How to Adjust a Coil Mattress

Coil mattresses should be flipped and turned every three months to prevent overuse of part of the mattress. This increases the lifespan of your mattress and prevents dips or lumps from forming in the mattress. Try to adjust your mattress the first day of each new season to ensure you don't forget to perform this task.

      Lift one side of the mattress up from the box spring. With a partner's help, lift one side of the mattress so that the mattress is resting vertically on the box spring.

      Push the mattress gently so that it slowly falls over. With a partner's help, guide the mattress so that the side of the mattress that was previously on the right side of the bed is now on the left side of the bed.
