According to the research, which was conducted by U.K. mattress company Ergoflex, single men between the ages of 18 and 55 only change their bed sheets an average of four times per year!
Furthermore, the average single guy owns just one set of sheets. Women, on the other hand, typically own three sets and change their linens every two-and-a-half weeks.

(23,156 posts)many decades ago, doing laundry was a huge hassle. I didn't have a washer and drier in my apartment, and didn't even always have it in the building I lived in. Laundry was a relatively low priority, trust me. I did change my sheets more often than every three months, but it was no where near as often as once I had a washer and drier inside my living space.

(16,191 posts)When I was young and single, the rule was "no visible spots or odors". If a sheet set could go six months, it went six months. In my experience, this was a pretty typical thing.
The fact that the average male has lower standards for cleanliness than the average female isn't exactly news. I'm pretty sure that the "5 Second Rule" was invented by a guy.
