I don't know but my laundry guys used to manage it.
Try buying a new one and note carefully as you open it.
Put your first fingers in the corner of the sheet 'pocket' at the end of the seams on the UNDERSIDE on both sides.
Put the tips of your fingers together (your fingers will be on the underside of the sheet and the elastic corners will be at your wrist) and flip your wrist up to move the 'elastic corner' over and on top of the other sheet, without moving your fingertips.
This makes a 'square' shaped corner Now, the sheet can basically be folded like a flat sheet!
Do the same with the other end.
Pixiechick--they have special little elves that do that at the factory. Then they cast a magic spell on them so that you can NEVER, no matter HOW HARD YOU TRY get them to even resemble the nice, neat package they were when you bought them! I, too, have tried to learn this. It involves tucking something into something else, but I'm lost from there, and would like to choke anyone who can actually do it.
I agree with the suggestions to check out Martha Stewart's way. With a little practice you will get it.
Oh, and it helps to fold your sheets soon after they come out of the dryer. The more wrinkled they get the harder it is.
start with one corner first, then go round clockwise,
Never anti clockwise as the bed will probably explode !!
Never try all corners simultaneously as its quite a silly strategy
it worked for me the third time round, but I had to get two new beds and repaint the bedroom after the first two explosions.
I learned the hard way, but as for you... you are lucky you found me
Martha Stewart has a video on her web site someplace on how to do it quickly and easily.
Once you get the technique it does actually work.
Try her site or YouTube. Search for sheet folding or something similar.
to have the right size mattress which is really hard, you can buy those stretchy things that can tighten up your corners,
Hold the sheet widthwise and point your index fingers into the corners of the sheet.
Bring your fingertips together and match them exactly.
Turn one of the sheet corners over the other.
Put the sheet on a flat surface.
Turn the corners on the bottom over.
Fold the sheet into a rectangle.
Continue to fold until the sheet is the size you want it to be.
for the easiest explanation lets pretend the bed it a car. take the drivers side of the sheet and neatly fit the fitted ends into the passenger side of the sheet;
then do the same with the front end into the back end,
then fold over one or two more times keeping the edges in the middle of the fold so it stays looking neat.
There is a way to do it, and I know how to do it. I just hope I can explain it well enough for you to try it!
First off, it takes two people to fold. Each person takes two corners. While facing each other, straighten out the sheet, and put a hand in the underside of each corner. Make sure you're standing stand far enough apart. (The sheet should be stretched but it doesn't have to be perfectly taut.) From underneath, put your right index finger into the corner seam in your right hand. Your partner will put his/her left index finger into the corner seam of his/her left hand. With your left hand (your partner's right) you lift the left side of the sheet (partner's right), flipping it inside out, and place that corner on top of the right corner (corners should be resting on top of your index fingers). Then you have a narrow, rectangular sheet that can be folded like any other.
It's really quite simple. Put your hand into the seam of one of the corners. Add on top the next one down the side. Take your other hand and do the same with the opposite end. Now you should have two corners on each hand. Fold one hands corners over onto the other one. Now you have all four corners folded over one hand. Fold in the sides until you have a square - keep folding half over half until you have a nice, folded square. Here's a link with pictures:

I am with you...Martha Stewart showed it on her show one day, and I still can't do it!!
Martha Stewart had this segment on her show one day. She made it look simple enought, however, either I simply missed something or I'm a total dunce. I still can't fold properly.
I wish I knew haha good luck
put it with the hog dog/bun packaging controversy and the meaning of life...
It's simple. Just fold it the same way you fold a road map
Sure! Just fold it into a square and tuck the corners inside each other, smooth it out and continue folding.
