Is it better to flip or rotate a mattress?
Flipping the mattress (with a rotation) is always better than just rotating it. This is because when you only rotate the mattress, you are only ever sleeping on one of its surfaces. When you flip the mattress, you are using the other side. This increases mattress lifespan even further.
Are you supposed to rotate your mattress?
Most mattresses can be rotated. In many cases, this will help to protect the mattress from premature damage. Rotating helps to spread out the wear-and-tear that comes with sleeping in the same position on your mattress every night. Memory foam and latex mattresses should be rotated 1-2 times per year.
Can I rotate my mattress 90 degrees?

How often should you flip or rotate your mattress?
For latex, fiber, and memory foam mattresses, opt to rotate 180 degrees once or twice a year, every 6-12 months. Newer innerspring mattresses also need a rotation every 6-12 months. Older innerspring mattresses need slightly more frequent rotation, at 2-5 times per year.
Can you turn mattress upside down?
You shouldn’t flip any mattress unless it’s specifically marketed as a double-sided mattress. Most memory foam, latex, hybrid, and pillow-top mattresses are one-sided. Flipping one-sided mattresses leads to excess pressure on the comfort layer, causing irreversible damage to the mattress.
Do you need to rotate a memory foam mattress?
No, you shouldn’t flip your memory foam mattress. This is because the memory foam layer is only on the top of your mattress, not on the underside. If you flip it over, you won’t enjoy the benefits of the memory foam. You should still rotate your memory foam mattress regularly to keep the fillings evenly distributed.

Why are mattresses not Flippable?
No-flip mattresses feature a coil system base with layers of comfort materials stacked on top. In a two-sided mattress, the comfort layers are on both sides of the coil system. In a no-flip, a one-sided mattress can have twice as many comfort layers stacked on top of the coil system base.
What is the average lifespan of a mattress?
Most mattresses should last between 7 and 10 years. However, there are many variables that can influence mattress lifespan. The original build quality of the mattress, the materials used, and even the weight and sleeping styles of the sleepers can all influence a bed’s longevity.
Which side of the mattress goes up?
The design varies by manufacturer; some feature a thin memory foam layer stitched atop other materials, while others look the same on top and bottom. If unsure, press your hand into the foam; the side that conforms to the shape the most, and slowly, is the top.
Why does it feel like my bed is moving?
What’s going on? This body movement is what doctors and scientists call a hypnic (or hypnagogic) or myoclonic jerk. It’s also known as a “sleep start,” and it can literally startle you out of falling asleep. This type of feeling is normal, and it can happen before people enter the deeper stages of sleep.
Can you sleep sideways on a mattress?
Side sleeping best practices Lie down on a medium-firm mattress, using one firm pillow underneath your head. Shift over to your left side first. Your ears should be in line with your shoulders, while your chin is neutral. Avoid tucking your chin into your chest or keeping your head down.

Box springs wear the same way as mattresses, so they need rotating every 6 months to even out wear and tear. To make life easier, rotate your box spring at the same time as your mattress.
Should you rotate a pillow top mattress?
Most pillow top mattresses should be rotated every three months at least – even more often if your mattress is new. This will increase your comfort while sleeping and prevent permanent dips and valleys in the foam.
Do Casper mattresses sag?
Since sagging is a result of body pressure, rotating your mattress changes the primary pressure points. Notice that we didn’t say to flip your mattress. That’s because most newer mattresses (including Casper mattresses) are one-sided and shouldn’t be flipped, given a one sided built-in comfort layer.
Do you have to rotate Casper mattress?
Nope! Casper mattresses are not designed to be flipped. As with all mattresses, if you sleep alone on one side of the bed or have a meaningful weight differential with your mattress partner, then we do recommend rotating the bed 180 degrees every 3-6 months.
