If you do not rotate your mattress it might start to sag in the middle and you will not have the support you want or need which will start to cause your back to ache along with other parts of your body. This is why it is good to rotate your mattress one to two times a month. If you have a pillow top mattress you will not rate your mattress the same way that people with a non pillow top mattress do. But you will want to make sure that you at least rotate the mattress so that the top is at the bottom so that you are not having the same weight on it at all times.
