A patient support is provided. The patient support includes a frame, a mattress supported by the frame, and a set of siderails configured to block egress of a patient from the patient support. The siderails through use of adapters are configured to reduce gaps defined between the siderails and the other components of the patient support. The adapters may also be used to couple other medical accessories to the patient support.
