As a guy, folding my mattress cover after laundry day was quite a chore. With the corners and flaps sticking out, I used to just roll the mattress cover up under my arm in a ball and that was that. Today, I will share with you other clueless mattress folders how it can be done easily and quickly.
Step 1: Lay your mattress cover flat and pinch the corners until you have a rectangular shape. The mattress cover should resemble some odd looking elongated donut.

Step 2: Bring your pinched corners together but do not line them up.

Step 3: Here is the tricky part. With the pinched corners next to each other, take the bottom corner and slide it under the pouch of the top corner.

Step 4: If you have followed the instructions so far, your mattress cover should look something like this. If it looks slightly sloppy, do not fear, for we still have a few more steps and in the end you will have bragging rights.

Step 5: Now fold as you would normally fold. Those sneaky mattress cover flaps don't stand a chance.

DONE! Quite painless I must admit. Shout outs to Liz for showing me this trick.
