Turning your mattress is an essential part of proper care. Every time you move your mattress around, you allow air to flow into and out of the mattress, while ensuring that wear and tear is evenly distributed across the surface area. Mattresses aren't cheap, so regular rotation is the best way to protect your investment − and it's totally free.
There are two ways to turn your mattress: rotating or flipping. These are quick and easy ways to prolong the life of your mattress − all you need is a friend or family member to help you lift and turn your mattress. Before you begin, it's worth knowing that some mattress types respond better to rotating than flipping − more on that later.
