Mattress Care

Should you rotate a Tempurpedic mattress?

Yes, you should rotate a Tempurpedic mattress, turning it 180 degrees from head to foot on a regular schedule so body weight wears the foam evenly across the surface.

All-foam beds like Tempurpedic's soften first where you sleep most, usually the hips and shoulders. Rotating spreads that pressure over fresh foam and slows body impressions. You don't flip it, since the comfort layers sit on top and the base layer underneath isn't meant to be slept on.

  • A Tempurpedic mattress is a memory foam construction with comfort layers on top and a firm base below, so it is rotated, not flipped.
  • Rotation means a 180-degree turn, moving the head end to the foot end.
  • Wear on a foam mattress concentrates under the hips and shoulders, the heaviest pressure points for most sleepers.
  • Buyers commonly ask how often to replace a mattress, and even tempurpedic memory foam eventually loses support regardless of rotation.
