My mom got a new mattress not long ago...one with one of the pillow toppers. I don't know what brand or any of that, but I do know that the pillow topper type of mattress sets a bit higher and makes it much easier for her to get out of bed in the morning. She doesn't have to lift herself out of bed (bad back, bad knees, bad hip) but rather can roll over and slide her feet down to the floor and she is on her way to standing without so much pain. :)
