A bed comprises an exterior frame and an interior frame. The exterior frame comprises opposite first and second end boards (12, 14) positioned at the head and the foot, respectively, of the bed, two elongate side members (72, 74, 82, 84) interconnecting the opposite first and second end boards. At least one of the elongated side members is constituted by a hollow structural element. The interior frame is supported by the exterior frame and includes a first and a second section. The first section is journalled pivotally relative to the exterior frame. The bed further comprises an actuator for pivoting the first section relative to the exterior frame and comprises a power generating motor supported by the hollow structural element and a power transmitting element enclosed within the hollow structural element and transmitting the power generated by the power generating motor to the first section for causing the first section to pivot relative to the exterior frame. The bed constitutes a bed which is aesthetically acceptable not only in hospitals but also in private homes and which is further easily assembled or alternatively disassembled, still fulfilling the basic functional requirements as to ergonomic requirements of the user, i.e. the patient or person resting or lying in the bed, the staff nursing the patient or person, and the cleaning staff.
