Flipping a pillowtop mattress.

Hi Pete,

I've read your advice about flipping a pillowtop mattress and adding a topper.

Like so many others, our pillowtop is sagging and causing back pain, and it's only a year old..

Are you sure we can turn over a pillow-top mattress?

I've always heard that you cannot, so we have only rotated it, but have not turned it over.

Thanks, Nancy

Hi Nancy,

The pillow top part of a mattress is the 1st thing to wear…a bad choice when buying a mattress.

Once worn, anything you put on top will conform to the sag you already have.

It’s made as a one sided mattress, but flipping it is your only chance of not having to buy a new mattress.

Flipping a one sided mattress to its firm side is a trick that works often enough to try, and costs nothing.

Add what you have handy, like a comforter, to see if it will work for you.

If your back pain goes away, then add a Plush Removable Mattress Topper.

Like any of the ones shown here:

You Should Know

Using an old box spring to support any new mattress will cause premature wear and void the manufacturer’s warranty.

A waterproof mattress protector will extend the life of a mattress by keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry.
