Okay, B2Y's post about washing her bed linens made me think. How often do folks change their sheets? Be honest.....nobody will know how you voted.

I chose "as needed". I used to change them every week--what a luxury it seems now! These days it depends on 1) how I'm feeling, 2) how warm the weather's been and 3) if I sleep in the bed at all. I usually sleep in the recliner, and Mr. B isn't as fussy about "fresh" sheets. He takes a shower in the evening, so it isn't as if they get very dirty. It probably averages every 2-3 weeks in the summer, 3-4 in the winter. So be it. I do change the pillowcases in between.

I just ordered a new set of sheets from Target. I ordered a cheap set a while back, and they are certainly cheap. They crackle like celophane and they don't fit the mattress well. We have a nice set of flannel sheets, and now would like a nice set of summer sheets. I say "nice"...they're probably "fair". I never thought I'd spend $70 for a set of sheets. My my.

I just saw something in an AARP mag about this. They said 1 a week. Said all kinds of stuff can live in the material. Dust mites was one. Yuck!!!

The last set of sheets I bought was from Target, $60. They are a cotton/bamboo blend. I've had them several years, they have held up well. I was surprised.

Twice a year whether they need it or not. But seriously, I do the housework and DH does little to none so I do things as my spare and limited energy allows.

You mean I hafta change the sheets? I hardly ever wet the bed.

I sleep on the sofa and I change the coverlet/comforter every week. The beds are all made up for company. I only change it when or if I have a stay over. Not so much anymore.

Sheets? I don't use them! I sleep on top of the comforter with a fuzzy fleece blanket or two. I wash the blankets and the pillowcase weekly. The comforter is 100% cotton and I wash it every six weeks. I have 4 different ones that I swap out several times a year. I can't stand how confining sheets are on my feet and legs.

Weekly... in fact, I can't remember there ever being at time that I didn't change mine at least once during the week. Fresh sheets are such a treat! I love the way they feel on my clean body after an evening shower.

it depends on how much pet hair & cookie crumbs are in the sheets!

Once a week. If its laundry day and I cant do it, DH will roll up his sleeves and strip the bed and ask if I want him to put clean sheets on it. What a guy!

I love fresh sheets, and since I spend so much time laying down, im not sure i want to go past a week.

As needed, my dog is clean!
