A mattress rotating system for lifting and rotating a mattress includes a box spring that has a top side, a bottom side and a perimeter wall that is attached to and extends between the top side and the bottom side. The perimeter wall includes a front side, a back side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side. The box spring has an opening that extends through the top side. A lifting unit is mounted in the box spring and is extendable upwardly from the box spring. The lifting unit is rotatable relative to the box spring. A mattress is positioned on the lifting unit and the lifting unit is actuated to lift the mattress upwardly from the box spring such that the mattress is rotatable with respect to the box spring.
