A hospital bed includes a base and a deck having a head end and a foot end. A first scissors lift linkage is coupled between the base and the deck adjacent the head end of the deck. The first scissors lift linkage is movable from an extended position to a retracted position to raise and lower, respectively, the head end of the deck relative to the base. A second scissors lift linkage is coupled between the base and the deck adjacent the foot end of the deck. The second scissors lift linkage is movable from an extended position to a retracted position to raise and lower, respectively, the foot end of the deck relative to the base. A controller is provided for selectively and independently moving the first and second scissors lift linkages between the extended positions and the retracted positions.
