Inflatable bed mattress lifts

An embodiment provides an inflatable bed mattress lift. In an embodiment, six extensions extend from a central portion and may be inflated to provide predetermined tuck points for securing bedding material to the bed mattress. The inflatable bed mattress lift and extensions thereof may be of a size to match a predetermined mattress size. The inflatable bed mattress lift may include more than six extensions, e.g., eight extensions. The extensions may be shaped or angled at terminal ends to match a rectangular dimension of an overlying bed mattress. Other aspects are described and claimed.

BACKGROUND(1) Lifting or elevating a mattress can be challenging. The challenge is magnified in certain settings such as in a hotel, a resort, on a cruise ship, etc., as housekeeping employees may need to turn around many rooms in short order, including changing sheets on many beds (for example, over 35 per day). Moreover, the lifts per room are many, as in a typical process housekeeping employees repeatedly lift the bed mattress to tuck the sheets between the mattress and box spring, e.g., three sides for each bed, each working day. With little time to spare, housekeeping employees want to perform such lifts, in addition to other duties, quickly and efficiently.BRIEF SUMMARY(2) In summary, one aspect includes an inflatable bed mattress lift, comprising: an inflatable component; and a connection element for fluid entry and exit from the inflatable component; the inflatable component comprising: a central area; and six extensions extending from the central area; wherein at least one of the six extensions includes the connection element; wherein the six extensions extend from the central area in pairs; and wherein each pair extends from opposite sides of the central area along a unique axis.(3) The foregoing is a summary and thus may contain simplifications, generalizations, and omissions of detail; consequently, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the summary is illustrative only and is not intended to be in any way limiting.(4) For a better understanding of the embo
