good question. It is such hard work to achieve. tend to do it every six months' or so as it nearly kills us.

Never. Fuck that. Luckily this one is not necessary to flip.

Every 3 or 4 months I turn it end to end. Thankfully it doesn't need flipping over.

Feeling slightly OCD now given that I flip end to end and upside down when I wash the bedding...which is weekly lol and Ive no real reason too-just habit probably

Omg, I Am So Confused Now, Just Got A New Bed And I Have Never Flipped A Mattress Before, And Everyone Who See's The Bed Keeps Telling Me To Make Sure To Flip It. :/

some cant be flipped though,those with a memory foam or latex topper,just need turning end to end,ours was monthly for the first six months and three monthly after that.

I do it about every 3 monthly. I even have a reminder set on my to-do list.

You flip it to prolong the life of a mattress. After sleeping in the same position on it night after night for a while, the mattress sink into your shape. If you turn it, then you get back to a part of the mattress that's 'fresh'.
