3 Main Reasons To Replace Your Sheets
Doctors say we get the deepest, healthiest sleep when our bodies are cool, comfortable, and able to breathe.[1,2] If you're struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep, it may be due to the quality of your sheets!
Let’s go over the 3 key reasons why you may need to replace your old sheets.
1. They're Stained, Wrinkled, and Old
As a rule of thumb, sheets need to be replaced after at least two years of use. This may sound like a waste of money but think about the shirts you wear. After two years of use once or twice a week your shirt looks worn and has visible signs of age. So, why would the sheets you sleep on every single day be any different? You spend a third of your life sleeping, after all!
The visible signs that your sheets need replacing are the yellowing stains that are impossible to get out, as well as thinning or torn fabric. Not feeling comfortable while sleeping is a key indicator that you need to change your sheets ASAP!
2. They're Not Gentle or Moisture-Wicking
One of the key reasons for poor sleep is sniffling and sneezing due to the common household non-living allergens found on your bed sheets. Experts recommend washing your bedding every week.[1,2] Not keen on doing this much washing? Look for bedsheets that have naturally breathable and moisture-wicking properties that keep your linens fresh and clean longer than your old traditional sheets ever could.

Poor-quality fabric might even give you a skin rash or a headache, especially those with sensitivities.[1,2] It’s simply not worth risking your health over just a few bucks.
