One of the most commonly asked questions is how often do you change your bedding and while there is no right or wrong answer to this question there are many reasons why you should change your bedding on a regular basis. Some people change their bedding every week, some every month and some people change their bedding as and when they feel it needs changing.
So how often should you change your bedding?
The general consensus regarding how often you should change your bedding is around one week to one month depending upon a number of different factors. So what are the benefits of changing your bedding on a regular basis?
Comfort
If you ask anybody about the benefits of changing their bedding on a regular basis it is the fact that when you jump into a bed with nice crisp sheets and a clean duvet cover there is no better feeling. There is no doubt that the more comfortable you feel in bed the better your sleep and better you will feel in the morning.
Change of environment
It is amazing to see how a simple change of bedding and duvet covers can make a change to the environment in which you sleep and the atmosphere in your bedroom. Many colours offer a warm or a cold feel and different types of material will feel very different on your skin and impact upon how warm or how cool you feel.
Extend the life of your bedding
When you consider the amount of time you spend in bed each and every night and the various particles which accumulate on your bedding and in your bed it makes sense to wash your bedding on a regular basis. We are talking about skin, hair, sweat and saliva to name but a few therefore regular washing of your bedding will extend the life of your duvet cover and sheets.
Air your bedding
Many people fold back the top of their duvet covers each and every day to allow air into their beds which can assist with creating a fresh feel when you go to bed at night. There is no doubt that airing your bedding does make a difference but there is nothing like the feel of a fresh crisp bedsheet and duvet cover.
Conclusion
While there is no right or wrong answer with regards to how often you should change your duvet covers and your bedding there is no doubt that regular washing say between every week and every month will not only extend the life of your bedding and your duvet cover but will also improve your quality of sleep. We are all very different, we all have very different lifestyles therefore there is no definitive answer.
