1. A mattress management system for facilitating various tasks associated with maneuvering a mattress with respect to a foundation, the system comprising:
an inflatable volume having an active mode in which the inflatable volume is inflated to lift at least a portion of the mattress with respect to the foundation, wherein the inflatable volume is formed from two or more sheets of material attached together;
one or more attachment points attaching together said two or more sheets of material within a perimeter of the inflatable volume;
a first cover integrally formed with said inflatable volume, said first cover configured to be selectively secured to said mattress or alternatively to said foundation;
an air intake nozzle in fluid communication with the inflatable volume and configured to be in fluid communication with a source of pressurized air; and
an adjustable air exit valve in fluid communication with the inflatable volume for selectively controlling the release of air from said inflatable volume when the inflatable volume is in the active mode.
