That’s usually what I do, or at least try to do. Once every two weeks, but it doesn’t always work out that way.

It always feels so fresh and so clean, clean.

I change beds once a week.

Every Sunday night. Clean, fresh sheets help make the Sunday night have-to-go-back-to-work-tomorrow dread, disappear.

Fresh, clean sheets once a week, right after a shower. Mmmm.

@figbash @Jeruba really every week I guess i’m just not that awesome! I wish I could but it just doesn’t happen

(Have more than one set of sheets. You don’t have to do the laundry every week, but you can make the change.)

I had about 8 sheet sets for my queen bed, but a few months ago i got a king size bed so now i only have 2 sets so far. I love fresh crisp sheets and I change them 1–2 times a week.

I’m happy with once a week.

Once a week to coincide with a full house cleaning.

@AlfredaPrufrock , That must be very expensive

Just like @figbash; every Sunday.

Should probably once a week, we probably do it every 1.5 weeks.

@LostInParadise, hahahaha! Good catch!

“I do, ” Alice hastily replied; “at least I mean what I say, that’s the same thing, you know.”
“Not the same thing a bit!” said the Hatter. “Why, you might just as well say that “I see what I eat” is the same thing as “I eat what I see!”

We change every week or possibly two. They seem to need it more in the summer, or… you know, some other times.

I had an ex-boyfriend who left his sheets on the bed until the top was a different, greyer color than the sides. I think people should wash their sheets more often than that, at least.

If I were living with someone it would be once a week or as needed! ;) As I’m the only one in my bed at the mo’, it’s every 2 weeks.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

Every Saturday morning. I get out of bed & go start the washer. Even if I was living alone, that’d be my schedule.

If you could see the skin cells & dust mites that have been shown under a microscope that’s in your bed, you’d change them at least that often.
