There are three ways to pay for the Superhuman Light R1: cash, an equipment loan or a lease. For most operators a lease keeps cash free and matches the payment to the revenue the bed earns. Our estimate for the R1 is about $620 per month over 60 months, on approved credit (OAC).

Lease. You pay monthly and use the bed. At the end of the term, you can usually buy it, return it or upgrade, depending on the lease type. Read the end-of-term terms before you sign.
Equipment loan. You borrow to buy the bed and own it from day one. The bed itself usually secures the loan.
Cash. The lowest total cost and no approval step. It also ties up capital you may want for launch marketing.
What the R1 lease estimate means
The $620 per month figure is an estimate based on the $29,900 price over 60 months. It is not an offer. Your actual payment depends on:
- The lender and the program they approve.
- Your business credit, time in business and personal credit.
- The term you choose and any down payment.
- Taxes and fees in your state.
You get a firm number when a lender approves you.
Does the bed cover its payment?
Compare the monthly payment with what the bed can earn. At $60 per session, about 11 sessions a month cover a $620 payment. Running cost adds about $60–120 per month in electricity. An illustrative example: $60 per session × 6 sessions a day comes to about $93,600 a year. Your numbers will differ. Use the ROI calculator and see the cost guide.
Section 179 and taxes
In the US, business equipment may qualify for a Section 179 deduction, which can let you deduct some or all of the purchase price in the year the equipment is placed in service instead of depreciating it over years. Whether it applies, and how much, depends on your business, how you finance, annual limits and current law.
