You never heard of spring cleaning? You’re supposed to wash them every April…
Reminds me that there is a similar question about beds - how often is one supposed to flip the mattress?
I only discovered fairly recently one is supposed to flip them every few months.
As a single, moreover one with a problem spine, even having discovered about the requirement to flip mattresses, I don't obey that commandment.
I love my soft mattress, disregarding the requirement to flip it, but I don't notice any problem without flipping it. (Which reminds me that I think it's a lot of hooey about getting a firm mattress even though "9 out of 10 orthopedic doctors supposedly advise firm mattresses", etc.).
It's the same about podiatrists' recommendations about shoes.
I say "get shoes and mattresses that are comfortable" - fooey, double fooey anything to the contrary.
That said, how often do YOU flip your mattresses? (And are they supposed to be flipped side to side or top to bottom?)
(FWIW I don't change sheets more than once a month, because it's just not something I'm up to however much others may consider it revolting. Still remembering putting an elastic bottom sheet on my mattress and hearing a loud cracking sound after lifting it. I have rods and screws attaching all that titanium, and - well, just NO! For guests, I'll hire out the job but that's it. I try to avoid looking at magnified photos of bed bugs.)
