How often should I change my comforter and sheets?

                  Sheets should be changed at least once a week.

Here's why:

• Hygiene: During sleep, we shed skin cells, sweat, and oils.1 These can accumulate on sheets, providing a breeding ground for dust mites, bacteria, and mold.2

• Comfort: Clean sheets feel fresher and more inviting, leading to better sleep quality.3

• Allergies: Frequent washing helps minimize exposure to allergens like dust mites, which can trigger allergies and asthma.4

Consider these factors:

• Health conditions: If you have allergies or sensitive skin, more frequent washing may be necessary.5

• Lifestyle: If you tend to sweat a lot, have pets, or smoke, you may need to wash your sheets more often.6

For bedspreads:

• Less frequent washing: Bedspreads generally don't have direct skin contact.

• Wash as needed: Wash your bedspread when it looks visibly dirty, smells musty, or has stains.

• Seasonal changes: You can usually get away with washing your bedspread less often in the winter than in the summer.7

General guidelines:

• Sheets need to be cleaned: Weekly

• Pillowcases need to be cleaned: Weekly

• Duvet covers need to be cleaned: Weekly or bi-weekly

• Comforters/blankets need to b cleaned: Monthly

• Bedspreads: As needed, I would say: "If it's used often then clean it often." Most things like hats, coats, gloves, and bedspreads go unwashed do to it being out of site, out of mind.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure a clean and comfortable sleep environment.
