Properly Rotating a King Size Mattress.

Kris writes:

Hi Pete,

I'd like to rotate our king-size pillowtop mattress 90 degrees, to help counter body impressions. 

My husband thinks that mattresses are not made to rotate only 90 degrees (something about the coils not being made to support weight in that direction). Is he right? 

Or would it be okay to rotate only 90 degrees? 

Thanks, Kris

 

Hi Kris,

A king size mattresses is the only size mattress you can rotate 90 degrees.

This 90 degree rotation is something we advocate to get the most from your king size mattress.

The point is to have it wear more evenly, which extends the comfort life of the mattress.

Simply put, your mattress will last longer with the 90 degree rotation than it would with 180 degree rotation. 

From the standpoint of value and getting the most for your money, that can only be seen as a good thing.

I don't know where your husband is getting his information, but he is incorrect.

This only works for Eastern, or standard, king size....not Cal. King...or any other size.

Only the Eastern king is square enough to rotate that way.

Flip or Rotate our new S&F mattress.

When we bought a new Stearns & Foster mattress for $1800 we were told that it shouldn't be turned or flipped, is this true? 

 

Hi,

Your new mattress is one sided and can't be flipped.

Rotating a mattress, especially when one person is considerably different in weight than the other, is the best way to insure that your mattress wears evenly.

However, there is so much memory foam in the new S&F models, I'm afraid there will be no getting around your level of disappointment in a year's time.

Proper care of a mattress under those conditions gets to be pointless after a while.

Thanks, Pete
