How Often You Should Change Your Bedding and Towels
6th Dec 2023
These home essentials are everyday staples and sometimes, it can be easy to forget that even staples need a little TLC now and then. When was the last time you changed your pillows, quilts and towels? If you can’t remember, then it might be time to hit refresh!
Sheets
Looking for a cheat sheet to help you keep your sheets sweet?
When to hit refresh: Wash every 1–2 weeks
Once a week is best, but if you have allergies, get red-hot at night, or sleep with your furry friends in the bed, pop them in the wash every few days.
When to break up:
All our products have a 5-year warranty, but if your sheets run their course after this time frame, you can always think about upcycling!
We recommend:
- Vintage Softwash: if you like a vintage finish and a soft touch
- Alessia Bamboo Cotton: if you want a sheet set that’s temperature regulating (perfect for cold and hot sleepers)
- Lustro: if you like a silky-soft touch that's totally indulgent
- Palazzo: if you love a luxe hotel vibe (without the hefty price tag!)

Searching for a relationship that won't become a pain in the neck? Since your relationship with your pillow is one of the most supportive ones in your life, you need to ensure it's meeting all your needs.
When to break-up: Every 2 years
You need to have a healthy relationship with your pillow. Getting mixed up with the wrong one can lead to a whole lot of pain, so make sure you replace it every 2 years.

Quilts
Money can't buy love, but it can buy 5-star comfort. Our top tip – invest in not one, but two good quality quilts. One for summer and one for winter. Regulating your sleeping temperature is one of the easiest ways to guarantee your beauty sleep.
When to break-up: Every 10-15 years
We recommend:
- Alessia Summer Quilt: Breathable softness that comforts without the weight
- Lana Washable All Seasons Wool Quilt: For a long-term, year-round love
- Hypoallergenic Down Alternative Quilt: If you're a bit sensitive and need some extra attention
- Luxury Quilt: if you like to be treated like a king or queen

Protectors

The easiest way to maximise the life of your mattress is to invest in a protector. Keeping your biggest bedding investment safe from any night-time nasties is the life’s mission of the mattress protector (plus, they’re much easier and cheaper to wash or replace than a mattress).
When to hit refresh: Wash every 2 months

To keep your skin healthy and clean, you need to dry off with a fresh towel. If you have allergies or skin conditions, you'll want to wash them a little more.
