- How to flip a heavy mattress with only one person. My king size pillow top mattress weighs over 120lbs from Original Mattress Factory and I don't have enough headroom to stand it up and flip it over. My technique is to slide the mattress down at least half way and bend the bottom half upwards and over so that the bottom (which was the top) kicks out. It is now a one person job that takes less than a minute. Note: your mattress needs to be able to bend like this without forcing it so you don't damage the mattress. I have heard that some mattress don't naturally bend the way mine does. Some manufacturers put in this bending ability to allow it to move through tight corners and hallways when moving the mattress. But when it works, it works nicely.

Thank you, this gave me the motivation to try it and got it done! Tougher for a KING size by yourself.
Glad it helped!
You saved my back and sanity all in one go. Cheers!
My husband put the mattress wrong side up… Didn’t realize it till he went to hospice care. Mine was super heavy california king memory form mattress😅 Does not fold neither but used your theory and pulled as much as I can and pretentious fold first… It sprung up and stood up to celling as a holder now(I figured a length of california king is about the same to ceiling!) Now slide it little by little to the edge of bed frame and push it down. Bingo! I am 5’3” average size asian 60 yr old woman, and mattress should be 130 pounds or more but could flip it by myself. Thank you for the idea😊
You are quite welcome and that is awesome! Glad it helped.
Thank you! From a tiny Irish housewife
Glad that worked for you.
This worked great!I We're in our 60's and kept putting this off cause it was always such a struggle. Tried your method and got 'er done!
Excellent!
Thank you!! I'm a very tiny small squinny woman and had to flip over my queen size spring matress on my own. This technique worked like charm!!!!
Wonderful!
This works great. 60+ years old and this was easy with super heavy pillow top king mattress.
Thank you!! This helped me and my grandma flip a king mattress, bless you ❤
So glad this helped!
Ahhhhh thank youuuuuu!!!!!!
You're welcome. Glad it worked for you!
Southern Man , thanks a bunch!
Okay...that might work for a man with upper body strength, but I'm 5'2 and my mattress is a simple full size but it won't fold UNLESS I wrangle it out onto the floor...out of the high head and foot board. I tried standing on box springs and attempting the fold but ended up ass over the end of the foot board on a cast iron bed *OOCH*...but problem is lifting the dang thing back onto the bed. HAHA! I label tops and bottoms...A...B...C...and D cause mattress likes to flip itself back to where it was to begin with...for some odd reason after removing it from the bed onto the floor on it's sides.
Omg! I love you! I did it! And with a frozen rotor cuff! 💪 Thank you! ❤
Well thank you for the nice message! I'm glad it worked so well for you.
I'm having a similar problem with my Queen size mattress. I'll give this a try.
Brilliant, love these tips!
Thank you. Glad I can help.
thank you so much
Thanks for this, worked perfect!
Awesome! Thanks for the response. Glad it worked for you.
Thank you so so much for this! ❤
You're so welcome!
OMG .. thank uuuuuu .. mine has handles on the long sides, so i was trying to flip it that way .. mind blown 🤯👏😍
You’re welcome 😊
Can I do it also by my own?
I pray this works for us!! I don't know how flexible it is. LOL
I guess I was lucky that my mattress is very bendable. Good luck with yours.
Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of having a mattress that will fold in half. It's very heavy and solid. I wish it was that easy!
Unfortunately not all mattresses are built to bend in the middle.
Not suitable for all mattresses, you can damage the springs on some models.
True Lesley. Not all mattresses have this level of flexibility. To her point, don't force or bend your mattress. But when it works, it works nicely without much effort.
I have to flip my mattress on my own but some videos say to rotate and then flip but I think it’s difficult for me to do both. Is it necessary to also rotate the mattress if I do your method? I don’t know why some videos say to do both .. Thank you!
Hi, I am not an expert but flipping addresses top/bottom wear, and rotating addresses left/right side wear. I heard that you alternate those options. Again, I'm not an expert but that's what I do every six months to maintain even wear. Hope that helps.
This is totally doable except i can't even slide my layla mattress, it is soooo heavy. Dunno what I'm going to do... 😭 edit to add: just looked it up, it weighs 103 lbs
I flipped mine I got pushed into the wall I went flying
