A patient support device is disclosed having a flexible support means, the support means having a pair of ends each of which includes a pair of hand holds. The hand holds are formed by cut outs in each corner of the support means, each of the cutouts forming a flap that engages the palm of the user's hand when lifting a patient. Each of the cut outs is aligned with a respective cutout so that, during use, the hand holds may be nested together to form an integral handle with overlapping flaps. The support means is formed of reinforced sheet material having sufficient rigidity to enable the integral handle to resist collapse and is dimensioned to position the hand holds above a floor surface in order to minimize discomfort experienced by a user when lifting a patient.
