Single men wash their sheets four times a year

Usually as I'm leaving for work Friday morning I throw sheets/pillowcases in washer. When I get home I throw in dryer and grab comforter or whatever and wash it. Then all weekend I have perfectly fresh blankets and sheet and such.

Anyone not sleep under the comforter? I just usually sleep on top of the comforter, but take half of it and cover myself. Now during winter, I sleep under the comforter for warmth.

Always under the comforter but I keep my bedroom much cooler than the rest of the house because I find it more comfortable. I wash the comforter cover once a week with the other stuff, and the comforter itself (with pillows) once a month or so.
 
I never had a bed with both sheets AND a comforter until I was almost 16, so I always used the comforter as a quilt. Since I always lost my sheets between the bed and the wall. Apparently people only use them to look nice on the bed, and I will never understand why you would only use something so warm and fluffy as a decoration alone.
 
My fiance and I shower in the evenings before bed. So we change our sheets once every 2 weeks in the winter and once a week in the summer. Going to bed clean and not having sweat and oils on our skin from the day helps keep the linens fresher. I really don't understand morning showerers who go to bed dirty. I just don't. "It helps me wake up in the morning" - yeah ok, it's called washing your fucking face and drinking a cup of coffee.
 
I have a mattress thing to prevent messes and a fitted sheet. Then a giant-ass blanket.

I wash them about once every 3 weeks.
 
i wash my bed sheet (only have bed cover) every other wash and pillow case every wash.

i end up doing laundry every 2 weeks so it ends up being a month.

that makes it about 10-12 times a year.

You are also cleaner during the day without a night of oils accumulating. Not to mention that apparently people here never change their rancid sheets...

"Every season we harvest the grease and excretions of multiple GAFers besheets in a delicate process that results in only a few liters of material extracted per sheet. We ensure not to disturb the GAFer as any perturbation of their natural habitat can change the aroma next season.

These extractions are mixed with whale vomit to thin out the smell and make sure it's not too overpowering."
 
Every week. I do the same three loads of laundry every week.

Friday - whites (towels, underwear, socks)

Saturday - clothes that have been worn more than twice, so each piece usually gets washed every other week (jeans, Polo shirts, and t-shirts)

Sunday - sheets, pillow cases, pajamas/house clothes, and whatever whites got dirty after Friday

This way every week I have a fresh bed, all clean clothes, and no dirty laundry in the hamper.
 
When I was a student (and single) I washed my sheets every other month. It was pretty terrible. I did wash clothes weekly tho.
 
Sorry if it's just me and my dog in my apartment and I'm taking a shower every morning plus I always sleep in cold temp I'm not gonna be washing them sheets more than once a month if not less.

It's nasty yeah, but I wash them if I have guests coming over to sleep as I give them my bed and I sleep on the couch. So it's not like anyone else will have to deal with it.

Edit:and no my dog very very rarely sleeps with me on my bed, and the one time a month he hops up he usually sleeps over the bed cover.

Well personally, I'd rather be at my dirtiest and most stinky in bed sleeping as opposed to interacting with other humans. But we all have our priorities I guess (for example, if I was sleeping next to a fiancee).
 
Every 10 minutes an alarm wakes me from my slumber and I wash my sheets and rotate my mattress.

The rest of you might as well be sleeping in garbage compared to me.
 
I was one of the people in this thread who didn't wash their sheets very often, maybe once every 2 months growing up. But now that I live alone I have come to love weekly laundry day, nothing more satisfying then sleeping on a clean bed especially sheets that come right out of the drier, if I wasn't so busy during the week I'd love to make it a twice a week thing. It was a noticeable effect on my health too and it makes sense when you think about it why you need to change it more often.
 
Eh, I do it like once every 5-6 weeks. I literally don't sweat at all and shower every day. I'm a pretty clean guy, outside of not changing the sheets as often as society wants.
 
Every time I take a shower. I take my sheets with me. Why? Because I don't want the world to look down upon my hygiene.

I ain't got time for that. Nor does anyone who has to physically travel to a laundromat.

Filling up a hamper of clothes takes two weeks, so that's how often it gets done.

Actual bedding doesn't get done more than once every four to six weeks, and the bedding smells fine. Moving to a new place without central air, though, that will probably change the calculation.
 
Uh...that's fucking crazy. Don't know about other single men but I wash mine every single time I do laundry and especially after I have sex. Like immediately after sex. How can someone think it's sanitary to sleep on sheets for that long of a time without washing them? Just cause they aren't visibly soiled? Ew. Just think of all that sex syrup and dead skin cells layering those sheets...
 
Gross. Ignoring products of sex. There's dead skin and oil left by the body constantly. Should be every half week for pillow cases and once every week or two for sheets. And next day after sex.

And mattress should be replaced once every two years.

The men washing them four times a year are not the men having sex, let's be real here.
 
It depends on the season, as well as how much I sweat while sleeping. Washing my sheets can range between once every 2 weeks or once every 3 days.

North Vancouver's weather patterns can be pretty iffy, me thinks!
 
Two week squad here. But often twice or more per week in the summer. If I wake up sweaty I strip the bed immediately.
