A mattress can only be flipped if it's designed to do so. Otherwise, avoid it. Few modern mattresses (spring, foam, or latex) can be flipped, but they can be rotated.
Flipping mattresses complicates the manufacturing process and results in a less durable mattress. Flipping your foam mattress will result in the comfort layer becoming the support layer. Make sure you check with your manufacturer before flipping. This method may void the warranty.
You should look for a memory foam mattress that is comfortable, sturdy, and has premium bio-available foam on top to keep you cool.
Why Aren'T Mattresses Usually Flippable Anymore?
Flippable mattresses are too complicated to manufacture.
Additionally, people don't want to flip their foam mattresses to get adequate performance.
Unless it is marked as dual-sided or flippable, a memory foam mattress is single-sided.
What Mattress Types Are Flippable?
Memory foam mattresses cannot be flipped.
Most innerspring and hybrid mattresses cannot be flipped either (there are a few exceptions). Latex mattresses, however, are sometimes flippable.
At the very least, rotate your mattress 180 degrees to ensure even wear.
How Can I Improve My Mattress Support If I Can'T Flip It?
If you notice support failing and want to improve it, it's already too late.
Your weakened support has likely led to permanent internal damage to your mattress.
Here are 3 simple steps you can take:
• Buy a New Mattress: Get a new mattress as soon as possible and don't sacrifice your health and wellbeing for a few dollars. Saatva Classic is our favorite mattress. They also offer 'buy now, pay later', which is the most convenient option if you have little money to spare.
• Get a Bunkie Board: As a temporary solution, you can either buy a bunkie board off of Amazon or place your mattress on the floor (nothing is better than a hard surface for support).
• Rotate Your Mattress: In addition, rotate your mattress until your new one arrives.
Rotating Vs. Flipping My Mattress?
If your mattress is foam or not, rotate it every six months. Memory foam mattresses create natural impressions over time (less so than pillow top mattresses). Rotating is essential (so the foams on top settle over time).
As we've already mentioned, memory foam cannot be flipped. Unless you purchase a flippable memory foam (we haven't found one). Latex mattresses create fewer noticeable impressions over time than memory foam and innerspring beds.
How Often Should I Flip My Mattress To Prolong Its Lifespan?
Flipping your mattress every six months can help prolong its lifespan. This distributes weight and pressure evenly, preventing sagging and increasing durability. If your mattress is only one-sided, it's crucial to rotate it 180 degrees every six months.
Newer mattresses may be one-sided or have features that prevent sagging, so check the manufacturer's instructions to see if flipping is necessary. A high-quality mattress protector can also prolong its lifespan by protecting it from spills, stains, and everyday wear and tear. Regularly cleaning and vacuuming your mattress can also keep it in good condition.
Ultimately, how often you flip your mattress depends on its type, age and your preferences and sleeping habits. However, flipping every six months is a general guideline that can help extend the lifespan of most mattresses.
