Description
Building on the success of the previous generation, the Aura Lite 3rd Generation is a refined height adjustable overbed table with wheels, designed for seamless use beside beds, sofas, armchairs, and healthcare seating.
While retaining the popular recessed tabletop and integrated cup holder, this 3rd Generation model introduces three major design upgrades: smoother pneumatic height adjustment, an ultra-low-profile wheeled base, and a fully sealed easy-clean tabletop. The result is a versatile overbed table, over chair table, and mobile bedside table that is easier to position, easier to move, and easier to keep clean.
Fully Sealed MFC Tabletop for Easy Cleaning
At the heart of the Aura Lite 3rd Generation is a strong MFC composite wood core completely enclosed within a continuous, smooth outer surface.
Unlike conventional overbed tables where exposed board edges, joints, or separate edging strips can trap dirt and moisture, the Aura Lite tabletop features a fully sealed finish with smooth, rounded contours. This continuous finish makes routine wiping and disinfection quick and effortless—ideal for home recovery, care homes, assisted-living environments, and healthcare settings.
Recessed Surface & Integrated Cup Holder
The tabletop features a recessed working surface with a raised perimeter edge, preventing pens, phones, cutlery, and reading materials from easily sliding off while helping contain minor everyday spills.
A moulded, recessed cup holder is built directly into the tabletop, providing a secure, stable spot for mugs, glasses, or drinks. Because the cup holder forms part of the continuous tabletop surface, there are no separate seams or joints where dirt can collect.
Ultra-Slim Recessed Wheels & Low-Profile Base
Conventional overbed tables with wheels rely on standard castors mounted beneath the legs, increasing base height and preventing them from sliding under low-clearance furniture. The 3rd Generation Aura Lite features ultra-slim wheels integrated directly into a low-profile base frame.
This low-clearance design allows the table to slide effortlessly beneath divan beds, low beds, armchairs, and modern sofas that traditional hospital bed tables cannot reach.

Why the sealed tabletop matters
An overbed table is often used for food, drinks, medication, laptops and personal items, so the tabletop needs to be practical to maintain.
Traditional MFC furniture can have separate edge banding or exposed joints around the board. Aura Lite’s composite wood core is instead enclosed within a continuous sealed surface, giving the tabletop smoother edges and fewer areas where residue can collect.
For everyday users, that means a tabletop that is simply quicker and easier to wipe clean.
For care and healthcare environments, the smoother construction also makes routine cleaning and disinfection more straightforward. Specialist healthcare overbed tables similarly emphasise smooth lines, minimal joins and accessible surfaces as key features of easy-clean design.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Aura Lite tabletop easy to clean?
Yes. The MFC composite wood core is enclosed by a fully sealed, continuous outer surface with smooth rounded edges. This makes the tabletop straightforward to wipe down and eliminates hard-to-reach joints where dirt can accumulate.
Can the tabletop be disinfected?
Yes. The smooth, non-porous surface is designed for quick routine cleaning and disinfection. Always use a cleaning agent suitable for sealed furniture surfaces and follow the manufacturer’s guidance.
What does “fully sealed MFC” mean?
MFC stands for Melamine-Faced Chipboard, a high-density composite wood material. In the 3rd Generation Aura Lite, the structural core is fully enclosed by the finished outer surface on all sides and edges, protecting the core and creating a smooth, hygienic finish.
Does the table have raised edges and a cup holder?
Yes. The main working area is recessed with a smooth raised perimeter to stop items from sliding off and contain minor spills. A recessed cup holder is moulded directly into the tabletop.
Will it fit underneath a divan bed or sofa?
Yes. The 3rd Generation Aura Lite has been specifically engineered with ultra-slim recessed wheels and a low-profile base to fit under divan beds, low bed frames, and sofas with limited floor clearance. (We recommend checking the published base dimensions against your furniture clearance before ordering.)
Is it suitable as a hospital bed table or for care home use?
Yes. It is ideal as a hospital-style overbed table in home, care home, and rehabilitation environments. Its mobile base, smooth height adjustment, and easy-clean tabletop make it practical for everyday bedside care, meals, and activities.
