Mattress Flipper
You can get hurt trying to turn over a big mattress by yourself.
I know because I've done just that.
You can also destroy precious art, sculpture, photos and other incunabula perched precariously on your nightstand, desk or dresser.
When that puppy starts to crease in the center and fold over, better watch out.
Now there's a solution.
From the website:
- Mattress Handles
Time to flip the mattress — and now it's easier than ever with Mattress Handles.
Slip harness straps over any size mattress and grip handles to lift, turn or move more easily.
Leave on for later — comfortable under bedding.
$9.98 (mattress not included).
FunFact: You should flip your mattress every three months.
I've never met a single person who does that.
Have you?

Our mattress gets flipped every four weeks. Why four weeks? 'Cos that's how long the library lets you keep books out for.

Our mattress gets flipped every few weeks. Top to bottom, left to right and even rotated every so often. There's no pattern to it as we can never remember what we did previously. No matter how it is oriented, I still only end up with a narrow 1 foot strip down the side to sleep on!

Hey Swami,
Oooh, I like that, I think I'll just call you "Swami" always -- anyhow, once a few years back I was trying to flip my big giant heavy queen-sized 17-inch thick mattress and in the midst of the heave-ing and ho-ing (!!) and slamming around and knocking stuff off walls and shelves, my then cat, a twenty-two pound Siamese, took note of all the commotion, jumped on the mattress and decided it was a ride just for him. We had such fun that I left the mattress propped against the wall that night (slept on my living room couch) so we could have another round the next day.
Talk about a spoiled feline.
