Original poster

AIBU to ask how often you change bedsheets?

I have a friend who does it every other day! This seems wayyyyy too much for me, once a week is the maximum as far as I'm concerned (unless it's children's sheets and there's been accidents obviously) and more frequently it ends up being once a fortnight Blush

So people of mumsnet, how long do you leave it?

When the mood takes me. But now my dog sleeps with me probably more frequently than I used to.

There was a poster on here several years ago who changed her sheets every day. GetOrfMyLand.

Weekly, on a Sunday.

Fightthebear · 01/09/2020 08:38

Fortnightly

SueEllenofDallas · 01/09/2020 08:38

When I think about it.

Perching · 01/09/2020 08:39

About every 10 days, but we shower every night before bed.

Tappering · 01/09/2020 08:40

Every week on a Sunday.

Every day or every other day is bonkers - all that wasted water!

liveitwell · 01/09/2020 08:40

Every couple of weeks. Id like weekly but we just don't find the time on top of everything else (doesn't help our tumble drier is crap)

BowowMttt · 01/09/2020 08:43

Weekly for us

Frazzled2207 · 01/09/2020 08:44

I’d like to think fortnightly but actually it’s bit less often than that.

DilloDaf · 01/09/2020 08:46

They get changed when they need changing. I don't keep track of how often.

Flamingnorahs · 01/09/2020 08:49

Every week on a Saturday or Sunday.

Pinkmakeupbag · 01/09/2020 08:50

When they need it, probably every 3 weeks.

Years ago I always did it weekly but I don't believe they need it.

RozHuntleysStump · 01/09/2020 08:50

Every Sunday

Balloondog · 01/09/2020 08:51

Weekly, every Sunday, like pps

Namechangr9000 · 01/09/2020 08:52

Less often that someone starts a thread asking the question....

Sparklesocks · 01/09/2020 08:52

Weekly here too. Each to their own of course but every other day would be excessive for me, wouldn’t want to increase my washing that much!

Ifailed · 01/09/2020 08:52

I just put another set on. I now need a ladder to get in.

Imonaplane · 01/09/2020 08:53

Every week for me too.

onlyconnect · 01/09/2020 08:54

Fortnightly

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 01/09/2020 08:55

Weekly otherwise they smell fusty even though we shower before jumping in and we filling sweat much

Royalbloo · 01/09/2020 08:56

Fortnightly when DD is at her dads

TwelvetyOClock · 01/09/2020 08:57

Fortnightly. In theory.

TheWernethWife · 01/09/2020 08:59

Fortnightly - have plenty of spare bedding, so just wash them, hang them on the line (love the smell of line washed bedding) and then store them in the bedding box.

I have to step away from bedding in stores, they are a magnet for me. Only buy 100% cotton, feel nicer to sleep under.

EdgeOfACoin · 01/09/2020 08:59

Weekly. Fortnightly max.

TheWernethWife · 01/09/2020 09:00

Line dried washing - not line washed.
