We just replaced the original, 9 year old, queen innerspring corner bed mattress. Our new one is 10" high and a full 60 X 80". I found the mattress, a Signature Sleep on Amazon for $229 and it is a combination of innerspring and sleep comfort material on both sides making it a candidate for flipping as needed over time. It came vacuum sealed which simplified moving up into the coach and in place on the bed platform. Once the plastic was cut away it expanded to its full 10" height in about 24 hours
Getting out of bed for a late night bathroom run has never been a problem. We keep a small folding stool at the foot of the bed which makes stepping up into or down out of the bed much easier. I sleep on the left {curb side with the head of our bed at the rear of the coach} and all that is involved is to move the blanket{s} off of me followed by a simple sit up. I scooch my butt forward about a foot and step down onto the stool. Returning is just a step up and crawl back under the covers. IMHO: The difficulty of making a nocturnal bathroom run is greatly exaggerated.
Making the bed is PITA vs a walk around but once it is made you are done as flipping the bedding back in place when you get up could not be simpler. A walk around queen in any coach under 30' will cost you far more in terms of lost space/storage than you will ever gain.
My bride and I are 70 and 69, reasonably fit and thoroughly enjoy a good nights sleep {my occasional snoring not withstanding}.
