Mattresses

Routine Care Task

Rotate mattresses

Similar to the way that the useful life of your car's tires can be extended by rotating them, you can prolong the life of your mattress by rotating it.

Regular rotation of your mattress allows it to recuperate from the constant pressure of your body, and helps prevent creating a groove in your mattress, which can be uncomfortable to sleep on.

Priority

Timing: Every 6 months: February, September (yearly)
