Folding fitted sheets is a PITA, but being obsessive about such things, I've come up with a way that works pretty well and consistently.
Fold the sheet in half and line up all of the corner pockets. Tuck the corners in so that the elastic edge forms a sort of pocket. With the centre fold facing you, and the elastic pocket at the top, fold the sides in until they align with the edges of the corners. Then just fold the whole works in thirds horizontally and vertically. You'll end up with a fitted sheet folded the same size as your flat sheet with all the bulky corner bits hidden in the middle.
I know this explanation doesn't make any sense when it's written down. You have to see it to make sense of it.
