Flip the mattress. Even when the manufacturer states that this isn't required, to ensure even wear, flip the mattress from head to foot every other month. This will help prevent the ridge that forms because the padding has been compressed during normal use.

2
Turn the mattress over. Besides flipping it from head to foot, turn the mattress over. This should be done during the months when the mattress isn't flipped from head to foot. This will allow the padding on the other side of the mattress to decompress.
