Rotating your mattress minimizes the impressions your body leaves and makes your mattress more resilient and resistant to wear and tear. There are several opinions on how to rotate a mattress, but we have discovered a simple method.

You've heard the joke, "I only need a man once a year-to rotate my mattress." Actually, you may need him more often than that. It's wise to rotate your mattress every two weeks. After you first purchase your mattress, wait two weeks, then flip your mattress counter-clockwise for half a turn. Make sure you fit the mattress to the foundation, since this will preserve the mattress.

Once another two weeks have passed, you once again rotate the mattress, but this time slowly. Rotate it counter clockwise ¼ turn, raise it on its side with the top facing the headboard, then gently lower it onto the opposite side. Finish with another counter-clockwise ¼ turn. Rotate mattress counter clockwise ¼ turn.

In another two weeks, flip your mattress counter-clockwise for half a turn again. Remember to fit the mattress to the foundation once again. Repeat this routine for as long as your mattress lasts. By following the rotation cycle, you can make it last for a long time.
