Message tables come in a myriad of shapes and sizes. This is one of the reasons why many spa owners are confused about which size to pick and which do not. A few spa owners, on the other hand, believe that all the massage tables come in a “one size fits all” option, which for obvious reasons is just an unfortunate assumption.
Regardless, to help you in your dilemma. We will take a look at certain aspects of massage table sizing to help you find the best size.
What is the standard size?
Typically, the standard size of a massage table is 73inches (185cms) long and 28inches (71cms) wide. The lightweight budget massage tables sold for a lower cost because:
- They are smaller in size, around 61cms wide. This means less material is used in its production.
- They are sold by specialist retailers who are just looking forward to making profits by selling anything and everything.
Regardless, it is best not to opt for narrow massage tables that are around 61cms. This is because clients who aren’t petite may find it hard to relax, feel comfortable, and be supported.
What are the different adjustment mechanisms found in modern massage tables?
1- Twisting knobs
If you wish to invest in wooden massage bed, it is best to opt for one that has two knobs on each of the four legs. This way, the table will have greater strength and reliability. A cheaper alternative in the market usually has a single knob. So, if you raise the legs to the highest heights, the table will become a little less stable and can snap.
2- Telescopic push-buttons
The mechanism for adjusting the aluminum massage table’s height is very much similar to that of push-button methods on aluminum crutches. It only takes a few seconds to adjust each of these legs. Plus, the mechanism is highly reliable.
Tips to keep in mind
- Therapists typically opt for tables that are 28-inch wide massage tables. Since all the tables have the same length, it is the width that you need to take care of.
- The most popular widths are 28 and 30 inches.
- If you wish to reduce the weight, you can opt for tables with lesser width.
