Do you flip and turn your mattress?....if so how often?.....we do ours when we spring our clocks ahead, and then fall back our clocks

Why? What good does that do?

For us it's to wear it evenly, they tell you to do that anyways...google it and that can explain better

Best Answer:  Mattresses should be flipped twice a year. It will make your mattress last longer, and it will be more comfortable because the mattress won't begin to sag as quickly.

Here's a great way to remember: Spring, spin, fall flip.
The means the in the spring, one side of the bed gets spun to be on the other side.
In the fall, the foot of the bed becomes the head of the bed.

If you don't mind writing on the mattress, consider this: Write a number 1 by your head on the mattress itself, a number three at your husband's feet. Write a number 2 on the underside of where your husband's head rests and a 4 on the underside of the corner where your feet rest.
Bear with me. It sounds complex but if you do it in the corners of a sheet of paper, you'll see what this means.
If you do this, it guarantees you flip the mattress correctly. You start with number 1 under you head. Every six months, make sure the next number is under your head.

As for the Lysol and bleach, this is more likely to create respiratory problems for you than to make your life safer and better. Your bedroom is the last place you should be putting chemicals because you spend 6 to 8 hours breathing in the residual fumes each night. The biggest thing to fear in your mattress is dust mites. They aren't being killed by the Lysol or bleach wipedown. Instead, when you flip your mattress, strip all of the sheets, and vacuum both sides with a vacuum that uses a HEPA filter. This way, you're actually suctioning out mites; their waste, which causes breathing problems and the dead skin cells they thrive on. It's probably a good idea to do this more often, but doing it when you flip the mattress makes life easier.

Mattresses are a sin,sleep on a floor,in a chair,less comfortable you are then the less lazy you are and more productive.

Yes we do flip and, as you put it, spin.  Always have because it seems to help on sagging.   

[BATISTAGIRL663]

yes i do flip but i think it's flipped about out --- i need a new mattress so very bad --with my medical issues its really hard to find a mattress that supports my needs i have seriously thought about getting a hospital bed and see if that would help --i truly like your idea of flipping when we change the clock !!

I actually have the flipless matress that you never have to turn.  Spent a few more dollars but worth it.
