To Flip – Or Not to Flip!

A mattress is a buy you don't want to do often, and one of the most frequently asked questions we receive is whether to flip an existing mattress or opt for a new one. But there's a secret ingredient that most people overlook: weight.

Why Weight Matters

When it comes to choosing a mattress, the weight of the individual(s) sleeping on it plays a crucial role. Every mattress is built with a specific weight capacity in mind, affecting the support system, cushioning, and overall durability.

•        Support & Durability: The right mattress will support your body weight without sagging or losing its firmness.

•        Long-Term Value: Investing in a mattress that matches your weight means you won't have to replace it sooner than expected.

The Flip Debate: To Flip or Not to Flip?

For years, flipping a mattress was considered essential to maintain its shape and longevity. However, not all modern mattresses are designed to be flipped.

•        Double-Sided vs. Single-Sided: Traditional mattresses were made to be flipped, but many of today’s models are single-sided and are designed with a specific top layer for comfort.

•        Weight Distribution: A mattress built for even weight distribution is key—if you get it wrong, the mattress won't last as expected.

Turning vs. Flipping: Understanding the Difference

Another common question we encounter is whether you should flip the mattress or simply turn it. Here’s the lowdown:

•        Non-Flip Mattresses: Many modern mattresses are non-flip models. For these, flipping is not recommended because they have a designated comfort layer on top. Instead, you should turn the mattress—rotating it 180 degrees every 3 to 6 months helps ensure even wear and prevents sagging in one specific area.

•        Turn Mattresses: If your mattress is specifically designed as a turn mattress, then flipping is acceptable. However, caution is advised—especially with models featuring memory foam, as their unique top layers may lose comfort if flipped.
