ABSTRACT:
A portable device for raising one end of a bed a selected height, to incline the mattress longitudinally without consequent displacement, to provide comfort for a sleeper suffering from ailments such as a hiatal hernia, cardiac failure, varicose veins or phlebitis. The device includes bed elevating blocks adapted to be inserted under one end of the bed and longitudinally extending mattress retainers adapted to be inserted between the mattress and the mattress support, such as a box spring, to secure the mattress against longitudinal movement when the bed is inclined. The bed elevating blocks may be constituted of two separate, connectable components which are adjustable relative to each other to provide selectivity in the elevation of one end of the bed. The mattress retainers are constituted of two separate, longitudinally aligned, detachably connectable, L-shaped elements, each of the elements having a short perpendicular leg, the two legs extending in opposite directions. The oppositely disposed short legs function as grips for engaging, respectively, the mattress and the mattress support, thereby preventing the mattress from moving relative to its support.
