When to Change Comforter?

Because it doesn't have to support weight the way that pillows and mattresses must, your comforter should last 15 to 25 years if you keep it covered and air it regularly. Replace it when it begins to look limp and flat or starts leaking bits of filling.

How often should you wash your comforter?

Bulky sheets, comforters , and duvets should be cleaned 2-3 times per year. A good tip is to do this around when the seasons change to help you remember and stay consistent. Doctors also recommend cleaning all of your bedding after someone has been sick.

How often should you get new bedding?

As previously reported by TODAY, you should be replacing your pillows every year, your mattress every five to ten years and your bedding every 18 to 24 months.
