You should not flip your mattress unless the mattress has a flippable structure or design. Previously, one could flip the mattress quickly, with little or no loss of comfort. Not until it is more customary to build a single-sided mattress, which is designed to provide some particular benefits to its sleeper. Flipping such cushions can create discomfort and loss of sleep. Rotating your mattress frequently is an excellent idea. The practice of turning the surface of the mattress helps in maintaining a proper sleep surface that is supportive and comfortable. Latex or memory foam mattresses benefit from rotation two to three times every year, while a new innerspring mattress can be rotated one to two times every year.
