Mattress flipped or rotated to spread wear evenly and extend its life. No back strain, no awkward lifting - we'll handle the heavy work and get your bed made up again after.
### When Your Mattress Needs Turning
You know you're supposed to **flip the mattress**. The label says "rotate every 3 months" or something like that. You've been meaning to do it for... 18 months now.
The thing weighs a tonne. Your bedroom's cramped. Your back's not great. It keeps getting postponed.
Meanwhile, your side of the bed is getting that telltale dip in it.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** A decent mattress costs £500-£1500. Regular flipping/rotation can extend its life by 3-5 years. That's a lot of value from a 20-minute task you should do twice a year.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Access the Mattress I'll strip the bedding off (or work around it if you prefer), and move the bed from the wall if needed to get proper access. ### Step 2: Flip or Rotate I'll check your mattress type (one-sided or double-sided), then either flip it over or rotate 180°, whichever it's designed for. ### Step 3: Check Condition While I'm handling it, I'll check for any issues - sagging, damage to the cover, stains, wear patterns. Let you know if anything looks concerning. ### Step 4: Make the Bed Bed pushed back into place, mattress protector and sheets back on if you want it made up. Otherwise I'll leave the bedding for you to sort.

Good to Know
> 🛏️ **Whole house job?** If you want all the mattresses in the house done (kids' beds, spare room, your room), I'll do them all in one visit. More efficient than multiple trips, and you'll have everything sorted in one go. **Regular service:** Some customers book me seasonally - April and October mattress rotation for the whole house. Reminder goes in the diary, job gets done, mattresses last longer. Costs less than replacing them early. **Mattress protectors:** While I'm flipping your mattress, it's a good time to fit a waterproof protector if you haven't got one. Protects against spills, sweat, allergens. Worth doing while the bed's stripped anyway. **Is your mattress done for?** If flipping reveals serious sagging, permanent dips, or broken springs, I'll let you know honestly. Some mattresses are beyond help and need replacing - no point throwing good money after bad. **Exeter's older houses** often have awkward staircases and small bedrooms. If you bought your mattress before moving in and now can't figure out how it even fits in the room, you're not alone. I'm used to working in tight Victorian and Edwardian spaces - no bedroom too cramped.
Frequently Asked Questions about Mattress flipping in Ottery St Mary
Why do mattresses need flipping?
You sleep in the same spot every night, which compresses that area. Flipping or rotating spreads the wear evenly, which extends the mattress life by years. Most manufacturers recommend it every 3-6 months.
What's the difference between flipping and rotating?
Rotating means turning 180° (head becomes foot). Flipping means turning over (top becomes bottom). Modern mattresses are often one-sided (can't flip), but all mattresses benefit from rotation. I'll check your mattress type and do whichever it needs.
Can't I just do this myself?
You could, but modern mattresses are heavy (20-40kg for a double, more for king/super king), and awkward to manoeuvre in a bedroom. Easy to strain your back or damage the mattress. Especially tricky if you've got limited space around the bed.
Will you move the bed as well?
If needed, yes - some beds need pulling out from the wall to access the mattress properly. I'll move it back after and make sure everything's lined up nicely.
How often should I have my mattress flipped?
Every 3-6 months is ideal, depending on the mattress type. I can set reminders if you want this as a regular service - some customers book me seasonally (spring and autumn mattress flip).
