Abstract: A blanket lifting apparatus for raising bedding above the feet of a person lying on a bed includes a threaded rod rotatably coupled to a bottom wall of a framework, the rod extending upwardly to an opposed distal end. A primary lift panel is operatively coupled to the rod and moved vertically when the rod is actuated to rotate. Spring clips are mounted to a top wall of the primary lift panel for selectively retaining the bedding such that the bedding is moved vertically according to movement of the primary lift panel. An auxiliary lift panel is pivotally coupled to the top wall, the auxiliary lift panel being movable between a stowed configuration generally parallel to the primary lift panel and a deployed configuration extending away from the primary lift panel in the direction of the bed.
