Massage Couches

One of the keys to a successful massage is for the client to be relaxed and comfortable. The equipment used has a lot to do with the client's comfort. One critical piece to consider is the massage couch face rest. This is where the client comes in direct contact with the equipment and you want them to be comfortable and impressed with the quality of your equipment because it reflects on your level of professionalism.

There are several different styles of massage table face rests to choose from as well as different materials they are made out of. The most basic is the simple face crescent. This is the tried and tested design that supports the outside of the face while leaving room through the center for the eyes nose and mouth so the client can breath and be comfortable. Another popular massage head rest is an aero cel face rest pad. This design is flexible and can be twisted into different shapes and adjusted to accommodate different clients and what they find comfortable. This is a good option if you have a client that is not happy with the standard face crescent. At around $30, this pad is three times the cost of the basic pad, but it is well made and if it helps you keep a regular client it will pay for itself in no time.

Another nice option for a massage couch face rest is one upholstered in fleece. This is extra soft and comfortable and your massage clients will be sure to appreciate it. These types of massage table face rests are meant to be rested on the bed or table. If you have a smaller table or a portable one, then it might be nice to go with a massage head rest that attaches to the end of the table. This essentially makes the whole table longer and more comfortable for the client and makes it easier for you to work. These types of face rests start at about $15 and range up to $65 depending on the options you want.

One nice option that is well worth the expense is to get a massage table face rest that is adjustable. This will help you fit it to a variety of different body types and your customers will end up more comfortable and more satisfied.

If you already have a massage face rest, you can find just the frame that attaches to the table and use your own face rest with that. Buying just the frame also allows you to customize because you can get exactly what massage table face rest you want and still use it with an adjustable frame that attaches to the end of the table giving you the best possible setup.

Whatever style you choose you want to make sure you have plenty of massage face rest covers. These are usually sold in boxes of 50 which is a good thing because you do not want to run out. It is best to wait until you set up the table and the client is there and then put the fresh cover on so that they know they are being treated right and you know they will be happy with the service.
