Sulfur odor in water

Lately I have been noticing, more often than I remember, a sulfur odor in my water, both hot and cold.

I have well water. I have a sediment filter, water softener, and a carbon type filter.

The sediment filter is changed every 4 months; the carbon filter is changed every 6 months. They are both the big blue type filters (I think 4"). The softener is about 2 years old; it is an on-demand type.

I lifted up the laundry lid the other day during the middle of a wash to add some more clothes....and the sulfur smell was quite strong as I opened the lid.

Occasionally in the morning when I am brushing my teeth, I smell the sulfur from the bathroom sink...

So why am I getting sulfur odors? Is it a health hazard?

What can I do to get rid of it? Anything else I should be aware of with this issue?

Thanks.
