    “average person changes sheets 4 times a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person changes sheets 25 times per year. Sheets Georg, who lives in cave & changes sheets never, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

    Holy shit, that’s basically once per season. I feel bad if I go a month. And in the summer, two weeks feels like a lot.

    Yeah, it’s a thing. I make it a point to wash my partner’s sheets before his other partner comes to visit, because I like her and my partner has a blind spot when it comes to sheets. It doesn’t help that he has strong preferences for sheet texture and, while he has multiple sets of sheets, only one set is top tier.

    Also, shout-out to sleeping in a hammock: I can just wash my whole bed.

    I have to change mine weekly. bad bedbug infestation in my neighborhood. Dirty sheets attract them.

    I shower before bed. I like to sleep clean.

    They only get dirty when I sweat or have sex on them. I sweat in bed maybe twice a year.

    Why change them more often?

      Bruh you still shed skin cells and oils, and bacteria that lives on your body will be multiplying like crazy all over your bed.

      I do the same. I change my sheets 2-4 times a month. BTW… I don’t sweat in my sleep 😏

      I think I remember reading somewhere that if you shower at night then you can get away with changing your sheets for a considerable amount of time longer but it was like 3 weeks vs. 1 week.

      At least that’s how I live my life and I think I’m fairly clean.

    When I was single I had a lot more time and I like a clean bed. Washed everything twice a week.

    Now that I am married, once a week.

    I’d like to see the distribution. I’d bet the times a year and ~50 times a year are more common than 4 times a year.
