We probably flip ours three times a year. We have a relatively new mattress and when we bought it they said we don't need to flip it, but we do.

We flip ours once a year (June) and rotate it once a year (December).

we have a pillow top mattress so we cannot flip it but we do rotate the head and foot the last day of every month.

Our mattress can't be flipped. I rotate it every other time that I change the sheets.

We have a pillow top mattress with the pillow top on both sides so we are able to flip ours and rotate it. We do this at least 4 times a year.

I wish I could. We have a water bed that I dislike. I can't move the bed to clean or flip the mattress. I unzip the cover and wipe it down.

We also have a one side pillow top and can't flip. We rotate every month. It's very uncomfortable though and I wonder if it's partly due to lack of flippability.

We just rotated all the matresses this weekend. All of ours are pillow tops, so, can't flip. I need to set a certain day to do this, I just do it every now and again.
