A siderail 52 comprises a rail 70 having a lower edge 72 extending longitudinally from a head end 74 to a foot end 76, and a longitudinally outer link 80 comprising a head side outer link segment 82 and a foot side outer link segment 84. Each segment is connected to the rail at a joint OR and connected to a host frame 28 at a joint OF. The siderail also includes an inner link 110 longitudinally intermediate the outer link segments and connected to the rail at a joint IR and to the host frame at a joint IF. The head side outer link segment extends longitudinally from approximately the head end of the rail lower edge 72 toward the inner link without longitudinally overlapping the inner link. The foot side outer link segment extends longitudinally from approximately the foot end of the rail lower edge 72 toward the inner link without longitudinally overlapping the inner link.
