    Absolutely! I feel like washing my sheets weekly is about taking care of me and I think I sleep better too.

      this is something i didn’t realize until recently, but you really gotta be on washing that shit weekly. i used to think it wasn’t a big deal, you could just do it every couple of weeks / once a month, but you sleep WAY better when you wash them weekly because your body and skin don’t have to hold off a trillion bacteria trying to get into your body / getting allergies triggered by dust mites

      although, to be honest, i would never have figured that out without dealing with a persistent vaginal infection because of it… 😭 at least i’m like 95% sure that’s the cause atm. i guess i’ll edit my comment in two months when i can confirm it (i’m testing this as of about a week rn)

    Research shows – even that not commissioned by publicists for homeware companies – that clean bedding improves your sleep. A 2012 study by the US National Sleep Foundation found that

    Kinda funny when the National Sleep Foundation is also industry funded, just not by homeware companies.

    That said, anecdotally I agree that I sleep better on fresh sheets.

    Depends a lot on the sheets. I find that the ones in hotels are both clean and crisp, but I find the fabric to be too course.

    At home it’s not as clean and crisp, but it’s a lot more comfy.

    I like freshly cleaned sheets! I’m not too fond of sheets that have a coarse texture though, which happens all too often whenever I decide to get new sheets, so I typically just stick to old ones that have been through the wash lots of times so they have a smooth texture…Yes, I’m very picky when it comes to my bed! 😂
