How Often To Rotate A Mattress

New mattresses need rotation once or twice a year, while the older mattresses require rotation more frequently to maintain their shape and comfort.

Rotating a mattress will even out the wear and indents over time and increase its lifespan.

By turning the mattress 180 degrees, you will be able to position it the other way around, with the foot of the bed now at the head.

It is crucial that you rotate and flip your mattress to keep it in good condition.

However, not all mattresses can be flipped, so make sure to flip it only if it is double-sided.

Every mattress must be replaced at some point, even if it is rotated frequently.

A reputable brand should be your first choice when purchasing a new mattress.

The Saatva Classic mattress is very well-built, provides excellent support, and doesn't need to be rotated frequently to maintain comfort.

The design of mattresses allows them to be rotated or flipped as follows:

• Single-sided: Rotate from end to end.
• Double-sided: Rotate from end to end and turn it over.

It is always better to flip a mattress (if possible) than just rotate it.

When you flip the mattress, you are using both sides. In this way, the mattress's lifespan is extended even further.

This is how often the mattress should be rotated or flipped, depending on its type:

• Rotate your latex, fiber, or memory foam mattress once or twice a year.
• Newer innerspring mattresses need a rotation every 6-12 months.
• Older innerspring mattresses need more frequent rotations, 2-5 times per year.

Note: If a mattress wasn't designed to be flipped, flipping it will make it less comfortable and less supportive.

There are 4 reasons why rotating your mattress is important:

• Better support for longer
• Consistent comfort
• Even distribution of fillings
• Reduced risk of dips and sagging

Rotating your mattress also keeps the spine in neutral alignment, which is key to getting a good night's sleep.

Rotate and flip your mattress every six months to keep it in a good condition.

Despite the best care and maintenance, most mattresses should be replaced every 6 to 8 years.

Follow these 4 easy steps to rotate your mattress:

1. Prepare for rotation: Set reminders for quarterly rotations.
2. Ready for rotation: Large mattresses require considerable space for rotation.
3. Time to rotate: Turn the mattress 180 degrees so the foot is now at the top.
4. Fresh rotation equals fresh bed: Consider your quarterly bed rotation as an opportunity to clean your bedroom. Wash your sheets, bed skirt, and cushions, then vacuum around your bed.
