How often do you change bed sheets? or should I say don't let the bed bugs bite!  email this discussion to a friend?

Did you know that doctors and allergists recommend changing your bed linen at least once a week, and if at all possible once every 3 to 4 days. This may seem like a lot of changing but guess what? Our beds are dirty things.

All of our beds have, dust mites and or bed bugs that live in our sheets and linen. They like it there because we provide them lots of food. Bd bugs and dust mites love to eat the dead skin we shead each day as we sleep. We provide a free buffet for them every night.

Did you know that we all sweat up to a litre of fluids a night while sleeping?

Not to mention what else may be on your sheets....use your imagination here lol

For all these reasons, doctors and allergists recommend changing your bed linen at least once a week. When was the last time you changed yours? Or should I just say "Night night, don't let the bedbugs bite" lol

Sweet dreams!

Oh no... and I'm allergic to those creatures!
I just changed our sheets last weekend. I change them every two weeks. Changing it every week... that would definitely give me a lot of laundry... :(

Yup once a week it is. But if I could have my way, it would be nice to change them twice or even thrice a week so as to keep things fresh. But alas, such activity is too time consuming and expensive on laundry soap. Maybe this is why most change them on a weekly basis.

But it does feel so good to lay down on new sheets every time. I sleep better like that. :)

I change my bedding every other day otherwise they get nasty smelling , your body sweats when you sleep no matter if you shower before bed or not you still sweat so i prefer to waste linen every other day just as i would all the rest of the clothes they are just as important, I change clothes daily so I feel clean linen should be done also.

I try to wash them at lest every week. But all the thing that you are talking about are not only in your sheets but are also in your bed mattress.

I change the sheets every week. Every Monday before school the kids take the sheets off their beds. So 5 beds to change.
About a month ago I had to change my sheets twice in one afternoon. One of the cats was kind enough to throw up on my bed. Oh well at least he missed my pillow.

Hey Wheel,

That is one of the grossest things I have heard. I think it is the worst since was it 60 minutes that did that story on hotel rooms and how dirty they are? GROSS!! I always change my sheets on the weekend. I have been doing it for so many years now that it would seem too strange to change now. Hey, that rhymes!
