A rise assist apparatus comprising a handrail in the form of a convoluted section attached to a vertical pole, and stabilized by a bed frame attachment member and a floor contacting base frame. Alternatively, the rise assist apparatus may be wall mounted, being stabilized by a system of mounted wall brackets. The rise assist apparatus further includes an upper curved, horizontal leveraging handle, which extends from the pole-like support structure. Specifically, the rise assist apparatus allows the user to build momentum by pushing off the upper hand grip, and allows the user to control the momentum by regaining balance, and readjusting posture, by gripping the lower handrail member. Additionally, the user can use the curved grip with one hand, while simultaneously reaching for the handrail during the rising movement thereby allowing the user to support himself or herself as they rise out of bed.

A peak as claimed in claim 9 wherein the cut extends in a direction away from the nearer end of the band. 11. A peak as claimed in claim 9 wherein the cut terminates in a short cut at an angle thereto. 12. A peak as claimed in claim 9, wherein each connector comprises a connector shank having enlarged end pieces extending transversely to the shank. 13. A peak as claimed in claim 9 wherein the peak portion is die cut from sheet foam material. 14. A peak as claimed in claim 9, wherein the retaining band is die cut from sheet foam material. 15. A peak as claimed in claim 9, wherein the ends of the retaining band respectively overlap the ends of the peak part. 16. A peak comprising: a part die cut from foam sheet material and being of generally segment shape having an arcuate concave inner edge and an arcuate convex outer edge, two pointed ends at which the said edges meet, a circular opening at each end, and an extension cut extending radially of each opening in a direction away from the adjacent pointed end; a separate elongated retaining band cut from foam sheet material having two ends, a plurality of circular apertures at each end, and an extension cut extending radially of each aperture in a direction away from the adjacent end; and separate connectors, each passing through an opening and an aligned aperture to hold the retaining band to the peak, each said connector having a connector shank, and enlarged substantially flat end pieces extending transversely to the shank. 17. A peak as claimed in claim 16 wherein the cut through each opening terminates in a short cut at an angle thereto.
