1. A bed comprising:
- a frame,a deck supported by the frame, the deck including movable sections configurable for the deck to assume at least a horizontal position and a chair-like position, the movable sections including at least a head section and a foot section spaced from the head section, the foot section having an adjustable length,a contracting member coupled to the foot section and being movable between an extended position and a retracted position, wherein the length of the foot section is shorter when the contracting member is in the retracted position and the length of the foot section is longer when the contracting member is in the extended position, anda pivoting member coupled to the foot section and pivotable relative to the frame, wherein the contracting member is arranged to extend away from the pivoting member in a longitudinal direction relative to the pivoting member, and is independently movable relative to the pivoting member to adjust the length of the foot section as the contracting member moves between the extended and retracted positions.
