    Every two weeks here too...I do find it quite an effort changing a king size bed, but it is worth it for that clean sheet feeling, and that lovely clean smell :smileyhea

    I try to do it every week but a king size bed and 3 kids bed really is a chore so tends to every other week.

    Fortnightly here, sometimes more often in the summer. King size duvet covers are the work of the devil! (I'm only 5ft tall too).
