Sleeping well at night begins with a great mattress. However, do you understand there is a little care needed? According to professionals, rotating and flipping the mattress frequently is essential for preventing it from wearing down in specific areas and extending its duration of use.

“If your mattress begins to sag or lose shape, it is no longer providing the support you require,” explains Tyler Roberts of Mattress Firm. “This can lead to aches and pain due to improper spinal alignment, predominantly in your neck, shoulders, and back.”

Rotation and turning are excellent mattress care methods that will provide numerous nights of sound sleep.

How Frequently Should You Rotate Your Mattress?

Rotating a mattress avoids wear and tear in a concentrated area, which is especially significant for mattresses that do not require flipping. Roberts recommends that you rotate your mattress every six months to a year. This proposal is flexible; you can change the timing as needed.

“If you notice or feel any compressions or uneven spots, rotate your mattress,” says Laura Scott Troyano of Avocado Green Brands. She says Avocado mattresses, in particular, should be rotated frequently at first and less often over time.

“To prevent body impressions, spin your mattress—head to foot—once every month for the first six months. It will take five-plus rotations to ensure even distribution,” Troyano says. “After the first six months, rotating every other month ensures even wear over the lifespan of the mattress.”

Experts agree that you should maintain good cleaning practices for the mattress and rotate it frequently. To make this chore easier to remember, time your mattress cleaning with flipping or rotating so you can do everything at the same time. 

Which Type of Mattress Is Best?

The optimal type of mattress for you is determined by your specific tastes and needs. The best mattress type varies widely from person to person. For example, if you prefer a more classic feel and bounce in your mattress, innerspring mattresses may be your best option. 

On the other hand, if you want a mattress that conforms to your body and gives good pressure relief, memory foam mattresses may be the best option. Latex mattresses are popular due to their durability and hypoallergenic properties, making them ideal for individuals concerned about the environment.

Hybrid mattresses effortlessly blend the benefits of innerspring, memory foam, or latex, providing both adaptability and comfort. Finally, the optimal mattress type for you is determined by your sleeping posture, unique health problems, and personal comfort needs. Exploring several sorts and testing them in-store will help you make the best decision.

What Type of Mattress is Best for Sleeping on Your Stomach?

If you sleep on your stomach, you should seek a firmer mattress to support and cushion your middle while keeping your spine upright. This is critical: sleeping on your stomach on a mattress with insufficient support can cause greater back, neck, and shoulder pain.

Medium-firm mattresses are often suggested. They provide the required support to keep your body upright and relieve strain on your neck and back. Search for mattresses with good support systems, such as innerspring or hybrid mattresses, which blend coils and foam for balanced support.

Memory foam and latex mattresses are also fantastic choices because they conform to your body while offering support. However, ensure that they are on the firmer side.

How Often Should You Change Your Mattress?

According to Shelby Harris, a clinical psychologist and sleep specialist, the sort of material used to make it determines when it should be replaced. Latex should be changed in 10–15 years. Memory foam requires that low-quality mattresses should be replaced after around five years.

Higher-quality ones can be replaced every eight to ten years. Innerspring should be changed from five to ten years. Hybrid materials should be replaced every seven to ten years.

However, there are other reasons you may need to replace it besides the number of years you’ve had it. “Our bodies change, too. [We] gain weight, lose weight, or have to sleep in a different position for a variety of reasons, including pain, surgery, and so on,” Harris explains. “You want to see if it is accommodating those changes.”
