Whilst prior art solutions have been proposed to address the problem of lifting mattresses etc. whilst making the bed with the sheets these employ solid implements, which either interfere with the bed making process and must be removed post-use, or involve expensive machinery to inflate and lift the upper bedding component. Beneficially, the invention provides for a means of gaining a mechanical advantage in making the lift in a device that could in different instances be left in-situ, form part of the lower or upper bedding component, and support disguise through enclosure in fabrics matching bedding with low cost and ease of use. It would be further beneficial for the opening mechanism to be reliable enough that it reliably deploys fully when used by even the frailest of individuals.
