How often do you change your bedding ?

I do that top sheet under the duvet too, it makes perfect sense.
I change my pillowcase every 2 days as I have some weird
rash-under-the-skin thing on my face and it's worse if the pillowcase is sweaty or dirty.
The sheets get changed every week, my back allowing. Sometimes it's more like ten days.

Fortnightly for me, DH and I have separate beds , both done on alternate weeks.

Fitted sheet and pillow slips once a fortnight and duvet cover every three weeks. I live in a flat and its a big hassle to dry them. I have a bath before bed so dont think they get too mucky!

Once a week as well.

Wow there’s some right miseries on this thread! If you don’t want to answer then pass on by jeez!

Once a week but I change pillow cases twice a week generally

All of it once a week but often change top pillowcases and sheets in between times, sweaty menopausal woman that I am ?

Sheets once a week - pillow cases more often, especially since we’ve had teddy fleece bedding in winter. If I’m putting a wash on I’ll bung them in.
Duvet cover once a fortnight, more often in summer.
It’s an odd question, like asking how often you change your underwear.
When I was young, there always seemed to be sheets on the line, but I couldn’t tell you who’s they were. I think mum must have washed them on a rota.

BlueBelle I can also remember having this question many many times over the years,we have new members all the time and they possibly have not seen this posted before.
I cahnge my bedding once a week in Winter and twice a week in Summer if anyone newly joined is interested

Most people who come to stay can’t understand why I put a top sheet under the duvet - I find it more comfortable and it also means I only wash the duvet cover every 2nd wash - am I unusual?

I do the same (a top sheet under the duvet) Liljan . . DH insists on it! He thinks I hog the duvet (don’t think I do!) and he finds it more comfortable. I change the sheets once a fortnight, but the pillowcases once a week and I find this is enough. I change the quilt cover about once every 6 weeks as the sheet underneath is washed every 2 weeks. I always used to change sheets every week, but find it’s not necessary. We both shower every day so are very clean. Always let the bed “air” for several hours before making it.

I change the bed once a week unless we've been ill or it's been very hot then I tend to do it more often.

When I win the lottery I will pay a lady to change the bedding every day. That will be my treat to myself. I love clean, fresh bedding but I hate the actual task.

I change our bed when I have the energy - probably every 10 days BUT one thing I am strict about is not making it straight away every morning. The duvet is pulled back, bottom sheet flattened out and pillows plumped and then it is left to 'air' Then it gets 'made' during the day or when I go to bed. We loose moisture during the night and making it straight away means it is trapped in the bedding. Ugh!

I do this too. And open the window. But I change the pillow cases every few days.

grandMattie, yes, I remember the top sheet becoming the bottom sheet. Our pyjamas/nighties were folded and kept under our pillows - then only changed weekly.

Every Sunday - but I have a clean pillowcase every day!

Is there a relevance to the fact that it is king sized?

Once a week. I have sheets and blankets.
I suppose nowadays with ease of laundering and use of duvets, one changes everything rather than just the bottom sheet as it was when I was young.
