Abstract: A method and device for determining mattress rotation sequence and time by tracking the position of cues on a graphically imprinted device. In a preferred embodiment a board is imprinted with cues representing the twelve calender months of the year. A pair of hanging slots represents the direction or rotation to turn the mattress (i.e., head to foot or over). Each month and mattress position has a corresponding cue. If desired a first label is affixed to the foot-end of the top side of the mattress and a second label of a different color or configuration is affixed to the foot-end of the bottom side of the mattress. The consumer selects the time and mattress-rotation cue wherein a cue may be any signal which is directional, tactile, visual or audible that prompts a user to take a certain action.

Abstract: A method for determining mattress rotation sequence and time by tracking the position of indicia on the top and bottom sides of a mattress with the aid of a graphically imprinted device. A block or board is imprinted with icons representing four possible mattress positions and the twelve calender months of the year. One pair of icons represents the top and bottom sides of the mattress, another pair of icons represents the head and the foot ends of the mattress. Each month and mattress position has a corresponding hole for receiving a peg. A first label is affixed to the foot-end of the top side of the mattress and a second label of a different color or configuration is affixed to the foot-end of the bottom side of the mattress. The consumer places the peg in the icon hole corresponding to the position of the labels on the mattress, and places a peg in the hole corresponding to the month of the year. The mattress is turned from side to side or end to end, according to the sequence of icons.
