CB Helpful Hints

When’s the last time you turned your mattress? Yep, I thought so. Not good, especially if one or more persons of weight sleep on it. I turn mine once a month, the day after the first of the month when I’m changing the bed linen.

So, here’s how I started. First, a blank sheet of paper. Mark the upper left corner with a 3. Twist the paper around 180 degrees so that the 3 is upside down in the lower right corner. Mark the upper left corner with a 4. Turn the paper over, left to right. Mark a 1 in the upper left corner, a 2 in the lower right (turn yourself around so the 2 is upside down compared to the 1.) If you hold the paper up to the light you’ll see a number in each corner. Now practice turning the “mattress” with the paper until you’re comfortable with it.

Get yourself a black laundry marker (indelible so it doesn’t ever run onto the bed linen). Write the numbers on the mattress as you did with the paper. (See, you’re starting with a 1 in the upper left corner.) So every 4 months you’re back a 1 in the upper left corner, and the mattress is getting more even wear.

What is your helpful hint for CBs?
