How often should you change your sheets?

Every week or two:

- If you have allergies or sensitive skin

- If you sweat a lot at night

- If you have pets that sleep in your bed

- If you have young children who may wet the bed

Every three weeks to a month:

- If you don't have any of the above concerns and you don't sleep in your bed every day

Every season:

- To reduce the build-up of dust mites and bacteria

Note: It's also important to wash your sheets in hot water (at least 140 degrees Fahrenheit) and dry them on high heat to kill any lingering bacteria.
