The article is old, but I just saw it via reddit:

While they strip their beds every 3.1 months on average, unattached women change their linen every two-and-a-half weeks or 26 times a year a survey found.
The grubbiest group for keeping sheets fresh are those aged 18 to 25, with more than half claiming to change the bed every three months or less.

Those who washed their sheets once a week were mostly aged between 35 and 50.

How many times do you switch your bed sheets?
I do it at least once a month.

mmazurkiewicz · May 18, 2016

26 times a year here.

weekly.

Cpt.Underpants · May 18, 2016

Once a month

SamVimes · May 18, 2016

I wash them once a week, I thought most people did the same.

Once a week.

I think there was a thread about dudes washing their sheets once a semester (every 4 months).

Stat Flow · May 18, 2016

Twice a month (every other Sunday). Four times a year is pretty bad

Mr Waluigi · May 18, 2016

About every two months, so 6 times a year.
I sleep in two different apartments so I don't bother changing either sheets that often.

edit: lol, there are people who do it weekly? First time I see that

T.O.P · May 18, 2016

What the fuck

Arc · May 18, 2016

Thats so much work... My roommates give me shit for doing it so often and I'm probably washing them every other month.

lordfuzzybutt · May 18, 2016

...you have to wash sheets?

Once every 2 weeks.

A Fish Aficionado · May 18, 2016

You don't wash them. Just buy new ones because you've colored it with your own filth.

two weeks or so

danowat · May 18, 2016

Once a week in the summer, twice a week (ish, sometimes once a week) in winter

Not single though, so I guess the question is, would I have such cadence if I was.....

Jacksinthe · May 18, 2016

Every week here. Every week.

peakish · May 18, 2016

The smell of funk. Ew.

Edit: Honestly this sounds like BS.

Glass Rebel · May 18, 2016

That's fucking disgusting.

Same. Though I turn both the bedsheet and duvet (and duvet cover) over on the inbetween Sundays too.

Four times a year is awful.

Always-honest · May 18, 2016

Some single men.

Every week or once in every two weeks myself. I love a fresh bed.

Klyka · May 18, 2016

I switch them out like every 4-6 weeks and then wash the old ones.

I always forget about sheets *shrug*

edit: weeks. WEEKS. Not months

Aiii · May 18, 2016

I have a running Google Agenda note that repeats every 3 weeks to remind me to change them.

TI82 · May 18, 2016

Once a season since I change between summer and winter sheets... Lol. I wash my pillow case each week though

SillyEskimo · May 18, 2016

When I was single I slept on my couch. Problem solved!

jelly · May 18, 2016

That can't be real.

Hayvic · May 18, 2016

I'm European so I do it once ever half year.

Weekly is a necessity if you live in a warm place, use white sheets (otherwise they stain over time) or sleep with somebody else.

Edit: Some festering folks ITT.

Familienoberhauptvogel · May 18, 2016

Sounds about right, thankfully I'm being reminded every 2 weeks.

Why twice a week in winter? Wouldn't it make sense the other way? You sweat more in summer?!?

Gintamen · May 18, 2016

Once a week sounds a bit much, do people go to bed unclean? Once or twice a month it is for me.

ldcommando · May 18, 2016

every week of course

What the hell is wrong with people?

SliceSabre · May 18, 2016

Single guy I do so every two weeks. Course I don't go to bed dirty so I take a shower before I get in bed.

I do full switch out every 3-4 months. As in a totally different sheet set. I love my leopard print sheets but get tired of seeing them after a while.

Carl · May 18, 2016

Yeah sounds about right , I never change my sheets. Effort. Once every month or two maybe.

NoblesseOblige · May 18, 2016

Never. My scent is the most powerful aphrodisiac known to man. I ain't cleansing my bed of what keeps them coming back.

Diamond · May 18, 2016

If it starts to smell, just apply aerosol deodorant until it's gone.

Angelus Errare · May 18, 2016

I wash my sheets every two weeks. Well I have 3 sets, so I change to a new one while washing the old one.

I wonder what the stats are for washing their towel and wash cloth.

Branduil · May 18, 2016

Once every two weeks.

What the heck is wrong with the rest of you.

TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared · May 18, 2016

That's distinctly untrue. I wash mine every 10 days.

Maedre · May 18, 2016

i change it every three weeks in the Winter and weekly in the summer.

Roland_Gunner · May 18, 2016

Until I was around 25 once every three months or so was probably accurate for me. It was gross.

Now, roughly once a month in the winter, and every other week in the summer.

Enduin · May 18, 2016

Dirty motherfuckers.

Once a week except in the winter where I might go once every two weeks when it's really chilly.

Yeah, I meant every two weeks in winter!

Yerp. Even a lightly colored sheet will hide the muck better, but if one insists on white... well, good news is that you can always bleach the crap outta it i guess.

To be fair, if folks sleep with full body pajamas, the time can be considerably prolongued. Real question then becomes how often those get washed.

As for the edit, surprising no one, rly.

Rabbi_Vole · May 18, 2016

We wash them after every "sheet-changing" event.

Ladekabel · May 18, 2016

I change them about 5 times a year. Same goes for underwear.

Timedog · May 18, 2016

Once a month? Maybe?

This is one of those threads where A types swarm to freak out about other people not being A types.

old manatee · May 18, 2016

shit I don't even have pillowcases.

MedicUnderFire · May 18, 2016

Once a month is enough for me. sooner if the bed's get's dirtier then normal.

Mr Swine · May 18, 2016

Once Every 3-5 weeks

J2d · May 18, 2016

Every friday without fail.

SaganIsGOAT · May 18, 2016

Weekly cuz I ain't nasty

Timedog · May 18, 2016

Should be DAILY. It's basically underwear. Do you not wash your underwear, socks, or undershirts every single day?

All of you are fucking disgusting.
