I've been finding these bugs everywhere. I've changed the sheets, but they keep coming back. I've tried to compare them to a bed bug, but it doesn't fit the description well. I don't have any bites, but I don't know how to get rid of them. Are they harmful?

I suspect carpet beetle if the source of the infestation is not near food storage. They feed on clothing, blankets, and carpet. Here are some tips: (1) Vacuuming. As a first step, vacuum areas where youve seen adults or larvae such as carpets, rugs, furniture and curtains.
(2) Steam cleaning. Your next step involves going over the same areas you vacuumed with a steam cleaner. The heat and moisture in this step removes remaining beetles and eggs.
It looks like one of the weevil family of critters.

They aren't harmful, kinda icky. They may have hijacked their way into your home in flour or rice or cereal and then gone rogue looking for other food in your bed.
Check the image I posted.
Best just to keep vacuuming them. Go through your pantry and see if you can find the source. Sadly you will have to toss all dry goods if you find them in the bags.
Once you get rid of the source, they should go away.
It is neither a bed bug or a carpet beetle. Bugs look for food, water and warmth. If you have no food or water, look for openings that allow bugs to get into your home and seal them.
You arej right it isn't a bed bug. it is strange it is in your room because normally these types of bug look for food and water. it doens't seem like you have them in your room.
