Why Healthcare Professionals Choose SonderCare

Home-First Design

SonderCare beds are purpose-built for residential environments, featuring elegant espresso woodgrain that preserves dignity and comfort. Every design element addresses the unique needs of home care patients who deserve both advanced functionality and beautiful aesthetics.

Fall Prevention First

Ultra-low positioning brings patients safely closer to the ground, dramatically reducing fall risk and injury potential. This game-changing safety feature enables more independent transfers while providing families with invaluable peace of mind during recovery.

Therapeutic Excellence

Advanced positioning capabilities deliver superior therapeutic benefits—from enhanced circulation to improved respiratory function. Multiple therapeutic positions including Trendelenburg and Zero Gravity address specific medical needs while maintaining patient comfort.

Service Excellence

Experience the confidence of new equipment backed by manufacturer warranty, guaranteed delivery windows, and professional white glove installation. SonderCare’s comprehensive support ensures your transition from hospital to home is seamless and stress-free.

The SonderCare Advantage

The SonderCare Aura™ Premium 39″ Hospital Bed represents a fundamental shift in how we approach home healthcare equipment. While the Invacare CS600 provides basic hospital bed functionality with adjustable width and higher weight capacity, the Aura™ Premium delivers a comprehensive therapeutic ecosystem designed specifically for the residential care environment. The difference begins with advanced positioning capabilities that transform patient outcomes—Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg positioning support cardiovascular health and respiratory therapy, while the Zero Gravity position addresses swelling and chronic back pain through optimal weight distribution. The Comfort Chair function with 90-degree backrest elevation creates a natural seated position for meals, reading, and social interaction, maintaining quality of life during recovery.

Continue reading about SonderCare’s advantages…

Beyond positioning, the Aura™ Premium’s four ultra-quiet DC motors provide smoother, quieter operation compared to traditional AC motor systems, creating a more peaceful healing environment. The 71-degree backrest angle exceeds the CS600’s 60-degree maximum, enabling more comfortable upright positioning for patients with respiratory conditions or those who need to remain elevated. The fully height-adjustable assist rails provide customizable support throughout recovery, adapting to changing mobility needs rather than remaining static.

The residential aesthetic of the espresso luxury woodgrain finish addresses a critical but often overlooked aspect of home recovery—psychological well-being. Patients recovering at home don’t want their bedroom to resemble a hospital room. The Aura™ Premium’s elegant design preserves the dignity and comfort of home while delivering full hospital-grade functionality. This matters profoundly for long-term care situations where the bed becomes a central part of daily life for months or years.

SonderCare’s commitment extends beyond the product to the entire ownership experience. Guaranteed delivery windows with expedited and rush options ensure patients receive equipment when they need it, while professional white glove installation across North America provides peace of mind that hospital-certified equipment is properly configured. This comprehensive approach to home healthcare—combining advanced therapeutic capabilities, residential design, and exceptional service—positions the Aura™ Premium as the superior choice for patients and families who refuse to compromise on quality, safety, or dignity during the recovery journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the SonderCare Aura™ Premium 39″ Hospital Bed better than the Invacare CS600?

The Aura™ Premium offers advanced therapeutic positioning features including Trendelenburg tilt, Zero Gravity positioning, and Comfort Chair function with 90-degree backrest elevation—capabilities not available on the CS600. It features elegant espresso woodgrain finish designed specifically for home environments, four ultra-quiet DC motors for peaceful operation, and fully height-adjustable assist rails. The 71-degree backrest angle exceeds the CS600’s 60-degree maximum, providing superior positioning for respiratory comfort and daily activities. Additionally, SonderCare provides guaranteed delivery windows with rush options and professional installation across North America.

How much does the SonderCare Aura™ Premium 39″ Hospital Bed cost?

The Aura™ Premium 39″ is currently priced at $6,999. This includes two fully height-adjustable assist rails and represents exceptional value for a hospital-certified bed with advanced therapeutic positioning, residential aesthetics, and comprehensive safety features. While the initial investment is higher than the CS600’s $1,699–$2,999 range, the Aura™ Premium delivers significantly more advanced functionality, superior design, and guaranteed service that justify the premium for patients prioritizing comprehensive home care solutions.

What setup and installation options are available?

SonderCare provides professional white glove installation across North America, ensuring your hospital-certified bed is properly assembled, configured, and demonstrated by trained technicians. Standard delivery occurs within 10-21 business days, with expedited options available for 4-9 days and rush delivery in just 1-3 days for urgent situations. This comprehensive installation service ensures safety compliance and proper operation from day one, providing peace of mind that your medical equipment is correctly configured for optimal therapeutic benefit and safety.

What kind of support does SonderCare provide?

SonderCare offers comprehensive customer support through multiple channels including phone support at 833-656-6305 and email at info@sondercare.com.

The bed is backed by manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects and mechanical components, with detailed warranty terms available directly from SonderCare. This multi-layered support approach ensures you have expert assistance throughout the entire ownership experience.

How easy is it to switch from the Invacare CS600 to SonderCare?

Transitioning to the SonderCare Aura™ Premium is straightforward and fully supported. The bed’s 39″ standard twin width (44″ external dimensions) fits comfortably in most bedrooms where a CS600 would be placed, with similar space requirements. SonderCare’s professional white glove installation team handles all aspects of setup, including removal of packaging and demonstration of all features. The intuitive hand control operates similarly to other electric hospital beds, making the learning curve minimal. Most importantly, the advanced positioning features like Comfort Chair and Zero Gravity are pre-programmed for one-touch operation, allowing patients and caregivers to immediately benefit from therapeutic capabilities not available on the CS600.

