    “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.

    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.

    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 wouldn’t call it being proud. It just doesn’t smell bad, and I usually don’t care to do things because that’s how it’s supposed to be done, so why should I change the sheet more often?

        Why do you change it more often? Does yours smell bad?

          Bro, if you havent changed your bedsheets but every 3 months or less, they stink. You just are nose blind to it cause you have your nose burried in your stink for a solid third of the day.

          My sheets smell like me, they don’t smell bad to me, but if someone else were in my room, I’d change 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?
