Soma® Safe Enclosure vs Competitors

Unlike many competitors that use opaque, non-porous materials, the Soma Safe Bed features black netting for clear visibility so staff can easily monitor patients at all times. The white zipper tabs on the access panels are designed for quick, intuitive access, helping caregivers respond swiftly when needed. Where competitors often rely on bolt-on systems that complicate installation and can create hazards, Soma integrates seamlessly with existing hospital beds and mattresses—no extra hardware required.

Entrapment risk is another serious concern with competitor products. Their solid, non-porous materials can trap fluids and create dangerous pooling, increasing the risk of suffocation. In contrast, the Soma Safe Bed uses a porous, breathable design that allows fluids to drain, reducing entrapment hazards while supporting better infection control. Its materials are engineered to be easy to clean with hospital-grade disinfectants and are compatible with specialized chemical washing processes, ensuring a higher standard of hygiene. This thoughtful design also prevents persistent odors and limits bacterial growth.

Quality and durability set Soma apart even further. While competitors often use lower-cost parts manufactured and assembled overseas, Soma Safe Beds are proudly made in the USA with exceptional quality control. The construction is robust, featuring a lock-in zipper tab to prevent patient tampering and reduce maintenance needs over time. Fewer moving parts and no bolt-on attachments mean fewer opportunities for failure and breakage, saving hospitals time and money on repairs.

Soma also offers unmatched support and service. Through an optional onsite standby program, hospitals can keep Soma beds ready for immediate use whenever needed. In addition, expert support is available for setup, training, and ongoing service—something competitors simply don't provide, leaving hospitals to handle all assembly, cleaning, and repairs on their own.
