The body support is configured to support at least a portion of a person. The first support loop is coupled to the body support and extends there from a first distance. The second support loop is coupled to the body support and is overlappingly coupled along a portion of the first support loop. The second support loop extends a second distance from the body support. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A person support device comprising: a body support configured to support a person; a binding coupled along a perimeter edge of the body support and extending from the perimeter edge of the body support to define at least one first support loop extending a first distance from the body support; a second support loop coupled to the first support loop and to the body support, wherein a first portion of a length of the second support loop is overlappingly coupled along a portion of the binding and the perimeter edge of the body support, and a second portion of a length of the second support loop is overlappingly coupled along a portion of a length of the first support loop extending beyond the body portion, the second support loop extending a second distance from the body support. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The person support device of claim 1, wherein the binding is C-shaped and includes an upper surface and a lower surface. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The person support device of claim 2, wherein a portion of at least one of the second support loop and the perimeter edge of the body support are positioned between the upper surface and the lower surface. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The person support device of claim 1, wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The person support device of claim 1, wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The person support device of claim 1, wherein the second support loop is coupled to the body support such that the first support loop is positioned between the second support loop and the body support. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The person support device of claim 1, wherein the portion of the first loop that the second loop is overlappingly coupled to is connected to the body support. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The person support device of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the body support includes padding. ### Claim 9 A person support device, comprising: a body support including an upper body support portion configured to support at least a portion of an occupant's upper body and a lower body support portion configured to support at least a portion of an occupant's lower body; a binding coupled along a perimeter edge of the body support and extending from at least one of the upper body support portion and the lower body support portion to define at least one first support loop, the first support loop including an upper layer and a lower layer; and a second support loop coupled to the body support and to the at least one first support loop such that a portion of the second support loop is positioned between the upper layer and the lower layer of the first support loop and a portion of the length of the second support loop extends along and is coupled along a portion of the length of the first support loop extending beyond the body support. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The person support device of claim 9, wherein the binding is C-shaped. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The person support device of claim 9, wherein the second support loop is also coupled to the one of the upper body support portion and the lower body support portion. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The person support device of claim 9, wherein the first support loop extends a first distance from the body portion and the second support loop extends a second distance from the body support, the first distance being greater than the second distance. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The person support device of claim 9, wherein the second support loop is coupled to the first support loop along a substantial portion of the length of the first support loop. ### Claim 14 A person support device, comprising: a body support including an upper body support portion configured to support at least a portion of an occupant's upper body and a plurality of leg support portions extending from the upper body support portion and configured to support an occupant's legs; a first support loop coupled to the body support and configured to couple with a person lifting device; and a second support loop coupled to the body support at a first coupling point and coupled to the first support loop at a second coupling point spaced away from the body support, the second support loop being configured to couple with a person lifting device, a portion of the length of the second support loop being overlappingly coupled along a portion of a length of the first support loop. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The person support device of claim 14, wherein the first support loop is defined by a portion of a binding coupled to a perimeter edge of the body support. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The person support device of claim 14, wherein a portion of the length of the second support loop is overlappingly coupled along a portion of a length of the body support. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The person support device of claim 14, wherein the first support loop extends a first distance from the body portion and the second support loop extends a second distance from the body support, the first distance being greater than the second distance. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The person support device of claim 14, wherein the first support loop includes an upper layer and a lower layer, the second loop is coupled to the first support loop such that a portion of the second support loop is positioned between the upper layer and the lower layer of the first support loop and a portion of the length of the second support loop extends along a portion of the length of the first support loop.
