A transfer aid assists a disabled person in moving from a first seating structure such as a bed to a second seating structure such as a wheelchair. The transfer aid includes a main arm having a straight portion for alignment with an edge of the bed and a curved portion extending towards the wheelchair for supporting the person's upper torso. 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 layer of foam and a suede cover for cushioning against the person's upper torso. The transfer aid is used in combination with a transfer board extending from the edge of the bed to a front end of the wheelchair for supporting the lower torso of the person.
