A good orthopaedic bed is a genuine contribution to joint health in a senior dog — not a replacement for supplementation, but it makes a real difference to how stiff a dog is when they rise. Is she currently on a joint supplement, or is the bed question your starting point?
No supplement yet. She's been stiff in the mornings for a few months. She currently sleeps on a thin foam mat that I think is past its useful life.

Do both — they're complementary and each does something the other can't. For the bed: memory foam orthopaedic, at least 4 inches deep, with sides she can rest her head and limbs on. The memory foam distributes her weight evenly rather than creating pressure points on hips and elbows during long rests. For the supplement: start her on YuMOVE Senior today. The bed addresses the mechanical pressure during rest; the supplement addresses the inflammation and cartilage. The combination typically produces faster visible improvement than either alone.
