ABSTRACT:
A body supporting structure is disposed upon the upper surface of a flat rectangularly shaped member which is adapted to be upon the top of a rectangularly shaped mattress in a hospital bed. The structure includes at least one hollow element rising above the upper surface and filled with air or water. A device secured to the lower surface of the member in a region intermediate the ends of the member but closer to one selected end of the member than to the other end includes a pocket which removably receives and encloses an end of the mattress adjacent the selected end of the member. The pocket holds the member in position and prevents the member from sliding downward toward the other end of the mattress when the adjacent mattress end is raised.
