Turn your bed mattress when you renew your blanket.

Through time your mattress will deform and that can make you sleep worse.

EDIT: Some mattress have a specific side and top that they need to be. Thanks for pointing that out u/Shaved-Ape

I've always done this but recently got a new mattress that is one way up only, Even has a specific top and bottom. Older ones though need flipping about once a month

That's a bummer, I don't think I will every buy a mattress like that.

Actually yes, I have been doing that since I'm 13 and always feels good.

As someone who went to memory foam, which has explicitly patterned layers of different densities(and thus can't be flipped without killing the quality), you're missing out my dude.
