English term or phrase: no-turn / non-turn mattress
"It is possible to make a 'non-turn' mattress, but this limits the materials and techniques that can be used"

The context is a company that makes mattress and beds. I understand that this kind of mattress doesn't need to be turned, regularly.
But I can't find the right way to say it in french. Maybe "matelas à face/côté unique", but it sounds clumsy.

Any suggestions?

"Non-Turn Mattresses - What Are the Real Benefits?
By Michael Panagakis
The idea of turning your mattress every few months can be a daunting task for some if not most. So when a customer sees a non-turn mattress available the immediate reaction would be a relief that it will only need turning end to end rather than the whole way over. Bed and mattress retailers are keen to advertise a cheaper more customer friendly product although what really is the other side of the story."

"Les matelas non retournables sont apparus depuis quelques années seulement. Si la matière de rembourrage à la surface n’est pas de très haute qualité c’est comme si vous achetiez la moitié d’un matelas. les matelas doivent être rembourrés avec une mousse polyuréthane d'un minimum de 2.0 livres au pied cube pour permettre que le matelas puisse vous supporter pour une période d'environ 10 ans,toujours selon le poids du consommateur."
