A table (100) including a frame (16) and an articulated deck (6) having a head section (8), a seat section (10), and a foot section (12). At least one of the sections (8, 10, 12) is coupled to the frame (16) for movement between a generally horizontal position and a tilted position about a first effective axis above a patient support surface (22) of a mattress of the deck (6). Pivoting and translation of the deck (6) extends and contracts the deck sections (8, 10, 12) relative to each other to generally match the expansion and contraction of the skin of a patient on the patient support surface (22) as the deck sections (8, 10, 12) move between their horizontal and tilted positions.
