A bed comprises a frame and a siderail assembly. The siderail assembly includes a noncollapsible siderail panel having an upper edge and a lower edge, a guide rail affixed to the panel and having an extension which extends past the lower edge of the panel, and a link rotatably mounted on the frame. The link is configured to receive the extension so that the link grips the extension but also permits translation of the guide rail relative to the link.
