General Information
Material selection
About the choice of material, you should first consider whether you prefer a wooden frame or an aluminum frame. Traditionally, the frames of a massage table are made of wood, but aluminum also has great advantages, so that the material has recently become more and more established. The greatest advantage of aluminum is certainly its low weight.
Therefore, the more often you have to set up and dismantle or transport the bed, the more worthwhile an aluminum frame. In terms of stability, the two materials hardly differ from each other, because aluminum offers a similarly good or, depending on the wood thickness, even better stability and possibly even a higher load capacity. However, this depends individually on the model. In the opinion of most testers, aluminum is inferior to the classic natural material. In mobile use, however, this plays a subordinate role for most users. On the other hand, it looks different again if you mainly use the bed in a fixed place and only transport it occasionally.
In this context, please also note that a very cheap mobile massage table made of aluminum is often more unstable and wobblier than a table with a wooden frame. Therefore, you often have to pay a little more for a high-quality and stable aluminum massage table than for a table with a wooden frame. Because the decision whether wood or aluminum is now better, many combined models have meanwhile been able to establish themselves in which the frame is made of wood, but the reinforcements and cross struts are made of aluminum.
Do not forget the upholstery when examining the materials, because these also have a decisive influence on comfort, durability, and, finally, the stability and overall quality of the bed. Clean seams and robust upper material are important here. It is also important that the foam always returns to its original position and that no hollow is formed that remains. Of course, all materials must also be free of harmful substances, but that goes without saying. To be able to assess this better, one or the other seal of approval helps.
Size and comfort
The size of the massage table must be chosen so that on the one hand you can transport it easily, but on the other hand, you can also find large people in your place. The total length of the bed should therefore ideally be 2.20 meters or more.
About the upholstery, you should make sure that they are not too thin and – as already mentioned – the seams are neatly processed because these are often the weak point. The processing of the armrests and the headrest should also always be flawless. Most mobile couches are approved up to a working weight of 250 or more. A load capacity of fewer than 250 kilograms is often very unstable and wobbles a lot during use. This should generally be sufficient for mobile use, provided you offer conventional massages. When it comes to Thai massage, in which you may put your body weight on the couch in addition to the customer, you must of course take this into account. In addition to the working weight, you should also pay attention to the static weight capacity.
In addition to the length, make sure to also note the width of the bed. Because if it is too narrow, taller, and wider customers may find it narrow and uncomfortable. This can cost you a customer. A wide and well-padded headboard should therefore always be standard. If additional armrests are included, so much the better.
