A patient bed has a pedal that is engaged by a user's foot to control a feature of the patient bed. The patient bed also has a user input such as a control panel or graphical user interface (GUI). The user input deploys from a storage position to a use position in response to engagement of the pedal by the user. For example, the user input deploys automatically out of a cavity in a siderail of the patient bed to a use position in response to a brake pedal of the patient bed being moved to a brake position to brake casters of the patient bed.
