how often do you change your sheets?
it's amazing how much conflicting numbers i get from friends on this.
i strip the sheets/pillowcase/duvet cover every 10 days. in the really hot summer months, it moves to be weekly for the sheet + pillow case. but i voted 10 days to be on average.
i wash the bed coverlet (thing i cover the whole bed with) every 2-3 weeks.
i wash the actual duvet once every 8 weeks. could do better there maybe, but the duvet covers protect it well enough!

Re: how often do you change your sheets?
I have one pair of sheets and pillowcases, and wash them every 3 weeks or so. 10 days seems like insanity to me.

I’ve changed my sheets three times in one day already this year.

Once the dog tears a hole in it, I know it's time for a change.

Re: how often do you change your sheets?
Changing bed sheets is inconvenient, because I know I'll never get around to washing them, and the pets will inevitably find them... So they'll basically just turn into disposable pee pads if I change them before they're destroyed.

Re: how often do you change your sheets?
Once a month.
There's nothing that says a fake can't surpass the real thing.
Re: how often do you change your sheets?
When I can. I have a duvet cover since my washer can't handle the comforter, and my bed is pushed into a corner. It's physically intensive so I am rarely capable of changing all the linens and then doing everything else I need to do with my day. There've been times when I'm lucky to switch everything over twice a year.
In the past year, I haven't gone more than two months between changes. In 2022, no more than three weeks between. If it were up to me, it'd be weekly.
I change my pillowcase every five days.

Re: how often do you change your sheets?
Every other week but I change pillow cases every week. In the summer I change everything every week except the cover which is still every 3 or 4 weeks because it gets very warm at night and I don't like fans or air conditioning.

Once a month for me. With a regular sex partner, that would probably change.

Re: how often do you change your sheets?
I have a duvet, and I only wash the cover for that 1-2x per year, mainly because it gets less dirty, and it's annoying to take on and off often.

We got these new "peach skin" bamboo sheets and they are the most amazing sheets I've ever had. Better than hotel sheets.

Re: how often do you change your sheets?
I had these awesome sheets for Christmas from my stepmom, the set weighed about 50 pounds, and they were like a zillion thread count. So nice and smooth for the two day I had them before the cat puked on them.
So pissed lol.
So I change my sheets every two days.
