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?

I'd never even manage once a fortnight as I like the sheets to be aired for at least a week. Pillowcases once a week but if one wears PJs, the sheets stay clean!!
All these clean people and yet...they let dogs lick their faces and don't wash their hands after being on the tube!

😁

Once a fortnight!

shower once a week, on average, twice on a good week.

😳 you can't say that on MN

Every fortnight. I do not have the energy to do it more, or the time. Pillowcases weekly. That’s a bit random, I know.

What about chronically ill or disabled people? What about carers, single parents doing their best or people working ridiculous hours every week?

I fit in to one of these categories. Dh and I sleep separately now. So every fortnight.

Weekly without fail

Or are just more hygienic

I sleep alone. Bath or shower before bed

Only twice? Aren't you worried about the smell? I changed mine six times.

God that made me laugh

I change my bed weekly but whenever the 'What would you doing you won the lottery?' Question comes up I always say I would have my bed changed every day. I love getting into fresh sheets which have also been ironed.

Slovenly here, once a month

Weekly.

Jackie Kennedy had clean sheets twice a day - in the morning,
then after her post luncheon nap.

I agree thats why I said upthread it has to be taken into consideration other hygiene habits people have regarding their body, home and bed. It’s throws me a bit when I see social media influencers who have their dog putting its bum and paws on a freshly laundered bedsheets declaring how clean they like their bed to be.

I personally think everyone has their things that they’re fussy about it and things that they are less so fussy about when it comes to cleanliness.

They’d do well to remember that before suggesting others are being unhygienic.

Aim for once a fortnight but I’m reliant on carers to do it so sometimes it’s every 3 weeks. I’d love it done weekly but would cost me too much! I change the pillow case myself more often.

No pets, don’t use body oils, sleep separately from DP, always wear nightclothes in bed.

I do however air the bed every morning- turn back the duvet, open the window for an hour.

When I win the lottery, I shall have a housekeeper to change my bedding daily. I love the feel of fresh sheets.

This is the same for me.

Weekly in the summer, every other week in the winter

I do mine monthly. I have a whole king size bed all to myself.

19yr ds has a double bed. Also changed monthly.

Clearly we are disgusting.

We shower daily plus no pets.

Why so attention seeking? 😂

When I can be bothered, so probably once a fortnight in the summer when we sweat more and wear fewer nightclothes. We both wear sensible pyjamas in the winter and I air it every morning, so not as often, probably once a month. I do change the pillow cases more regularly.

Admittedly, when I can be bothered. Every 1-2 weeks.
