How often bed linen should be changed

Short answer: One to two weeks for most people. If you sweat a lot, sleep with pets or have skin problems, one week is the minimum. The pillowcase is changed most often.

The pillowcase first

Face and hair leave the most behind. Change it twice as often as the rest. See bamboo bed linen.

Sweat sets the pace

If you sweat at night, change once a week. See bamboo nightwear for men.

Nightwear reduces the need

Nightwear catches sweat that would otherwise go into the sheet. See bamboo nightwear for women.

Air the bed in the morning

Fold the duvet back for twenty minutes so the night's moisture dries out. See bamboo clothing for women.
