A couple of decades ago, all innerspring mattresses were double-sided. You would routinely flip your mattress to refresh your sleeping surface every few months. In the early 2000s, mattress manufacturers began making one-sided mattresses as a lower-cost option. The single-sided design caught on quickly. However, some manufacturers still make double-sided mattresses. Here are a few reasons many people prefer them.

Why Get a Double-Sided Mattress?

1. Longer Lifespan

It makes sense that when your single-sided mattress has worn out, you need to replace it. But if your double-sided mattress is wearing out, you can just flip it over. Both sides are designed to be slept on, so the lifespan of the mattress is nearly twice that of a comparable single-sided one.

2. Refreshed Sleeping Surface

Mattresses begin to mold to your body as you sleep night after night, forming a depression in the surface. If you share a bed with a partner, their side of the bed may have a different shape than yours. Being able to flip your mattress gives you two benefits. First, it gives you a refreshed, flat sleeping surface again. Second, it lets the other side “recover” and redistribute its padding so you can flip it again in a few months.

3. Sturdy Design

A double-sided mattress has a robust coil system in the center that is sandwiched between the two sleeping surfaces. The metal coils are what give a mattress its resilience to wear and tear. A single-sided mattress requires less steel since the padding is all on one side.

4. Adjustable Firmness

Many double-sided mattresses come with a different firmness on each side. This versatility is an excellent feature if you are furnishing a guest room. You can use whichever side of the mattress suits your guests’ preference.
