How often should you change your bed sheets?
In winter I change the sheet set weekly...in summer twice or three times a week. More if you sweat at night. They also should be washed in hot water, to kill all bacteria left from your skin. Remember not to use chlorine bleach with colored sheets; always use color-safe bleach.
There are many people who only change bed sheets once every couple of weeks or once a month. If you don't have terrible allergies from dust mites, and your bed sheets aren't soiled, it's not likely to cause huge problems if you wait a little longer to change sheets.
You should replace your sheets completely, getting rid of the old ones, when there are holes, stains or bleach stains, or the edge of the fitted sheet starts to come apart at the corners.

Can you put a heated mattress pad on a TempurPedic mattress?
From the Tempur-Pedic FAQ:
We recommend you do not use either electric blankets or heating pads with our mattresses. The TEMPUR® material responds to your body temperature, and the additional heat from electric blankets or heating pads causes the mattress to respond to that heat instead of conforming to your body. Longer periods of exposure to the heat from electric blankets or heating pads may damage the mattress.
Once you lie down, the mattress will quickly respond to your body heat and feel warmer.
