Abstract: An apparatus for lifting a mattress to an optimal work level so as to facilitate the bed making process. More specifically an apparatus for lifting a mattress, the apparatus including a generally rectangular ring shaped inflatable member with a generally constant cross section configured to be disposed between a mattress and a supporting structure of a bed in an unsecured manner; an air pump in fluid communication with the inflatable member, the air pump configured to inflate the inflatable member to a substantially uniform pressure throughout an entire perimeter of the inflatable member; a power supply in electrical communication with the air pump for providing power to operate the air pump; a switch in electrical communication between the power supply and the air pump configured for activating and deactivating the air pump; and a valve configured to control both inflation and deflation of the inflatable member.
