Abstract
A system is disclosed for facilitating rotation of a mattress in a horizontal plane carried by a box spring or a platform. Surfaces between the mattress and the box spring or platform are selectively placed in engagement with each other. The surfaces may be provided by two separate covers; a single cover and the inherent surface roughness of the box spring or fixed or adjustable platform; a single cover with an embedded surface or no covers with embedded surfaces in both the mattress and the box spring or platform. In the latter embodiment, the mattress and the box spring or platform are secured together in a normal mode of operation to prevent unintended movement of the mattress.

1-31. (canceled)
A cover that can be used to facilitate the rotation of a mattress supported by a box spring or platform, the cover comprising:
- a piece of material having a slick surface on one side and a non-slick surface on an opposing side configured to be disposed between an underside of said mattress and a top side of said box spring or platform so that the non-slick side of the piece of material is in contact with the top side of said box spring or platform and the slick side of the piece of material is in contact with the mattress;
- an attachment device for securing the piece of material relative to the mattress or alternatively to a box spring or platform, wherein in a normal mode of operation, the attachment device secures the piece of material relative to said underside of said mattress to prevent rotation of said cover and in a rotate mode of operation, the attachment device secures the piece of material to said box spring or platform to enable the cover to rotate with the mattress.
50-67. (canceled)
A cover that can be used to facilitate the rotation of a mattress supported by a box spring or platform, said box spring or platform covered by a bed skirt, the cover comprising:
- a piece of material having a slick surface on one side and a non-slick surface on an opposing side configured to be disposed between an underside of said mattress and a top side of a bed skirt covering said box spring or platform so that the slick side of the piece of material is in contact with an underside of the mattress;
- an attachment device for securing the piece of material relative to the mattress or alternatively to the bed skirt and the box spring or platform, wherein in a normal mode of operation, the attachment device secures the piece of material relative to the underside of the mattress to prevent unintended rotation of said mattress and in a rotate mode of operation, the attachment device secures the piece of material and the bed skirt to the top side of the box spring or platform to enable the mattress to rotate without disturbing the bed skirt.

A device for facilitating horizontal rotation of a mattress with respect to a box spring or platform comprising:
- a first cover having a slick surface on one side and a non-slick surface on an opposing side, said first cover configured to be attached to an underside of a mattress so that its non-slick surface is in contact with the underside of the mattress in a rotate mode of operation;
- and
- a second cover having a slick surface on one side and a non-slick surface on an opposing side, said second cover configured to be attached to a top side of said box spring or platform in a rotate mode of operation such that its slick surface is in contact with said slick surface of said first cover,
- wherein in a normal mode of operation, said second cover is folded up over said first cover and said mattress so that said non-slick surface of said second cover is in contact with a top side of said box spring or platform.
