Does this mattress need to be turned?

So far, I would say the answer is no, but we've only had this for a few months.

No, the guide did not mention it, and the soft padding design cannot be turned to the other side.

No, it should not be as it is not designed to be turned; thick paddling is on the top of individually pocket springs.

This mattress is compressed and it will pop up to size out of the box. This mattress isn't rolled and it has springs/coils. :-)

Hi Dennis, Thanks for your interest in the Drive Medical Premium Guard Gel Mattress Overlay. It is not necessary to allow it to lay flat before using however, it wouldn't hurt to allow it to straighten out and settle before using.

No, it is NOT flippable. This mattress has a pillow top, an extra layer on the side it is supposed to be slept on. If you flipped it the mattress would not be as soft; it would feel like a different bed.

You have to leave it on but the sound of the maintenance is far below the inflation.Only problem I found was the mattress tended to over inflate and loose that nice shape they have in all the pictures.I am somewhat heavier than a lot of people and mine also tore around one of the dimples.

it is heavy but you could flip it. No need though as it is the same on each side.I guess if you stain one side you could flip it.No change in firmness though.I would recommend a waterproof cover. They make some for people with allergies that zip on.My daughter got sick and left a sweat stain from the fever.

Nope, but you don't need to. It doesn't sag over time like normal mattresses.

It should be flat. I'm guessing your base isn't level; the mattress is still expanding; or perhaps it is defective but this would be a really big quality control oversight if it is a defect. Mine was misshapen until about 48 hrs after it was unpacked

I, too, have a "no flip", but not sure about the top of the mattress. In my previous comments, you may notice that I put mine "across" the bed instead of up and down. I am beginning to notice that the side less slept on is higher than the "sleep" side. But theres still no sagging where lower back lays.

No. I had it in the sitting position for most of the time that i used the mattress.

No, the base is not included. And due to the arrangement of the foam materials (soft light pad on top), the mattress can not be flipped. I would like to add tho that because the mattress is made of memory foam, it does not require flipping like a spring mattress would.

Gregory, when I opened my mattress, it began expanding immediately. I opened mine before leaving on a two-day trip; when I got back, it was ready to go. I do the recommended rotation every two weeks and am pleased with the mattress quality and comfort thus far. Hope all works out well for you.

We use on a cal king bed. You do not need to flip the mattress....only lift one corner at a time. The suspenders lay on top of the box spring. It would be good if you have help, but not necessary. When I change my sheets I just lift the corner and disconnect. Then put on clean sheets and lift corner of mattress to click sheet into place.

Hello the bed comes rolled but once you unfold it thats it.The mattress gets puffy and stiff. You might be able to bend it in half only.

You would have to remove the mattress, release the sides, fold it up and lay or stand it flat. A hassle but not very difficult. It's one of the few cribs on the market - maybe the only one - that is portable in this way.

It's already ready to use. However I like to protect my mattress with a cover if that's what you mean. we like it very much. Make sure you wash with cold water and put it in low heat in the dryer.

I would say, "no." Our mattress is a pillow top on only one side and in pretty rough condition. I actually ended up flipping the mattress over to the non-pillow top side and put the pad on that side... it's been GREAT since I did that!
