product.

TURNTABLE™ indicator at the foot end of the mattress. If the
correct month is not showing, rotate or turn the mattress so
that the correct month is at the foot end. Months are indicated
as follows:
1/12 = January 2/12 = February etc.
4. Use the TURNTABLE indicator as a guide for the monthly
rotation and turning of the mattress. This helps to even out
