Moments like me rotating my mattress by myself make me want to acquire a video camera and a tripod. I have a queen sized pillow top mattress, so it's thick and heavy. That's kind of like how I like my men, but I digress.

Had a video camera been trained on me in my bedroom during this delicate mattress dance (that's right, I said mattress dance), you would have seen the mattress fall on me, following a series of desperate, yet amusing recovery measures on my part.

Some flailing was involved.
Some squirming and spinning.
Some falling backwards and legs in the air.

Regardless. When all was said and done, the mattress was rotated where it needed to be, and required only a little movement two inches to the right.

Heavy mattresses

[opalturtle.livejournal.com]

Once upon a time I had a full bed that belonged to my great grandparents. Mattress too. It was one of the old kind with rope handles built into the sides for moving/turning it, etc. Lemme tell ya, they didn't make em light in those days. I think they used concrete foam or something - oh it was kinda floppy. I tried turning the mattress by myself once or twice. So I had this huge, old and heavy mattress folding itself over my head and around my body till I could get it turned, then I had to push it back up with my head while standing on tiptoe and just sortof drop it back onto the bed - or fall with it.

Now we have a Tempur-Pedic mattress. You wanna talk heavy. The pillows weigh 3+ pounds. Each. That comfort foam is comfortable but dang is it heavy. I do not look forward to turning it should we ever decide to. I won't be doing it by myself needless to say!

Fortunately, these mattresses don't need to be turned.
