How often do you change your bedding ?

I put the question to my DD. Her reply? "After every customer"

Bottom sheets and pillow cases every week and duvet turned and changed once a fortnight which I have just done today.
Mattress is hoovered every time I change bottom sheet.

When I start thinking it must be about time I changed it.

@Tea3, me too re airing the bed. Often stays like that all day.
@LauraNorder, ? re toast crumbs!

Same as your DD Granny23!

Once a week for sheets and pillowcases and as we use a top sheet the duvet cover every month or so .

How do you know which way up your duvet is?

If I turn my duvet over I’d be sleeping under the bit that sweaty Orlin had had the previous night. Otherwise I’d have the buttons in my face.

If it wasn’t such a faff I would have clean sheets every day. Getting into clean bed sheets is absolute bliss. I change my sheets once a week, but my pillowcases every other day.

Can’t change the duvet cover by myself so have to persuade DH to help

Every week.

Once a week here too! But this got me thinking about my Mum, we had flannelette bedding and blankets when we were children. Mum used to put the top sheets onto the bottom, remove and wash the bottom sheets and pillow cases weekly and the wool blankets were washed every month or so.

4allwe know I’ve always aired the bed but particularly since we have had memory foam mattresses. I agree about drying outside in winter-it’s rarely fine enough.
I use trouser hangers to hang my sheets in upstairs doorways when the heating is on in winter. They dry overnight, or during the day. Somebody does ironing for us, but teddy fleece bedding doesn’t need it.
I remember a discussion on GN about shower/bath morning or evening. I shower morning, and put clean clothes on, but technically I’ve worn the same bedclothes for a week. ?

If I could afford to pay someone to change my bedding it would be every day, but as I have to do-it-myself every 5 days.

Romola, I agree with you. I am not amazed though. Most older people are unable to be unconventional.

How old is older? Now in my 9th decade I change them when it seems appropriate. so couldn't tell you when that was Fine cotton sheets demand ironing. Poly/cotton just feels tacky
The bedding is aired daily. Many years ago, I suffered from bad eczema of the legs and discovered that a good daily airing of the bedding cured it, possibly having got rid of the mites that made me itch

Every week here as well: cotton fitted bottom sheets, flat top sheets and pillowcases.
Duvet cover is changed every three weeks as it's decorative rather than functional.
If I ever have a restless night's sleep it's usually when the beds need changing.
Don't iron anything though; tumble dry the fitted sheets, dry the rest on a big airer (outdoors if possible), fold carefully and put away.

inishowen I knew a student who proudly told his mum he'd changed his sheets, just like she'd nagged him to.
Turned out he hadn't washed the old set though, just folded them and put them away! ?‍♀️

I'm really puzzled by the question asked in this thread.
Apart from the fresh smell of laundering, why do we need this constant washing?
And apart from conjugal activities, rare now
I remember one of the first threads I joined on Gransnet which was about how often you wash your dishtowels etc.
It's never been important to me - I must be a slut!

Every other week. It takes a week to manage to get everything washed as it has to be fitted in with other washing. In the good weather I can get through easily as no drying problems.

If you don’t like the question, don’t answer..... TrendyNannie6 has asked a question of interest to her... as does each member... maybe others find your questions of no interest to them, they just scroll on past...
Please don’t be rude to other members.

When I think it needs changing and not before. If it doesnt look grubby why create work and who cares. However I'm always washing towels.

I'm with Kim19 but I do think it's like a good workout.

My sheets are a dark colour, so they don’t show the dirt.

Once a week & I too love the feel of new clean sheets.

How many of us, having read this thread, have gone upstairs and changed their beds? I must admit I was about to make the bed - it had been airing all day - and I decided to change the bottom sheet and turn the pillows over!

Er... I think we are entitled to post as we please ! There’s been an awful outbreak of bossy people saying “don’t post if you don’t like the thread”.

And I’ve looked back and Bluebelle merely said she didn’t understand why the question was asked, hardly rude really!
