Ron, I hope your Mom is better soon.

Old folks, do you find a firmer or softer mattress helps you get out of bed without feeling like you left the crypt? The aches are becoming too much, and I'm not sure how to address it.

We invested in a queen sleep number bed 5 years ago. No adjustable base.
We both love that we each can customize our side…no more comprising on firmness. In general, we are pretty much in the middle range 40-50. I use the “adjustable air” option (adjusts to pressure points) but DH doesn’t like the movement so his side is fixed.
The cost was a splurge for us but well worth it!!

You can try a sleep numbers bed to find out what firmness works best.

It's looking like this is the way, especially if the firmness can be adjusted over time. My body will prefer one thing and then change its mind a couple months later.
