To rest well It is very important to maintain or improve our health. and the mattress plays an essential role in it. a good mattress it can last up to ten years if we give it proper maintenance. Cleaning it regularly, rotating it or flipping it periodically are some of the guidelines we can apply. But how often should we do it?
Rotate or flip the mattress
The first thing we need to keep in mind is that the most modern mattresses have a different design than the old ones. As explained in ‘Foundation of sleep‘depends on the specific characteristics of each mattress, but in general, most mattresses should be rotated regularly, but it is not necessary to turn them.
This is because the mattresses of today they are designed to be used on one side only, which means your design is not suitable for flipping. If you do, you will not feel comfortable as the support is too solid to lie down directly on and may end up deforming. Also, the mattress wears out faster causing us discomfort and pain. That said, the foundation highlights it some mattresses are designed to be folded over, such as folding mattresses or those made entirely of foam rubber.
When to turn the mattress
Over the years, the weight of people sleeping on the mattress ends up compressing the internal material. If this pressure is not distributed over the entire surface, malformations may appear in the material which worsen the quality of rest.
