Do you often turn over your mattress ?

We turn and flip our mattress over just about every time the bed covers get washed. I wash them as frequent as they need it to keep them smelling fresh and clean. It helps to save on the mattress and it is more comfortable also.

I turn my mattress when I feel in the mood then I hoover it about every three months it does make the mattress last longer we have interiors springs.I turn it upside down then the other way to even out the sleeping comfort,yes I am a good girl.

My bed is a futon. Im not sure whats inside of it, cotten i think. No springs. I do flip it from time to time. I dont really have a regular time fram or anything. Few times a year.

I do not use foam in my mattress because it is not good for the back and secondly emits a lot of heat.In my country where the weather is hot throughout the year it is best to avoid foam mattresses. I use a cotton mattress which does get lumpy and hard after a a few years use, but i generally get the old cotton removed and put fresh and new cotton in it so that it is soft and good.In my country people do this and it works out cheaper.

Ronnyb, I enjoy responding to your disscussion points; I find myself laught at some issue that you bring to the table. You are GREAT, CONGRATULATIONS. Now to answer your querry. I turn over my mattress at different times. I do not have a time frame so to speak. Once in a while I do that. I do not have a problem like you (with a sink) I sleep at different places from time to time in different positions. Perhaps to you need to try different positions.

I don't turn on my mattress for two reasons. One, because it's too heavy. The mattress itself is about 9 inches thick and it's a queen size. Two, there isn't a need to because the mattress is the type you can tap dance on without the person sleeping on it waking up LOL

I really do not have a time frame. I just turn it when the mood hits me as I never have a depression on it I just do it to kind of freshen it up. As I live alone it is quite a chore for me to turn it often but I would guess it is when I change my bedding for the summer and winter seasons.

Traditionally, I've always heard people say our mattresses should be turned over every six months. And when I had a twin bed, that was very possible for me. But I have a pillow top queen size mattress right now, and for the life of me I can't turn it over. I have back and neck problems sure, but even if my back and neck were fine, I don't think I could turn it over by myself. And I can tell where I have slept when I get up in the morning. I need to drag one of my stronger friends over to my apartment and have them help me. lol

We used to do it about every 6 months but now that we have a waterbed we don't. It's supposed to be better for the mattress to flip it so that it doesn't get worn out on one side. [b]~~I AM WHO I AM~~ **STANDING STRONG IN MY BELIEFS**[/b]

I do turning your mattress is a good thing. I think it makes them last longer. Only problem i can't do that anymore. I use to turn mine at least a couple of times a year but now i'd probably end up between the springs & the mattress if i tried.

I grew up in the Southern part of the US. In growing up, it was a big deal every spring when everybody turned their mattress. They had mattress turning parties where neighbors gathered at the first house & turned their mattress. Then they moved to the second house & turned theirs. If there was an elderly couple or widow/widower, they would go to their home & offer to turn theirs. My Dad still makes sure his is turned every spring & he's 85 years old. According to my Dad, it stops the permanent depression & makes the mattress last longer. He thinks it's a sin to replace a perfectly good mattress. We also use mattress pads that helps protect the mattresses. Turning a mattress is easier if you have a second person to help you. If you have a ceiling fan...WATCH OUT!!!

Wow, your discussion reminds me that not only I have not turned my mattress over in ages, I haven’t vacuumed it either! I change the sheets every week and I spray the whole thing with disinfectant spray but unless my husband is around I can’t turn it over because it is too heavy and as far as vacuuming it, I keep leaving it…I might go an do it now, I would imagine that it should be turned over every six months or so and vacuumed at least once a month or more often.

Hello my friend ronnyb Ji, In fact, I come andbelong to family, where it used to be everyday's affair to roll back total bedding and remove cot from the scene on dailybasis, immediately aftergetting-up. As generations past, people including me reduced in capsule living and forgot that traditions. Now-a-days, like you, we too have doule bed, w3here only covers like bed-sheet/blankets/ quilts etc. are rolled back and kept neatly. How-ever, I have a matters which requires sides to be turned as per season, 'summer and winter' to make use of proper use of mattress. Finally I think, what you mean by depression.I think it i ssinking and mattres does requires to be turned as and when required. May God bless You and have a great time.

I wish I could. My husband and i just bought a new mattress about three years back and it is the worst mattress I ever spent money on, It is the most uncomfortable thing I have ever slept on, The thing about the mattress is the it also only has one side to it so there is no way to flip it over the only way we can flip is to switch the head to the foot and vice versa. I have made my own depressions in the mattress as well there are spots for my knees and shoulders to rest where there isn't any springs...needless to say I don't stay in bed that long and my husband and I also sleep on the couch in the weekend just to try and get a little bit of relief on our backs..

I dont turn my mattress over - its the kind that cant be turned over. I do however rotate it once in a while - no set time period just when i feel like rearranging my room.

I am always turning over my mattress and i am also a person that always hoovers the mattresses in the house as there is alot of dust that gathers in a mattress.

As a student,never.Evenif I will,the bed can't.So,keep the bed just it is.The mattress maybe once a month.Let's it to bask in the sun!just keep it clean of avoid being sick.Mon always do that at home,clean and wash,then clean.Everything always be neat.
