Abstract: A bed has a bed frame and a tilting mattress deck for easy worker access. The deck comprises a mattress board for supporting the mattress and a frame to partially enclosure a bottom portion of said mattress so that the mattress is symmetrically retained on the mattress board when tilted. The bed frame comprises a vertical front panel, a vertical rear panel and least three bulkheads equally spaced between the vertical front panel and the vertical rear panel. The bulkheads form storage compartments within the bed frame. The storage compartments can be top loaded when the tilting mattress deck is tilted or they can be equipped with sliding drawers.
