How Often Do You Change Your Sheets?

[Gvac]

I know most of you are vile, filthy, disgusting savages, perfectly content to wear the same clothes for weeks on end and rarely bathe.

I just want to know how infested with bacteria your beds are.

I change my bed sheets once a week, without fail.

[Foster]

every Memorial Day

[JerseyRich]

Once a week...heathens!

True story.

A few weeks back my Mom was talking with people at work about laundry. And this exact topic was brought up. One of my Mom's co-workers turned to her and said..."Oh I haven't changed my sheets since Thanksgiving. They don't smell or anything." :wallbash:

It's true, there are really animals just like that in the world.

[~Katja~]

was gonna say after sex but going by that rule my sheets would be filthy as hell by now... so about once a week or every other week is my schedule. I sometimes change the pillow cases in between.

[drjoek]

Then off to the laundrymat Gvac ? Winkwink. We know how you enjoy that !!

[underdog]

I've had the same sheets for months, but I wash them at least once every other week.

That person should be wrapped up in the sheets and both should be ceremoniously burned.

[razorboy]

Twice a week. Nothing like sleeping on freshly washed and dried sheets.

[MC Pee Pants]

I hate doing it. Someone come help me with the comforter please.

[Stuft]

Line dried sheets FTW!

[yojimbo7248]

I remember seeing a t.v. show a few years ago that had blown up images of little creatures that live on our bedsheets and eat our dead skin. Terrifying. They looked like cousins of the creature from Aliens crossed with flies. yes, they are microscopic, can't harm us, and are part of the natural order but I have washed sheets once a week ever since to avoid letting those little monsters survive.

[LordJezo]

My wife and I just look at our sheets closely on Friday, they were nasty. All stained up from bodily fluids and whatever else has been going on atop them.

Last time we changed them was about April 15th.

[Doctor Z]

Never.

[biggestmexi]

a what?

[epo]

Weekly. I'm no animal.

[BlackSpider]

Once or twice a week.
And also if they fail my "black-light test"...

[IMSlacker]

How am I supposed to know?

[Foster]

Once or twice a week.
And also if they fail my "black-light test"...

still having those "accidents" when sleeping?

[BlackSpider]

Those stains are no accident...

[King Hippos Bandaid]

every 2 weeks , my wife rotates the sheets


in the summer, it is every week

[Foster]

Those stains are no accident...

yuck!...use a sock or something

[TheGameHHH]

every other sunday, its that simple.

[sr71blackbird]

Once a week for me. After that they are biologically considered a life form.

[Nothing Sound]

I never change them. I have someone that does it for me.

[Farmer Dave]

I never change them. I have someone that does it for me.

Exactly, in my case it's the wife. I'll bet Gvac makes his bed in the morning as well.

[EddieMoscone]

Whenever I do the laundry.

[Kris10]

I've had the same sheets for months, but I wash them at least once every other week.

[drjoek]

Every Friday.

[disneyspy]

who would wanna have sex on those sheets?

[Foster]

here's another question about sheets;

after a relationship ends, do you buy all new sheets, and throw out your old ones?


reason I'm asking is because this thread reminded me of a women I dated a few years ago, who said it was odd that I didn't get rid of my old sheets when I broke up with my last girlfriend.

[disneyspy]

someone told me he even would buy a new mattress... at over 1000 bucks that is not gonna happen.
But I have def changed the bedding or at least the comforters and stuff... maybe not thrown out but keep the old sheets for back up if the laundry can't be done same day...
but now I have two sets anyway that I rotate

[Foster]

I thought it was crazy too, the women was clearly insane

I just wanted an outside option

well now I have like five sets of sheets, because I refused to throw away perfectly good linen, but I did concede and bought a couple of new pairs to make her happy

[~Katja~]

not I!

exactly, he brings it on himself...

I however wash my sheets and still don't have sex in them... so it may not be the actual problem

[~Katja~]

what about it? She slept in the guest room, I have multiple sheet sets for that too.
My bed is gigantic and lonely....

like the floor huh, kinky

[sr71blackbird]

I know women who think that way too. I even know a woman who won't sit on the same seat as another woman who had a relationship with a guy. There is all kinds of territorial stuff going on in a lot of womens heads that guys do not pick up on. Yet, they try on bras in the dressing room without a problem with it, even though another women probably had that same bra against her naked breasts.

[~Katja~]

lactating women most likely will be buying a nursing bra and not try on... but get fitted for it.
Don't worry, the sexy lingerie only gets tried on by sexy teens

you have wood in your bedroom... why does that not surprise me

uh oh.. I have wooden floors in my bedroom as well. :surrender:

If you ignore thread count you are denying yourself comfort. Something I refuse to do

[Foster]

If you ignore thread count you are denying yourself comfort. Something I refuse to do

when buying sheets I basically check the size, material and then ask whoever I'm with if these are ok

[Kris10]

If you ignore thread count you are denying yourself comfort. Something I refuse to do

If my bed is too comfortable it makes getting up for work even worse in the morning.

[~Katja~]

what does thread count mean exactly?

what spider said... usually the higher the count the better the fabric. It will feel softer and also last you longer...
less thread count has more space between the threads, so it may feel more rough on the skin (and skin particles can get easier stuck between this microscopic gaps) and it is more prone to get out of shape in washer and dryer.

[khaxzan]

I change my bed sheets once a week, without fail.

I never change me sheets, I'm so lonely these days it's comforting to know that I'm not the only living organism in my bed.

[Jeffdc5]

Once a week

[Foster]

ok, here's the a sheet question that has had stumped since I started doing laundry;

how do you fold that the bottom sheet with the elastic round the edge?

[~Katja~]

ok, here's the a sheet question that has had stumped since I started doing laundry;

how do you fold that the bottom sheet with the elastic round the edge?

I turn the bottom ones inside out and slide the corners under the outside in top corners after folding it in half. That way you can pick it up with your hands in both corners and have a straight line for the side part of the sheet. Then you can fold it as any normal sheet.

Mainly because I sleep in my bed only 2-3 nights a week.

Every other week because it is a pain to wash the comforters.

They are the common dust mite, and do indeed live off of our dead skin. What we call "dust" is actually their feces and decomposed bodies.

Washing and drying your sheets at high temps is enough to kill them, but you'll never be completely rid of them.

All you can do is limit how many there are by changing and washing your bedding frequently.
