Update (8/28/11):
The box spring is nine inches tall and mattress 13 inches tall. From steel frame support on floor to top of mattress totals 28 inches. I should add that there is probably nothing wrong with a pillow top if it were cotton or poly cotton fill, but this one contains polyurethane foam which from its characteristic in this bed, acts like Memory Foam. This stuff does act like a heat sink and holds the heat.

When getting a foam mattress i would suggest to start with a firmer one than what you think you will need. The adjustable base is great and a good investment.

10/17/12 update: I'm so sorry it's taken me this long to post an update. Yes, my mattress was found to be defective & the one split king box spring on my husband's side was also defective (purchased at the same time as the mattress). Boscov's was great to deal with... my husband and I are getting a replacement tomorrow (10/18/12)! We'll finally be sleeping in the same bed again.
Although the mattress was found to be defective, I do think the Prodigy is way to soft for my body. I laid on it in the store again and it felt very similar to my defective mattress. Since I was fearful that I would have still have back/ hip/ knee problems, Boscov's let us pick any mattress we wanted (had to pay the price difference of course). We chose to get two twin XL instead of a king mattress in case we ran into similar problems in the future. It would be much easier to change out one twin XL instead of a whole king mattress again. This also gave us the flexibility to purchase different firmnesses.
My husband chose the Serta iComfort Prodigy again because he really liked the plush feel of the Prodigy. I opted for a much firmer (more supportive) mattress, the Simmons Comfor-Pedic St. Simons. In the store, my hips/ butt sank into it about a 1/4 of the depth as the Prodigy. The St. Simons feels much more supportive than the Prodigy and I think that's what my body needs to alleviate my lower back/ hip pain. I did try the less plush iComfort mattresses (and really do love the way they feel) but I felt I still sank too far into them. I'm only 5'1" and 120 lbs so a bigger percentage of my body was "in the mattress" than someone larger. For instance, the top of the mattress landed higher up my husband's leg and lower on my leg (closer to my knee) when both of us were sleeping on our sides (which is probably why I was feeling knee pain and he wasn't)... but I'm probably over thinking it, lol.
The St. Simons is considered a "luxury firm" so it isn't a plushy soft like the Prodigy, it is a different kind of soft. More like a "firm soft" (spongy kind of like latex feels). I figure it's much easier to soften a firm mattress than to firm up a soft mattress. There will be a 2" height difference between the mattresses but I really don't care as long as I get a good night's sleep. Also, if I have to add a topper in the future to make it a little softer, then that will make up for the 2" difference. I'll post an update/ review after sleeping on the St. Simons for a couple of weeks.
Thank you Serta for your response, it's great to know that the manufacturer does care. I think you may have a glitch in your review system though? On 9/24/12 I received an e-mail stating, "Your review has been moderated and is live on our site." My review was posted for about a day and then removed. On 10/3/12 I received an e-mail stating, "Before publishing, we need to verify you submitted the following review." I clicked the link in the e-mail and received a "success" response on 10/3/13. I also did it again today 10/17/12 because I checked your website and I still don't see my review (FWIW).

my wife and I have had this bed for 2 weeks now and it is not getting any better as the nights progress and they will tell you your body has to get used to the new mattress because you were used to the old one! this is not the case, the bed is still hard, has not changed in comfort level at all, toss and turn all night knowing we have to deal with it for a minimum of 30 days before the store or serta will even consider hearing from us at all as it says on the warranty info that they gave us, if I had to do it again i would not!! it is torture to have to wait and put up with a mattress that is crap!
