Rated 4.9/5 by Home Care Professionals

When transitioning from hospital to home, your choice of medical bed profoundly impacts recovery, safety, and quality of life. The Sondercare Aura™ Platinum 39" Luxury Hospital Bed represents the pinnacle of home healthcare—a hospital-certified bed that combines advanced therapeutic positioning with elegant upholstered design in slate gray Crypton™ fabric. The Med-Mizer ComfortWide EX8000 Bariatric Bed offers basic hospital functionality with standard medical appearance and variable width options.

While both beds offer fully electric operation and ultra-low positioning, the Aura™ Platinum delivers superior therapeutic capabilities including full Trendelenburg tilt (forward and backward), 90-degree Comfort Chair positioning, and comprehensive Zero Gravity support—features designed to address circulation, respiratory function, and pain management. The luxury upholstered headboards and side panels create a dignified, residential aesthetic that transforms the bedroom into a healing sanctuary rather than a clinical space.

The Aura™ Platinum includes two fully height-adjustable assist rails that provide customizable support and security, while the Med-Mizer offers one-position rails with limited flexibility. SonderCare's guaranteed delivery windows (including rush options as fast as 1-3 days) and professional white glove installation across North America ensure your transition home is seamless and stress-free—a stark contrast to the uncertain lead times and limited installation availability typical of standard medical equipment.

For discerning individuals who refuse to compromise between hospital-grade functionality and luxury aesthetics, the Aura™ Platinum represents an investment in dignity, therapeutic excellence, and comprehensive support that standard medical beds cannot match.

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.

Why SonderCare Aura™ Platinum 39" Wins

The Aura™ Platinum 39" distinguishes itself through a comprehensive approach to luxury home healthcare that addresses both clinical needs and aesthetic preferences. The upholstered headboards and side panels in slate gray Crypton™ fabric create a sophisticated, furniture-grade appearance that transforms the bedroom into a healing sanctuary rather than a clinical space. This stain-resistant, fluid-resistant upholstery maintains its elegant appearance while providing the practical durability required for long-term medical use.

Advanced therapeutic positioning capabilities set the Aura™ Platinum apart. The 90-degree Comfort Chair position provides true upright seating for dining, reading, and socializing—promoting independence and normalcy during recovery. Full Trendelenburg tilt (forward and backward) addresses specific medical conditions including circulation issues, respiratory challenges, and post-surgical positioning requirements. The comprehensive Zero Gravity position elevates legs above the heart to reduce swelling and back pain, while the 71-degree backrest angle (versus 70 degrees) provides enhanced positioning flexibility.

The two fully height-adjustable assist rails provide customizable support that adapts to changing needs throughout recovery. Unlike one-position rails that offer limited functionality, these adjustable rails enable patients to find the optimal support height for transfers, repositioning, and nighttime security. The four ultra-quiet DC motors ensure smooth, silent operation that won't disturb rest or recovery—a critical consideration for home environments where family members share living spaces.

SonderCare's commitment to service excellence addresses the practical challenges of transitioning from hospital to home. Guaranteed delivery windows with rush options as fast as 1-3 days ensure you're not left waiting during critical recovery periods. Professional white glove installation across North America means expert setup, safety verification, and operational training—eliminating the stress and potential safety risks of self-assembly. This comprehensive support, combined with hospital-certified construction and luxury aesthetics, makes the Aura™ Platinum 39" the superior choice for discerning individuals who refuse to compromise between medical functionality and residential elegance.

 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 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.
