How often do you change your bedding?

Question

I change my bedding at least once a week, sometimes twice, but my friend just told me she changes hers once a month if that!! I thought that was gross but she thinks im obsessive doing as often as I do.

Answer 1

I change it once a week, but every day when I make the bed I always fold the duvet back, so that the bed can air and I use linen spray.

Answer 2

Gulp.....ummm....winter/summer. Unless I wet the bed (via uncontrollable sneezing or a retro virus) or accidently get blood on it (that time of the month). I dont have a partner and quite frankly.....they are the "messy" ones (with their emissions going every which way). If I had a partner Id change it when I didnt like the smell anymore. As it is...I change them when I dont like the smell of ME anymore...ie not very often.

You are obsessive...who else comes and sniffs your sheets? The sheets dont get really comfortable until the starchy feeling goes away anyhow...and that takes at least a fortnight.

Answer 3

Once a week is appropriate. Beds soak up all the smells, dead skin, and oils a body puts off. People who change their bedding once a month or for some, once a year, are lazy pigs. My Mother in Law is one of those people.

Answer 4

Once per month does seem too long. I usually change my bedding once per week or every other week depending on my schedule. I love the smell of freshly washed sheets when I sleep. I also like knowing that the mites in bed are now in the washing machine! LOL

Answer 5

At least once a week everything is washed up in hot water. More often if someone has been ill. The big heavy comforter not so often as it is very expensive to clean.

Answer 6

Once a week on Friday.That way, I have a clean bed for the weekend! I wash duvets and pillow covers (that go under the slips) once a month or so.

Answer 7

Once a week sounds about right, you should also change your pillow when you fold it in half and it stays there or at least every 6 months your friend who changes her bed only once in a while, she must get bitten a lot. (I 'm sure those bed bugs really like your friend)

Answer 8

I've always done it once a week. Your friend has to sleep in her bed so really it's whatever she is comfortable with. If she's sharing with anyone however, they should have some input and offer to help with the laundry if they want it done more often.

Answer 9

Once a week and I like to hang the sheets outside to dry, nothing feels better than sun kissed sheets

Answer 10

I change my bed once sometimes once per week, and a bit more regular through the summer months, i take my duvet to the dry cleaners once per month, and my daughters cot gets clean fresh sheets every day, and i vaccum our matress every month too and turn it. You cant beat a fresh bed.
