At what age did you flip the mattress to the firm side, from extra firm?

We flipped at 15 months; not really sure why. Perhaps if you visit the manufacturer's website you can get a better answer. Babycenter.com is also a good source of information.

We plan on flipping it when we convert to a toddler bed... perhaps around 15 months. I imagine it's mostly just important to have the infant side the 1st year--when SIDS is a higher risk. There isn't a dramatic difference between the two sides.

Ive never had mine upright, because you dont need to flop over.. there is only one side up on that type of mattress... just spin it around.. I have a big headboard and it is cumbersom to change the sheets.. when I try to strech the fitted sheet I have to put a small waste can under the corner so I can use two hands to pull the sheet taught.

On my Signature Sleep mattress, you would need to be about 300 lbs. to approach HALF that experience. I'm 170 and I find the mattress quite firm, but amazingly comfortable at the same time. You see the "tilt" in the reviews there. That purchase is easy!

The height of the mattress can be adjusted by moving the four bolts. The mattress we got can be flipped from infant to toddler firmness when that time comes.

We put a few layers of cotton cloth over the mattress and that seemed to do the trick. We were told that the mattress needs to be quite firm for a new born and so did not venture into making the surface too soft.

Not here I weigh 205 lbs I'm a body builder I tend to sleep about a foot from the edge of the bed because my 2 labs sleep on my bed with me.I've began to notice that the spot I'm sleeping in is much softer than the rest of the mattress.If I move over to the middle of the mattress it's like being on a new mattressI still wake up feeling great better than some $900 plus mattresses i've recently had

Try flipping your mattress first, then if that does not work, purchase the 3 inch extra firm...

I'd say a little in between both firm and soft. It is soft until you get settled then it gets a tad firm. I am a back sleeper but, occasionally I sleep on my side.

it is heavy but you could flip it. No need though as it is the same on each side. I guess if you stain one side you could flip it. No change in firmness though. I would recommend a waterproof cover. They make some for people with allergies that zip on. My daughter got sick and left a sweat stain from the fever.

ok, sorry, guess I wasn't quite understanding what you meant... without any numbers not really sure we could ever figure that out, but I will say--- I was heavy! When you take it out of the box (when it's all flat) it's a beast.... and maybe it was just me, but when you lay it out to unroll it, the wrong side is up, so you have to flip it... which is tough.HOWEVER, I am so serious.... it's the best mattress ever to sleep on!

Mine was also very firm at first. It is much softer now but firm. So yes it does get a little softer

I started forward facing when my baby reached 25 lbs (20 months). Her legs bent alot if she sits rear facing and started kicking the wall because she couldn't put her legs straight.

I spread it out, flipped it over for a while and re-flipped to let the cushion stretch and air. doesn't hurt to do this once or twice a week, stops gullys in the mattress.

Yes I flip it from time to time to rotate gel. It is great for my mom and much cheaper than getting with medicare insurance. it is well worth the investment my mom has been paralyzed for 5 years with no bedsores due to the support of the mattress pad.

I have a 6" on the top where my 8 year son sleeps, and an 8" foam mattress on the bottom. Can't really go more than 6" on the top; don't want a flip-over. On the bottom, the 8" foam has worked well.

The mattress is pretty firm but the firmness lasts only maybe 5-6 months before it starts loosing that from the sides. I would suggest staying away from this.

We aren't necessarily big. I weight about 200, my wife is small but VERY pregnant, and our five-year-old frequently jumps in with us. We have noticed NO indention. We do try to flip it once a month, which I guess helps. We also have it sitting on our old box spring, which I have been told can cause indentions underneath from the box spring metal. We haven't seen any though.I can not say enough how much I NOW enjoy going to bed. I dread sleeping on anything else, even the very nice bed we sleep on at my folks.
