How often should I rotate my mattress?

It is recommended to rotate mattresses every 4 to 6 months. This is particularly important if there is a significant weight difference between the people using the bed. Rotating a mattress involves turning it 180 degrees, effectively making the foot of the bed the head, and vice versa. This allows the mattress surface to recover from prolonged body indentations, contributing to its longevity.
