To be shocked to read on another thread that....

...... People don't change their bed sheets for 2-3 months?

I can't believe it. I change all ours weekly, not least because there is nothing quite like getting into a fresh bed.

But 2-3 months without clean sheets? Surely not????

Marlie09, surely that's fine if you haven't been there for one of the weeks?!

Every week here.

Spacehopper, I remember your former filthiness. I am so proud of you! Well done.

Have you put clean sheets on the bed?

:o

Can I just say for the record that Oblomov doesn't smell, not to my knowledge anyway...and if she does it is not obvious!!

Whatever she might say.

Anyway I am going back to my duvet which has no cover on (took off to wash a few weeks ago, never replaced it) and I am going to sit back and put my feet up on it while I do the sudoku. Wearing my riding boots.

Every three days, 500thread count cotton, snow white, pure bliss.

I think its worth getting good linen and changing the bed often, even spend a bit more on a good mattress as we do spend (well, try to spend) a large part of our lives in bed.

There is something wonderful about a warm bath and then a crisp, clean bed.

There is. Then again there are a lot of things one might be doing with the amount of time it must take!

I am very bad at keeping to a routine. Very bad. I do clean out the chickens though, more often than I change the sheets. For some reason I feel they deserve it more than I do.

Probably just scared about the RSPCA actually..

I'm going to sleep in your bed Perfumedlife.

I do sometimes wish that I could make DH sleep on the floor when he's been drinking as he sweats out stinky beer into my lovely sheets

I'm coming back on this thread to say that due to mad busy time every day at the moment I have not had a minute to change the beds. We usually do it once a fortnight. Never been longer. But it's been 3 weeks for our sheets. And they smell stale. Makes our bedroom smell slightly stale too. Not rank. Just not fresh.

The kids' sheets are longer - between 3 and 4 weeks since I last changed them. They smell stale too and make the room smell, and I also noticed that they've made the kids' pyjamas smell stale too!! OMG.

Horrible, horrible.
