The sleep number bed is the best. You can adjust the hard to soft settings that adjust to your body.
Now why not deal with the osteoporosis issue from a nutrition angle. If your grandmother is eating low fat, high carb type diets and does not eat much meat, she needs to change. If she takes ANY ANTACIDS, this is causing huge problems with her calcium absorption.
The blood calcium level must be maintained at all costs between about 7.35 and 7.4 pH. If your body goes out of this range, you die. So there is a constant exchange of calcium between, first your muscles, and then your bones to give up and take on calcium to maintain that blood calcium level.
In order for you to digest calcium, magnesium, and zinc, you need an acid stomach to do so. As the chime from the stomach enters the jejunum (upper part of the small intestines), it must be acidic for those minerals to be absorbed through the intestinal walls. If it is not acidic, it won't get absorbed and you will become deficient. Now when your blood calcium screams for more calcium, yep, you got it, it takes it from the muscles (you get cramps easily) and then from your bones (you get osteoporosis).
Doctors will give you calcium supplements, but all this does is pass down the intestines and end up as toxins and is stored in the eyes as cataracts, bone spurs, etc.
You need to get your grandma digesting properly and then on a high quality calcium, not the typical calcium carbonate garbage (this is blackboard chalk and cheap to make). The typical calcium given to patients also just addresses the bone mass and not the quality of the bones.
I suggest you try the following and watch what happens. I think you will be very surprised at how well this works.
Go to: www.healthline.cc (not .com) and order the following:
Betaine HCL --- Take 2 to 4 of after each meal.
Activator --- Take 1 to 2 of these after each meal.
Quantum Digest --- Take 2 of these DURING the meal.
Probiotic -- take 1 in the a.m. and 1 in the p.m.
Coral Complex -- Take 4 of these in the a.m. and 4 in the p.m.
She also needs to address any vitamin B-12 deficiencies due to not eating meat, if that is the case. If she is eating lots of vegetable oils, this will contribute to the osteoporosis problem because it contributes to inflammation of the body. Vegetable oils are terrible for you because they convert to TRANS FATS when heated even slightly due to the polymerization of the fatty acid chains. They are also very high in omega 6 inflammatory fatty acids and very unstable due to the double bonds that convert the omega 3 "cis" configuration into the omega 6 "trans" configuration.
Make sure she gets her diet regulated toward: 40% carbs (nutrient dense), 30% fats, and 30% proteins.
The fats should be in the following ratio: 60% monounsaturated (from Olive oil), 30% Saturated fats (from Real RAW BUTTER made from raw cream, coconut oil, and beef from GRASS FED COWS, not the commercial garbage sold in Mausoleums where dead food is found), and 10% Polyunsaturated fats (omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids in a balance of 1:1 ratio).
The above will truly help her body to digest better and also absorb the calcium. The Coral complex has all the cofactors necessary to make the absorption even better. It also contains the 2:1 calcium to magnesium ratio to nourish the body. She will immediately find that she has to cut her nails very frequently as well.
good luck
