Portable Massage Table Purchase Considerations
It will be worth your while to understand a few important aspects of portable massage tables. This understanding will then help you to make the better choice in respect to your specific needs. Following are these important features.
– Table Weight
Weight is very important when it comes to portable massage tables. This includes both your weight, and the weight of the table itself. The weight of the table is important because it is a portable system, so the lighter it is, the better. Next is the maximum weight the table can carry. In this case, the higher the maximum, the better.
– Table Size
Most massage tables are 73 inches (185 cm) long and 27 inches (69 cm) wide. While few tables can be longer or wider than this, and their extra length may be advantageous in some ways, the same extra dimensions are also a disadvantage for portable massage tables because they become heavier and more cumbersome to transport.
– Comfort Level
The goal of a massage session is to create comfort and release tension, so a massage table should as well provide a certain level of comfort. This depends to a large extent on the type and thickness of the foam used. Different tables come with different types of foams with varying levels of comfort, including memory foam. Most foams are also roughly 2 inches (5 cm) thick, while the more luxurious ones are about 4 inches (10 cm) thick.
– Adjustable Table Height
Most massage tables are height adjustable, but not all of them are. Height adjustability is of course important to prevent back strain issues for the person giving the massage. So check to make sure a table’s height can be adjusted.
