Reply to comment by Ystebad in Bifl Sheets WITH STRIPE detail - suggestions by Ystebad

The way most people use sheets is the take pair A off the bed and put on pair B then wash pair A.

10 years of daily use, or 20 years of rotational use is a good result from sheets.

The cleaner you go to bed, the better the sheets last too (less grit to rub against the fabric)

Finally, the kind of sleeper you are plays a big part. People who move around a lot will wear the sheets faster.

Perhaps somewhat ironically, washing is also a huge wear factor for sheets!

Still, although I'm not surprised at a 20 year lifespan for sheets, I'd also bet those sheets are no longer white, and they aren't very far from being at the fragility point where the fabric will tear from the simple action of making the bed.

And a wear factor on the laundry machine!

Make both sheets and laundry machines last longer! Wash less often!
