A. Turning and rotating are techniques to extend the useful life of a mattress. At one time, turning and rotating your mattress was a hard, firm criteria put forward by all manufacturers. Today Park Place and others market a combination of single-sided (no turn) products as well as the traditional reversible innerspring mattresses. Use your common sense and good judgment in the care and handling of your mattress. A reversible mattress will last longer and provide more comfort and support if you turn and rotate it occasionally. A single-sided mattress will also last longer and provide more comfort and support if you rotate it occasionally. If you notice a wear pattern developing with your mattress, we recommend turning it if possible, rotating it if you can't turn it or altering behavior (such as sitting on the same side of the bed each day while dressing) whenever possible.
