Just checking to see how others compare in terms of routine and cleanliness. Do you change your sheets and pillow cases after a couple of weeks, once a week, or when they start to smell? I know a few people who would sleep on the same sheet for weeks. Ugh!!!

Every week to two weeks, depending on "circumstances".

Every Saturday morning. Use a quality detergent like Tide and a softener sheet in the dryer. But I don't "change" them. They go in the laundry that day and back on the bed by evening. No folding sheets. Besides they are high quality and I only change them when I want a different "look". Mattress gets a spray with Febreeze and an airing out. Or a flip every so often.
Now is your chance to get all those dust bunnies. Even the pillows inside the cases go in the wash. (We use four. Again, don't remove pillows from the cases.) They are polyester filled (I'm allergic to down) and fluff beautifully in the dryer. No ironing either. I always wash the spread too. Yes, we have a bedspread, no comforter and dust ruffle nonsense. This way the entire bed ensemble is clean. We have a crocheted coverlet that goes over the spread. It's washed by hand about one a month. It's an heirloom from my great grandmother.

About every week unless it becomes necessary before that.
I can't tell you how relieved I am to see that I am not that far out at least this norm!
If they are my super-comfy favorite flannel sheets and it's cold outside, they may stay on for another couple of days, but I don't sleep as well when my sheets are stretched out.

In the summer, once a week; in winter, every other week or when I feel like crawling in between nice fresh sheets. Nothing's better - especially w/Tide Simple Pleasures Lavendar & Vanilla and matching fabric softener.

I have a routine to my sheets and bed ensemble. Everything gets washed, ironed and stowed once a week. I vacuum my mattress twice a month and I swear I can actually sleep better!

The Martha Stuart's of the world would say every week the bed sheets need to be washed. I live a little more practical and try to get to it once a month.

Every 5-7 days, depending on when I have time. I love the feel of clean sheets against my body.

We wash our about once a week. So much more comfy sleeping in a bed made with sheets washed with fabric softener.

At least once a week, sometimes more if I bought new ones because they're my favourite things to buy. New sheets are great...
