Mr. S is based in Camden and has some mobility issues and severe back pain. His consultant has advised him to have his mattress turned over as soon as possible. As Mr. S is unable to do this himself, GoodGym were asked to help. Consequently, Nick and I met up in Camden at lunchtime today to help flip a mattress for Mr. S.

Today's task was a pretty short Flip/tuck operation. Before starting (& after saying hello to Mr. S), we clarified with Mr. S exactly how he wanted his mattress flipped. In short, he wanted a straightforward roll of the mattress about it's longitudinal axis (no yaw or pitch rotations today!).

The fast flip was following by a slightly longer tucking, with a mattress protector and sheet being fitted around the mattress. Despite being slightly hampered by my natural inability to accurately match the length of a sheet to the length of the mattress based on sight alone, Nick and I completely finished today's mission within 10 mins of our start time.

With the glow of success buoying us up, we indulged in a short chat with Mr S before we left.

It was good seeing you, Nick! :)
