The main arm is generally horizontal. A supporting arm extends from the main arm away from the bed to a pedestal whereon the supporting arm is mounted. The supporting arm is adjustable in length for varying the offset of the main arm in relation to the pedestal. The main arm is covered with a lay er of foam and a suede cover for cushioning against the person's upper torso.
