Bedding arrangements

Bedding arrangement having a base for disposing on the surface of a bed and an adjustable back support with a frame pivotably mounted at the surface of the base enabling adjustment of the back support into various angular positions relative to the surface of the base. A board for supporting the back of a bed-ridden patient is pivotably mounted on the frame adjacent a head-resting portion of the latter. The board is upwardly pivotable in a direction opposite an upward pivotable movement of the frame whereby the patient assumes a recumbent position raised above the surface of the bed permitting unhindered introduction of a bed pot under the patient.
