Help support out of bed (3-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leg-up

'help' is the definition.
(to give a leg-up is to give help)

'support out of bed' is the wordplay.
'support' becomes 'leg' (leg is a kind of support).
'out of bed' becomes 'up' (synonyms).
'leg'+'up'='LEG-UP'

(Another definition for leg-up that I've seen is " A boost to improve one's position".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
