How often SHOULD you change your bed?

[wastingaway]

Not how often DO you, but how often SHOULD you?

once a week.

agree with eis, but could be 2x week in really hot weather.

Oh good, starting hardball! Wonder if there'll be many dissenters?

i'm religious about changing the sheets and turning mattresses on wednesdays (turn mattresses once a month, also hoover them).

it's never really hot up here, though.

don't forget to wash pillows once a quarter.

it's where you spend a third of your life, you owe it to yourself to at least keep it clean.

I don't know what your 'supposed' to do. I do all of ours once a week. Twice a week in the summer or if we are ill and have the sweats.
I have a friend that does hers and her dd's once a fortnight.

Usually once a week but in Summer here in Australia, sometimes twice. If illness, the next day.

I have friends who change theirs once a month which to me is just bleugh - you wouldn't wear the same clothes for a month so why sleep in sheets that long!

Once a week, but that is mainly because it feels so lovely to get into a freshly made bed, rather than for any reasons of hygeine.

Once a week.

when it starts to smell like "bedroom" in the evening after a good air... which is about after a week.

Once a week.

Every day in the summer.

Seriously. If you are hot and don't wear pyjamas, you should change them every day.

Every other day in winter.

Getorf, that's a lot of laundry.

Yes I am like Dame Washalot in the Faraway Tree.

If you wear pyjamas once a week but change the pillowcases mid week, I think.

Any longer than that is pure slatternism.

I wear pajamas.

DH wears boxers.

Again, it doesn't get hot here, IMO.

Blimey Getorf I don't think I'd have the time or energy, it took me nearly a whole afternoon to change the beds yesterday! It usually involves lots of bouncing on the beds - dds, not me, making a den out of the bedding, and because I am 30 weeks pregnant, I have to get into the bed and have a lie down after all that activity

Once a week in winter, twice a week in summer.

Never on a sunday

once a week for our bed, every fortnight for dd (she has a bath every eve and is clean as a whistle before she slips between the sheets).

Ds (7.5 months) chnage cot sheet and sleeping back every other day as he's s sticky little baby

sleeping BAG

If I ever win the lottery I am going to employ a maid to change my sheets every day. There's nothing better than getting into crisp clean sheets (must be white, must be 100% cotton and freshly ironed). But I am too lazy to change them every day myself. Once a week for us, which is probably enough although they really do need changing by the end of the week as we have 2 cats sleeping on them too. Perhaps twice a week would be better, but no chance of that happening.

You lot must be fond of housework. I do once a fortnight
Change the kids 4 and 2 once a month. After 2 weeks just turn the sheets round so they are sleeping on the bottom half which is still clean

GetOrf do you iron them as well if you change every day?!?!?!?!?!

Weekly here, unless, like this week major backlog of other laundry so it will be a couple of days late...

DC's every 10 days or so but they go to bed super clean every night and wear pyjamas
