@TheGreatNico I got a new mattress awhile back. Be aware that they ALL have gel or foam topping on them now. You can’t find the old pillow top with cotton batting, etc.
They’re hot and they’re uncomfortable. I hate mine! It is a Beauty Rest Black, about a $1900 mattress, and I can’t even sleep on it. My back hurts so badly when I try that I’m in pain for days. I’ve tried toppings of every imaginable kind, and nothing works.
Find a place that will let you return it if you don’t like it, like an in-home trial. Good luck! You’re going to need it!
@Tadlem43@TheGreatNico That sucks. I like my mattress to be slightly less firm than a piece of plywood. When my ex and I bought a new mattress, we ended up with the one called The Granite.
I love a good madlib: When the ____ starts to ______ ?

Every Saturday morning. Pull off the sheets when I get up (the spouse is up hours before me), change to alternate set. Put into washer and it gets done. Sometimes I have to fold them and put into linen closet, but spouse usually beats me to it.
My wife does it every Tuesday. Before I got married, I might’ve changed my sheets once every 3-6 months. I know it’s gross, but this is a safe space and I’m letting you all in.
When the bed bugs tell me to.
Every two weeks
I don’t, ever since Meh regularly sales replacements.
yikes
Change my sheets every two weeks, have 4 sets, so every two months or so.
Meh should offer mattresses at some point. I need a new one

@lisagd @TheGreatNico I’ll have to check into that. Thanks!
Ever few weeks. I switch them out for the set in the closet then wash the ones I removed and put those in the closet.

@Oldelvis Yup. Gotta trust her judgement

The poll should have “The morning after date night” as a choice. Saying for a friend
When I can wrestle them away from the bed bugs.
When the mattress starts to complain.
When the ____ starts to ______
…dog…sleep elsewhere.
@phendrick [couldn’t get it to format worth a crap, trying several different ways]
When the pepper starts to fog.
I may wash them at other times as well, but they will always get washed if the pepper gets foggy.
When the dogs start to complain. I sleep in sweatpants & a T-shirt & socks, really only need clean pillowcases.
