To think clean bedsheets are underrated?

silentreflux · 2026-11-08T21:35:50+00:00

I’ve been feeling a bit low and fed up, under the weather. I’ve just changed my sheets and wow, I feel so much better and I’m enjoying just relaxing. AIBU to think clean sheets are an underrated treat?

Underrated by who? I'm sure you'll find most people here think clean bedsheets are the norm.

Nearly everyone likes clean bed sheets.

I don’t think they’re underrated to be honest, people always talk about how nice it is to sleep in clean sheets!
I change them once a week so it doesn’t necessarily feel like a ‘treat’, because it’s a regular occurrence, but I do enjoy the first night after they’re washed.
Glad you’re feeling a bit better!

Yeah, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t!

Yes ! Especially if they’re straight off the line and smell of fresh air.
I used to say if own the lottery I’d have someone to put crisp clean sheets on my bed every day but ecologically I don’t think I could now .☹️

Nothing is better than clean bedsheets and new pyjamas.

I keep a set of line dried sheets for the depths of winter. They bring the smell of summer back when it is most needed

We bought a tiny solar powered heater system and OMG game changer - everything smells like fresh air because we leave the clothes outside over the horse on the heater and they dry in no time - just need to keep an eye out for the rain!!

I didn’t know how to vote, because yes clean bedsheets are amazing, but i thought they were generally very highly rated

PauliesWalnuts · 08/11/2026 21:47

They’re even better when they’re ironed.

One of my fave posters of all time used to change her sheets every day.

She was a fab MNer in lots of different ways & I miss her 🥰

I fully stripped my bed down to the mattress today & remade it up for Winter with an extra warm blanket underneath the sheet (as well as the mattress, protector, etc., etc.) & I've put a set of teddy bedding on, it's so cozy!!

Meee!
I hate the first night. My feet always feel funny so I often put on socks. Fine by the second night.

TheChosenTwo · 08/11/2026 21:52

I love Sundays because it’s clean sheets day.
it feels a bit ‘cold’ getting in at first but by night two everything has softened a little bit and it feels more comfortable. But it’s still lovely getting in to sheets that are freshly washed. I thought most people rated this quite highly tbh.

19Since7 · 08/11/2026 21:55

YANBU. I often think of really rich people, like the Royal Family, who have clean sheets every day.

Unfortunately unless you want to spend half your life washing and drying sheets and wrestling with a duvet, it's just not practical for the ordinary person to change them daily 😞

@PauliesWalnuts I agree, ironed sheets best feeling ever.

JaceLancs · 08/11/2026 21:59

Bought some new sheets a few weeks ago - ironed them - had a lovely hot bath and had the best nights sleep for ages

Carebearstartrek · 08/11/2026 22:01

Clean sheets every second day.

letsgoanonforthis · 08/11/2026 22:02

Who have you polled to come to this conclusion??

Very much NOT under rated in this household

Tweeply · 08/11/2026 22:04

This time of year you need flannelette or brushed cotton.. lush and warm

mondaytosunday · 08/11/2026 22:04

I’ve just changed my sheets today. Plus I’ve pulled out my ever so cuddly duvet cover. It’s like sleeping in a cloud. It’s single digits out now and I don’t heat my bedroom so it was time!

LauraJaneGrace · 08/11/2026 22:04

Well I was reading a thread before about a woman complaining that her DP hadn't changed his bedsheets in four weeks and LOADS of posters were telling her it was perfectly fine to go a month without washing the sheets, so I suspect that there is a fairly high percentage of minging mumsnetters.

But given that your OP actually mentions clean sheets the mingers probably won't be queuing up to answer here.

GoodGirlFaith · 08/11/2026 22:05

Definitely not underrated by me! It’s a good feeling.

Anotherdayanotherdollar · 08/11/2026 22:07

So are kitkats.

BIossomtoes · 08/11/2026 22:07

It’s even better with freshly shaved legs.
