The present invention relates to a hospital bed comprising an elongated housing. The housing may have an exterior face extending in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction. The transverse direction is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The housing may further comprise a skirt. The skirt may extend perpendicularly to the exterior face and may thereby form an interior and an exterior. The housing may further comprise at least two housing connections. The housing connections may be in the interior and may be arranged coaxially along a longitudinal axis. The longitudinal axis may be substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction. The housing connection may be adapted for communication with respective complementary pillar connection. The pillar connection may be arranged on a pillar.
