How can I avoid compression and avoid dips in a mattress?
Choose the right mattress for your needs and weight. Make sure to rotate your mattress, and flip it if required.
By making sure you purchase the correct mattress, both for your needs and weight, will help to reduce compression. If you are looking for a new mattress, please use our Find the right mattress tool to assist you with your decision.
If you already have a mattress, make sure it is regularly rotated to encourage even compression across the whole mattress. You may also need to flip your mattress - please check the care instructions in the instructions, or check on our website to see if this is required.
