A body transfer mat includes a generally rectangular sheet having a center support section and right and left wing portions extending from the center section. Each wing portion is foldable upon itself with fasteners to maintain the wings in the folded position, so that the wing portions will not drag on the floor when the sheet is supported on a conventional gurney. Handles are located on the underside of the sheet on each side of the central support section, and are used to pull a patient located on the sheet from a gurney to a separate table or bed. The wing portions include cooperable fasteners so as to enable the wing portions to be secured over the top of a patient during transfer of the patient on the sheet. Preferably, reinforcing straps are mounted on the upper surface of the central support section, through which the handles are fastened. In a second embodiment of the invention, a pair of wing portions are provided on each side of the central support section, to permit the transfer of large patients.
