What about turning or flipping a mattress?

Turning a mattress

If you buy an cheap mattress, the problem of wear and tear will be more acute and so you need to take measures to distribute the wear as much as possible. One way to do that is by turning your mattress periodically. A mattress should be turned regularly, both side to side and end over end to balance wear. Some manufacturers suggest turning a mattress every two weeks when new, and then every month or two after that.

ALL MATTRESS SINCE 1997 ARE NOW ONE-SIDED, AND DO NOT REQUIRE FLIPPING OR ROTATING. SOME BEDS LIKE A SERTA OR SEALY MAY REQUIRE ROTATING,HOWEVER MOST SIMMONS BEDS DO NOT REQUIRE ANY MAINTAINENCE AT ALL. (ROTATING/FLIPPING) WHY SIMMONS, YOU ASK? BECAUSE SIMMOMS INVENTED THE CONCEPT OF ONE-SIDED BEDS, AND SINCE THEN, EVERYONE ELSE FOLLOWED SUIT.(SEALY,SERTA,...)
