Frequency of bed linen changes?

How often does everyone change bed linen?

I have a bit of a thing about it. I do them weekly at the moment and when I win the lottery they'll be done every day!

Everyday? That's excessive? How would you dry them all? Surely you have more exciting plans for when you win the lottery!Wink
Anyway I change mine every 2 weeks, though if I had more time I'd rather every week.

That would be very bad for our poor planet, that would 6 extra loads of washing per week Hmm. I'd travel the world if I was you and set up a home for rescue cats Smile

Every couple of weeks here too.
If I won the lottery I would also travel the world and spend lots of time walking mountains Grin

Weekly to fortnightly

When I win the lottery the housekeep will do them weekly - and whenever DS wipes his snotty nose on them.Grin

I'm a real fuss pot when it comes to clean bed linen.
I change mine twice a week without fail.

Oh yes OP - I'm with you on this one. When I win the lottery I'll pay to have someone to put fresh sheets on my bed everyday and I'll never wash and dry my own hair again. My 2 luxuries Grin

There is a mumsnetter that does hers daily. Can't remember her name though.
I'm twice weekly through the summer once a week in the winter.
We sleep naked though.

I am going to wave the lazy flag on this thread just to help other lurkers - we change ours every month - 6 weeks possibly even longer in winter.

I also love fresh sheets but we haven't got a tumble drier and our bed is a super king in a tiny room so it is a proper faff to strip and remake it so it is reserved for a guaranteed dry day and our bed is a super king in a tiny room so it is a proper faff to strip and remake it. Nothing bad has happened to us yet. The children's sheets get changed a bit more regularly as I can get to their sheets more easily.

I feel no shame about this.

Every week here.

Every four weeks. I do one chore each weekend, eg deep clean kitchen one week, bathroom the next, bed linen third week and everything else the fourth week. No way I could do it all more often and have time for mumsnet Smile

evening baths/showers keep bedding cleaner!

Weekly. Change ours and the spare room on a Saturday morning. Love climbing into a fresh Bec, I'd do it twice a week but it's not possible thanks to working shifts
