i heard a survey on the radio the other day as how often you change your bedsheet they said in england and ireland they changed them only 2-3 times a year, the assistant to the radio announcer said she changed hers every other week, needless to say i thought this would be a fun survey. as for me since we sleep nude i change them once a week and don't think that is ofter enough but 2-3 times a year is almost unbelievable heck they would be like cardboard.

    I change ours about every week.  Sometimes more often.  It depends on perspiration levels.  My husband perspires if he hears the word hot.  He just about melts each summer.

    TWO OR THREE TIMES A YEAR! ...... I can't believe that, I reckon it should be every other week, unless you're lucky enough to be in a warm climate, then I could see it being once a week, or even more.

You can Google your username, but you're unlikely to find every one of your posts, or even most of them.[/quote] Thanks man, you were very kind to reply, i needed to know...and now i know it. :-) Hugs Nick

    I normally change mine once a week.
    As far as the question about finding all of your posts, I Googled my user name and got about 20 entries with notation that similar findings were not included and if I wanted to see all to click on link on bottom of page.  When I did, I got back about 1,500 hits.  I didn't check all of them but I would bet they included all of my posts here.  LOL

    We do the sheets every Saturday morning. Unless, like sargento said, the dogs find their way onto the bed too often.

    [quote]I change mine every year without fail, whether they need it or not.  Last year I had to change them early when I moved house.[/quote]  Every year without fail? Now THAT'S dedication...LOL! I've been getting more and more into the habit of washing them once a week on  Wednesdays along with my regular laundry. I like the crisp feel of fresh sheets and pillow cases. I don't iron the whole sheets, but I do like to iron the large hems of the sheets that are up around my head so the don't feel rumpled and wrinkled. For me its like ironing the collares of t-shirts. I like the neat, clean look and feel that tells me its fresh and clean. Terry

    Whenever I have a date, or bi-annually, whichever comes first. More often if the neighbors start complaining.

    I change my bed sheets every week, because I sleep nude.  I like the feel of fresh clean sheets.

    I change mine every Saturday, unless (rarely) I have slept in them after exercising.  If so, I have to wash them before sleeping in them again.  I can't stand my own stench.  I can't sleep (nude) wallowing like a pig.
    I've been thinking of taking a trip to Ireland, but now that I hear 2-3 times a year, I'll probably bring my own bedding (or at least check really closely before I book a room somewhere)!  Gross.  What's that? a potential of like a hundred generations of bedbugs before a wash?  That can't be good for anyone.
