Nobody loves slogging a heavy double mattress into a new position and that is another reason why pillow tops are so popular. But like any other object that is designed in a certain way, when it is used improperly, that design tends to fail.
In this case, damaging a pillow top can be as simple as turning it over — because it was not designed for this. Learn how to store your memory foam topper correctly. But overall, you can expect some of the following horrors. Bed manufacturers promise protection that lasts between 5 years and even a lifetime warranty. One might wonder how they can afford this when, surely, a lot of customers must request new mattresses because the old ones were damaged somehow.
Bed manufacturers can offer fantastic guarantees because they limit what customers can claim. In other words, read the fine print carefully before you buy! A guarantee can actually be revoked by the manufacturer if they feel that the mattress was damaged due to incorrect handling. In the case of pillow top mattresses, you are sure to find something in the small print about never turning the bed or the warranty might forfeit.
This makes sense. The manufacturer is not being mean. They simply designed a bed that should be cared for in a certain way and if customers protect the mattress, the brand will gladly replace any beds that still fail. Both sides had the additional pillow top sewn on to the mattress. A no-flip mattress has one fully upholstered side, with whatever fill materials between you and the springs. The other side is a piece of foam covered in a cloth. They are not marketing hype, just a realization that consumers didn't flip mattresses when they could.
So why make two-sided pieces? The mattress and has the pliiow top on one side so I guess its not suppose to be flipped. I just wonder if any one has flipped this style? I have no idea want kind of warranty comes with the mattress. I found no warranty papers with my receipt.
When I emailed Simmons about flipping and the fact I was not very satisfied that the mattress is sagging, they were not much help. They never said anything in reguards to flipping and said IF there is a warranty issue that I need to contact the store where it was purchased from.
I seem to never have any luck trying to warranty a product that Impurchase when something is wrong with it. How does a mattress start sagging after only 2 years and designed no to be flipped?
I suspect that if you flipped it anyway, it would be very uncomfortable. I don't think they built the bottom of the matress in a way that would be meant to be slept on. Have you tried the rotate option? I have the same problem. I'm tired of the sagging and simmons 1. Maybe I'll add a foam topper. We have the same problem with our simmons heavenly bed no flip pillow top.
It's about 3 years old, but started noticing a problem after only a year. The 1. Rotating it may help some, but then I get my husband's side which is sagging worse he's a big guy. I know we won't buy simmons again. I agree that the Simmons mattresses are not what they used to be. But then, is anything else and agree about the warranties. These are "gimmicks" that are rarely is ever honored and if they are, it cost the consumer more time to get them honored than the value of the warranty.
It is infuriating. Oh, yes, go buy something at the big box stores and ask them about the warranty and they tell you to call the company.
You call the company and they tell you to call the point of purchase. It's designed that way. I tell you, the system's again' us. I found this forum because I too am unhappy with my one-sided pillow top that is only a couple years old and starting to sag horribly. The dip in the middle is so obvious my cat curls up there. I'm terribly disappointed and after reading these responses, I see that I'm not alone. Lesson learned, I guess. I have a expensive Spring Air, which now has a grand canyon in the middle,it is a one sided pillow topped, I'm going to slice the padding off of the top with a stich ripper,then flip the mattress,and pin the pillow-top on the other side.
Same problem with my Simmons "heavenly" bed. It's 3 years old but started sagging after 1st year. It ain't so "heavenly" anymore. No more Simmons. Was there ever any resolution to the "can you flip a non-flip mattress" question? Has anyone tried it? I have a non-flip, non-pillowtop that just has the ticking on the one side. It's an extra-firm mattress. I wondered if I bought a mattress pad with a little extra cushion, or maybe a foam topper, if I could flip the mattress and sleep on the underside.
We had nothing to lose so we DID flip ours over. We have a Simmons no flip sagging pillowtop too. We've gotten no where with Simmons or the store we bought it from so finally just decided to turn it over. It's not super comfortable, but better than the alternative. Never again Simmons!!!! I'm having the same problem and thought of flipping and buying one of the 5" toppers. My only concern is if the springs will poke me in the back or they only spring one way or are closer to the top.
I'm going to try it, got nothing to lose. It lost its loving feeling after 6 months and after two years gives me backaches. It seems like everyone is getting backaches from these pillowtops. They're in southern California. They're the only ones I can't find any negative comments about.
I did burn them though because I did that nice fake phone in thing until I got on air and pretended to call in good things but I punked them and started talking about how badly it sagged and no one would answer the phones at the company. Since this post is so old i'd love to hear how you all ended up fairing all these years. I do notice after flipping it that the individual coils no longer work and you do get a little motion from your partner but I should be able to get rid of that when I get my gel memory foam topper from w mart.
My wife and I purshased a Tempurpedic about 6 years ago and it is still perfect. We had the same sagging problem. It looked like new but it was uncomfortable. We gave it to the drivers when they delivered our Tempurpedic.
I had the same sagging problem with my Simmons pillow top. I have flipped the mattress and although it is very firm, it is MUCH more comfortable than the pillow top side. Will be interesting to see how long this lasts. I will never buy a pillow top again. I sure am behind times.. Vacuuming mattresses reduces food crumbs, dust mites, and other debris. Never buy a new single-sided bed without considering the appropriate mattress protector.
You can find plenty of deep covers today that are specially designed for one sided pillow top bedding. Is there any information on how padded each side is? Or how you should protect the softer side of the bed? Read the care instructions that come with your purchase. Also, keep in mind that memory foam and hybrid mattresses are less likely to support flipping than beds with coil springs.
Your email address will not be published. Table of Contents. About The Author. This can lead to sagging in as little as two years, depending upon the pillowtop mattress brand and quality. But you are recommended to rotate them. Not doing this will lead to the mattress sagging earlier than it should. Since you cannot flip the pillowtop mattress, the manufacturers will recommend that you rotate it regularly. Doing this will level out the amount of wear and prolong the life of the mattress.
In general, you should expect your pillowtop mattress to last from eight to ten years. Keeping large, heavy objects from being set on the mattress is also critical, as too much weight concentrated on a small surface area will undoubtedly damage the springs. Hybrid mattresses and their pillowtop counterparts both contain springs inside of them. The difference between the two mattress designs is in how the springs are constructed and laid out. Inside a hybrid mattress, the coils are all individually wrapped so that that motion transfer will be minimized from one side of the bed to another.
Hybrid mattresses also contain a two-inch layer of memory foam on the top of the mattress. Pillowtop mattresses have springs laid out side by side, with each one connected to those surrounding it.
This causes coils to compress when they might not have any weight directly on top of it. While most pillowtop mattresses do not have memory foam, those with a layer that is much less than two inches thick.
