How often do you change your bedsheets?

[terracottacountryfarm]

I change my bedsheets every week, no matter the weather. After a week, they just start to feel dirty, and I can’t stand it. I recently came across a discussion where people in an office shared how often they change theirs, and the answers ranged from every two weeks to as long as 2-3 months! I can’t wrap my head around that—anything beyond two weeks feels unhygienic to me. What about you?

When I can be bothered

About every two weeks as we just have so much laundry to get to and particularly in winter finding space to dry it

Twice a week at least.

Every time I see a MN thread about changing sheets.

Never.
I get the staff to do it on a daily basis.

I sleep alone and wear pijamas (and bed socks) so I tend to change my pillow cases every 1-2 weeks and the rest of my bedding every 4 weeks

Nice to see an original question appear on MN 😁.

Once a week for me, maybe stretch to 8 days if I'm too busy on Saturday.

@CandleStub How many sets do you have? Or do you take a view and not change them if the next thread comes up before you’ve had a chance to sleep on them?
Bit grim if you ask me.

Twice a week.

We only have a bottom sheet, the rest is duvets. We change the bed every week. This is MN through so it’s anyone’s guess how often others change their bedlinen.

Every Tuesday in general , All 5 beds. if I don't for any reason I'm not too bothered I just do it end of the week , however I will do it again the Tuesday as I feel all out of routine.

Gonna get slated here but probably every three weeks. I just can't be bothered to do it more and it disrupts the routine of washing everything else because we do about 2/3 loads of laundry a day. DH is a builder and my two DS play football 4 times a week at a club and everyday at school. We do shower every day if that makes us sounds better...

Fortnightly ish. Tends to be weekly or fortnightly at most if hot, not so bothered in winter as not sweaty

Once per week give or take aside from if visibly dirty but much longer than that and I am itching to get them done as it feels minging - they are not visibly dirty or anything but just feel yuck. And the feeling of getting all snuggled up in fresh clean sheets is the best.

Once a week. On a Sunday. Always have

About every two weeks, I’d love to do it more often but I can’t justify using the electricity now it’s so expensive :/

It depends on drying conditions , ideally weekly but in wet weather it can be fortnightly.

Depends if you're an evening bather (and therefore enter bed fully clean) or a morning showerer (and enter the bed dirty).

And of course some people don't bathe every day to save money and the environment innit.

On days ending in y

Fortnightly complete change,more often if been sweating,usually weekly sometimes twice a week in summer.

Twice a week but only because I have a dog who also sleeps on the bed.

Once a week in winter, twice a week during the warm part of summer when a) my horrible DCs + DH sweat at night and b) washing dries outside in about 5 seconds.

I can’t bare the oversoft, almost greasy feeling that unwashed sheets get after more than a week.

Sheets are a priority job for me though - whereas I will happily go a couple of months between jeans washes, and only ever spot clean my cashmere + wool sweaters! Also the inside of my car is a crime scene.

Or are just more hygienic & organised.

Surely you have a brand new set daily????

As soon as they need it. I'm not overly fussed about bedsheets, but would never get into bed without a bath/shower first.
