veggiegirl asked:


My grandma is always buying new mattresses because she wakes up hurting. We all think it’s just her osteoporosis. So, is there a mattress out there that can relieve the pressure and ease pain while still providing the necessary support. please provide all the details possible. thanks!
I’m hoping for answers from those who have family members with experience.
