Turn and rotate mattress if recommended.
Turning is especially important for innerspring mattresses. The mattress industry is moving towards non-turn mattresses, but many mattresses still need to be turned on a regular basis. Rotating and turning your mattress will help it wear more evenly. It will help to maximise comfort, minimise body impressions in the mattress, and make sure your mattress lasts as long as possible. A good place to start is to use a safety pin and attach it to the right hand corner of your mattress. When turning, rotate the mattress so that the safety pin is on the opposite side. Then, just move the pin to a different corner every time you turn your mattress. Some manufacturers recommend turning and rotating every two weeks for the first three months, then every two or three months thereafter. One-sided mattresses only need rotating.

Review the warranty.
Make sure to carefully read the warranty card that comes with your mattress. It will give you a basic guideline for maintaining your mattress. Proper maintenance and attention is the key to mattress longevity. When properly cared for, your mattress should last at least the life of the warranty. However, it is important to note that even with proper care, mattresses have a finite life and need to be replaced. Choosing a quality mattress in the first place is your best insurance to getting the most value for your money, back and your health.
Never fold or bend your mattress.
Try to bend it as little as possible when carrying around corners. Avoid sitting on the edge of the mattress as this could damage the frame, spring or border.
