1. A gap filler assembly for filling a gap between adjacent sections of a bed adjacent a main mattress of the bed, the gap filler assembly comprising:
a first supplemental mattress connected and proximate to a first section of the bed adjacent a first longitudinal side of the main mattress, the first supplemental mattress having a patient support surface generally planar with a patient support surface of the main mattress so as to increase an overall width of the patient support surface of the bed beyond a width defined by the main mattress; second supplemental mattress connected and proximate to a second section of the bed adjacent the first longitudinal side of the main mattress, the second supplemental mattress having a patient support surface generally planar with the patient support surface of the main mattress so as to increase the overall width of the patient support surface of the bed beyond the width defined by the main mattress; the first and second supplemental mattresses being proximate each other with a gap formed therebetween, each of the first and second supplemental mattresses having an angled extension at one end thereof that extends into the gap, the angled extensions being in direct contact so as to form an interference fit with one another.
