Frequency of bed linen changes?

How often does everyone change bed linen?

I have a bit of a thing about it. I do them weekly at the moment and when I win the lottery they'll be done every day!

My intention is fortnightly- I reckon is usually closer to monthlyShock

Oh, I also take our duvet's the laundrette every 6 months and vacuum the mattresses once a fortnight

Weekly here too, and I have been known to change the sheets twice a week in summer when the nights are hotter

I'm with reddaisy and scrupulously unmeticulous about everything generally.

Weekly in winter, every 4-5 days in summer without fail, even after two lots of major surgery in the last few years and major mobility problems. I just could not sleep in 4+ week old sheets, yuk

Once a week.

Sheets and pillowcases laundered weekly, quilted mattress and pillow covers less often, night attire every evening before retiring.

Sheets & pillowcases once or twice a week.
Duvet covers every 2-3 weeks.

Not if you forget you have stripped them and head up to bed at midnight only to find you have got to make the bed again Grin

At least my less regular routine reduces the chances of that happening!

Ooh, I'm moving my weekly change to sunday night, great way to start the week!

4-6 weeks but we aren't nekkid in bed (usually) Wink and we shower at night rather than in the morning (am aware this a whole other thread)

Fortnightly. Rarely more frequent, often less frequent.

At least every week, but quite often more regularly as I'm peri-menopausal and some days I wake up and it's like I'm in a swimming pool.

I was just thinking this morning that I don't change the bed often enough. I'm really particular about most thinks but when it comes to laundry I always put it off. Must try harder!

I have 2 doubles and 1 king size to do and do them at least weekly ,although I aim for 5 days - I do them on rotation so rarely do more than 1 set a day . That said I also do about 5 loads of towels a week - my tumble dryer is well worked .

All bedding is done weekly, I love getting in a freshly laundered bed.

Actual pillows are boil washed twice a year.

If we win the lottery the housekeeper will change the sheets daily whilst I'm busy running my boxer dog rescue at our estate near the sea Grin

At least fortnightly and weekly in warm weather. Pillowcases almost always weekly.

reddaisy, I'll join you. We do ours monthly maybe. Wish we did them more often, there's no excuse really.

fortnightly here, one week bedding, one week towels.
I change routine when hubby works away though, I always change them the day he leaves so I get a clean bed all to myself!

Fortnightly: love clean sheets but hate the whole palaver.

Well done, Vulcan. There are more of us out there, I'm sure of it!

Once a week at home. Every three days on self catering holiday (40 degree temps).
Let's just say, when they're no longer a pleasure to fall into.
