IKEA UK recommends regular rotation but says flipping depends on the care guide; IKEA Switzerland cautions against flipping its one-sided models. Different product designs need different routines.

1. Find the model name and care label; verify its manufacturer-approved maintenance.
2. Rotation means turning the head end to the foot end by 180 degrees, at the model's recommended interval.
3. Flipping changes the top and bottom faces; never flip a one-sided mattress.
4. Use a protector and follow each removable cover's own washing instructions.
5. Air the bed and clean surface dust only by the method approved for that model.
6. Avoid lifting heavy mattresses alone or sharply folding them; check warranty and replacement guidance for severe sagging.