Is the 500 lb weight capacity sufficient compared to the CS600’s 600 lb capacity?

The Aura™ Premium’s 500 lb weight capacity accommodates the vast majority of home care patients safely and effectively. This hospital-certified capacity is engineered with significant safety margins and supports the bed’s advanced positioning features including Trendelenburg tilt and Zero Gravity. For patients requiring higher weight capacity, SonderCare offers the Aura™ Premium 48″ model with enhanced specifications. The 500 lb capacity, combined with the bed’s comprehensive safety features including ultra-low height positioning and height-adjustable assist rails, provides robust support for standard home care applications while enabling the advanced therapeutic positioning that sets the Aura™ Premium apart.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I purchased a Sondercare bed back in 2021, I called last month to order a replacement mattress. I called twice left messages both times, once with an actual live person. I never received a return callback so I left a bad review today. I guess someone watches their reviews of google, they just called & gave me a deal on a new mattress and said they would follow up on what happened with their poor response. I don’t expect perfection, just “best efforts” so I’m satisfied and revising my review.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I lucked into SonderCare completey at random with an internet search after giving up on insurance coming through. Their salesperson, Hailey, was extremely thorough in her explanation of the bed models and features, and very helpful in helping me make my selection. They also arranged for Rocky Mountain Movers to deliver the bed with white glove service which they did beautifully. They actually built the bed next to his existing rickety bed and then we just moved him over. Absolutely seamless all the way around. I am a stickler for details, and SonderCare didn't miss a single detail. I couldn't be happier knowing that my husband is in a much better bed and far more comfortable than he has been in months. I would recommend this company to anyone!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What sets SonderCare apart is their service. They’re responsive, easy to work with, and genuinely committed to getting things right for both the user and the installer. That alignment between who they are as people and how they operate as a company is rare—and it’s why I continue to trust them. I wholeheartedly recommend SonderCare to anyone looking for reliable, well-designed products backed by a team that truly cares.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently purchased a SonderCare bed for my personal use. As a cancer patient and survivor, comfort and accessibility are incredibly important to me. The bed arrived within a couple of days, and the delivery team went above and beyond. They decided the front entrance would be easier than the back door, and without hesitation, they shoveled a path to make the delivery possible. The setup was quick, and I received a clear demonstration of all the controls. After a few nights of sleep, I can honestly say the bed has exceeded my expectations. The different settings have made a noticeable difference in how my whole body feels, and getting in and out of bed is now so much easier. There was a small issue with my credit card, but it was resolved within a couple of days thanks to the help of Victoria and Ben. Their support was excellent. I would recommend this bed to anyone experiencing pain or discomfort from a regular bed. Great product, great service, and wonderful people at SonderCare. Thank you, William — Bancroft, Ontario

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great company to deal with! And the sales rep 'Victoria,' was so much more—a knowledgeable, patient guide through the product options in order to match them to our particular needs! I came away with just what we were looking for without experiencing any push or pressure to purchase. Thank you, SonderCare and thank you, Victoria!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We needed a bed for my Father in Law quite quickly, on a Friday afternoon. We called SonderCare and immediately had our bed ordered, delivery same afternoon. Seyar made the delivery and we couldn't have been more pleased with his service. It was an extremely hot day but Seyar did the delivery and set up with speed, efficiency and very polite attention to detail. I would highly recommend SonderCare and most definitely...Seyar!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michele and the other staff at Sonder Care have been exceptional. I was given two weeks to convert my home into ADA compliant, and somehow I had to find a bed! I came across Sonder Care and was treated with courtesy beyond all expectations. Not only did Michele get me a bed within my time frame, but she upgraded the mattress when the one I ordered was not available, and she dealt with the misery of a credit card snafu that would have impacted delivery. I am proud to say that the product is well worth every penny spent, and the lovely neighbors to the North excel at customer service! Thank you one and all for your kindness and professionalism. It was a bright spot during a difficult time.

The bed is exceptional and 100X more comfortable than the one in the hospital. Huge thanks to the SonderCare team for looking after our most critical family members and patients! It’s greatly appreciated.

The entire experience was exceptional in a very difficult and stressful time. Seyar took care of everything, delivered and set up the bed with a smile. He treated us with care and compassion. I cannot thank him enough. I highly recommend Sonder Care. Deirdre O'Brien

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After much research, I decided to purchase a SonderCare hospital bed for my husband; however, ordering a product of this cost online without a person to back this product did not appeal to me. Fortunately, I found Walt and AbleMed in Savannah, Ga. Walt immediately connected me to Zoey, who is amazing. She is knowledgeable and professional. Her level of customer service is second to none, answering all pre-purchase questions and following up on all details post purchase. Walt’s white glove delivery service far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend SonderCare, as it is a premium hospital bed that meets and exceeds my needs; however, the best part of my SonderCare purchase is the customer service of Walt and Zoey.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had amazing service today, I had some issues with my loaner bed not having the safety precautions from another service provider. I met Seyar, and he was able to help me out with a same day rental. Without his help, I would have had to cancel my transport reservation for my Mom, and she would have had to have a longer hospital stay. I am so grateful and thankful he was able to help me out when I was so stressed. He saved the day! Would highly recommend contacting him to help you.
