Stylish & Comfortable
When we talk of the comfort of bed the first thing that pops into anyone’s mind is thick soft and comfortable mattress. The quality of foam plays an imperative role in providing a nice support to you or to a client’s body to unwind & relax during the treatment. A low density foam will sag or flatten in long run spoiling the entire comfort & look of your massage bed. Apart from foam, the upholstery of bed should also be long lasting.

Fit for your Body Size
How tall are you or the size of clients you generally work with will help you decide the height & width of a massage bed? Being a therapist, you need to consider maximum & minimum heights say 5’5” to 6’2” or 6’4” as a general rule of thumb as it would accommodate all body types & styles. On the other hand, for personal use one can opt for the one suitable to your own height & width. There are a number of adjustable height choices as well based on personal preferences and style.

Weight limit

You or your clients would not like to have any disastrous episodes while treatment henceforth it is imperative to understand the difference between static & working weight. The safe working weight is the weight a bed can bear due to extra side load of therapist & the pressure exerted on the client without the dread of breaking it whereas the static weight is related to a safe weight uniformly spread over the top of the bed. It is hard to digest but India is one amongst the top ten nations with obese people.
