Which End of a Mattress is the Head: Decoding Mattress Orientation

The question of which end of a mattress is the head can often lead to confusion, especially when setting up a new bed. Understanding the correct orientation of your mattress is crucial for ensuring optimal comfort and longevity. This article explores how to determine the head of a mattress and the significance of mattress tags in this context.

Which Side of the Mattress is the Head?

High-quality Puffy mattresses often feature a universal design, allowing them to be rotated and used without a specific head or foot orientation.

Mattress Tag: Head or Foot?

Understanding Mattress Orientation and Design

  1. Symmetrical Mattresses: For these, either end can serve as the head or foot, offering flexibility in setup.
  2. Asymmetrical Mattresses: These have designated head and foot areas, often for orthopedic or therapeutic purposes.
  3. Checking Manufacturer Guidelines: Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for clear guidance on mattress orientation.
