Abstract
A apparatus for use in assisting a person in getting into or out of bed, adjusting position on a bed, or performing exercises on a bed. The apparatus comprises a sheet having one or more grasp able fabric handles situated in convenient positions which can be grasped by a person needing assistance in adjusting position, exercising, or entering or exiting a bed. The apparatus is secured firmly to a mattress be means of straps affixed on its bottom surface, so that stress caused by the use of the handles will not dislodge it from the bed.
