For those of you who must use a humidifier in dry winter air, have a ceiling fan above your bed, AND who have front loader washers, here's a tip:
Take you sheets out and spread the bottom sheet loosely over your bed, untucked. Turn on the ceiling fan on HIGH. In about an hour it will be dry and the air in your bedroom humidified. Do the same with the top sheet and pillow cases after you tuck in your fitted bottom sheet.
Front loaders wring out much more water in final spin than top loaders and the residual rinse water can be put to good use inside.

Twice a week. Anything less is disgusting - bacteria grows on them when you sweat. Three sets of bed linens - two sets get washed weekly alternating with the third set. Wash the mattress pad every two weeks as well. Towels should be used two or three times max before being washed for the same reason - otherwise you're putting bacteria back on your skin. Would you wear the same underwear for six to eight weeks?
Sad to say, here's a survey saying almost half of single American males only change the sheets every three months - aaarrrrggghhh.

I travel a decent amount and am often not home every night, and sometimes I sleep on the couch and don’t use the bed.
So there’s no need to do it more often than that, and I don’t have time to anyway.
Those of you who are washing sheets several times a week are just wasting water and polluting the rivers with unnecessary detergent. You need to think more of the environment and stop being so prissy and selfish.

Re: pillows, you don't have to wash them if you put good allergy covers on them. A good cover is not crinkly or plasticky, but keeps out dust and dust mites. I do wash the covers periodically, though (along with the pillowcase. Silk, of course, to baby my skin and hair. I'm 50, you know, but people say I look 25!)

Twice-ish a week. I’m a shift-worker, and I never work more than three days in a row before having at least two days off. I always change them on my first day off. However, every third week I have either four or five days in a row off. The sheets still get changed on my first day off, and usually get changed again on my last day before returning to work. I’m not gross, or dirty, or overly sweaty or anything like that — I just really treasure my sleep time and do whatever I can to make it enjoyable. I also make my bed every day, tight as a drum.

- in summer whenever I want fresh feeling
- if I eat in bed and there are spots
- every saturday or sunday if the above isn't more recent
- if I KNOW i am getting laid in my bed, I'll change the sheets beforehand

Pillows should be washed 2-4 times a year. Buy washable down or synthetic pillows. If the pillow doesn't survive the wash - throw it away and get new. Some synthetic pillows are not any good, washed or unwashed, after a year, anyway. Throw them away.
And for gods sake, put mite resistant covers on your mattresses.
As for comforters, if your american all in one comforter can be washed, fine. If it cannot be, do as the Euros do - buy duvets and duvet covers. The duvet covers are your decoration statement and provide hygiene. They get washed with the sheets at the same frequency. The duvets themselves - like pillows. Maybe 2 - 4 times a year. A ginormous all down comforter costing many hundreds, can be washed at the end of each winter season, then put away. Don't leave the dirt and mites in the duvet to rest for the other 3 seasons. Gross.
If you can't deal with all this, fine. Live your sad little poor life, sleeping in filth. You can still be fun at parties, so that's cool!

Duvet covers are a pain in the ass to put on comforters. I'd rather just buy a cheaper comforter and buy a new one every year. It's not like I go to bed dirty or frankly do anything in bed that will make it dirty. Even my feet are clean as I never walk around barefooted or wear socks in bed, just my cleaned feet in there with me. I'm allergic to any kind of feather so I never buy really expensive comforters or pillows. That said the synthetic pillows do need to be changed every year or so as they tend to get clumpy. But they're cheap, so what the hell.

It seems to be common in European hotels to wrap the bedspread in sheets. I assume this is because sheets are easier to wash, than is a bedspread. And it’s more hygienic. It is gross that some hotels don’t clean the bedspread after each guest.
