Do mattresses have a top side and a bottom side? The label.?

Question

Yes I know this is an odd question. On a mattress is there a top side and a bottom side? Is the top of a mattress the side where the label usually is?

Answer 1

Generally there is not a top and bottom side. As a matter of fact, you should turn your mattress over about one a month to keep it firm.

Answer 2

it's not an odd question.  some mattresses are manufactured with a top and bottom, and others are reversible.  If your mattress has a top or pillowtop, you will definately be able to tell.  Most mattresses are reversible so that you can flip it and get even wear out of it.

Answer 3

Depends on the mattress, really. You'd have to ask the store where you bought it to be really sure of the answer.

"Pillow-top" mattresses and those "finished" with quilted fabric  on only one of the large surfaces would obviously only have a top side but most mattresses finished on both large surfaces are intended to be used and flipped every so often for even wear.

Answer 4

Yea...

Don't think that it really matters which way round you have it but normally there would be a label and I think that is meant to face up.

Answer 5

The label is usually at the bottom side of the mattress.....sometimes it may be on the top side.....but rarely the label is found on top...

Answer 6

There are actually several types of mattresses, the standard and most common is a double sided mattress where it is finished on both sides (I'm assuming this is what you have). With this style mattress you should flip / rotate them to add to it's longevity. So which ever side is on the bottom is not the top.

Answer 7

Well I've heard it's good to flip your mattress every so often so I'm assuming that it could go either way.
