The need to periodically flip and rotate a mattress

You may have come across the term rotating and flipping of mattress. This is generally advised by dealers and retailers of mattresses. While some individuals are aware of the benefits of flipping and rotating a mattress many are ignorant. Before we look into the benefits of flipping and rotating it is necessary to understand that only some mattresses can be flipped over, while on mattresses can be rotated. Therefore this needs to be ascertained from the retailer.

How longevity can be extended by rotating a mattress

You may sleep in a particular position and throughout your sleep cycle, the pressure on the Mattress Austin will be sustained. This will be a matter of routine and will continue for as long as the mattress is used. Over a period of time, the mattress will begin to lose its cushioning effect and its form quality. This will be because of sustained pressure on a particular area. By rotating the mattress it is possible to extend the life of the mattress by ensuring that the pressure is distributed evenly. This will more or less spread the pressure over a vast area thereby ensuring that the mattress retains its cushioning effect.

If you can flip and rotate your Mattress Austin once in 6 months you will get better comfort levels. While you can actually do this more frequently also, doing it once in 6 months will actually suffice. The advantage of flipping and rotating at the same time is that it delivers both the benefits together. A rotated mattress will distribute the pressure across different areas on the same side. A flipped mattress will distribute the pressure across two sides but on the same area.

Why some mattresses lose the cushioning effect quickly

When a mattress remains in the same position for a very long time, the continued compression of the mattress will make it lose the cushioning effect. This is precisely why it is necessary to flip the mattresses periodically. Flipping the mattress will allow the mattress to retain the cushioning effect and this will extend the life of the mattress. However, it needs to be remembered that this will only apply in mattresses that can be flipped. Mattresses that cannot be flipped, are designed to have greater cushioning effect despite sustained use.

Why flipping and rotation as a combination is good
