Summary:The present invention relates to a bed, and particularly to a bed having barriers. More particularly, the present invention relates to a hospital bed or a patient-care bed which includes siderails that move relative to each other. A bed is provided having a bedframe, a first pair of siderails, and a second pair of siderails. The bedframe includes an articulating deck having first and second sections that move relative to each other. The first pair of the siderails is coupled to the second section of the deck to move therewith. At least one pair of the siderails is configured to move relative to the other pair of siderails to compensate for movement of the first pair of siderails with the second section of the deck.
