What to Ensure When Buying a Massage Bed for Your Spa

by Shiv Kumar Gupta SEO Webmaster Furnishing a massage parlour can seem daunting in the beginning, but it all comes down to a few simple know-hows. If you are aware of the options and the technology that is available to you, it’s easier for you to assess the needs of your parlour taking into account what your target clientele is likely to need and appreciate.

Fortunately for you, there are diverse classifications into which the massage bed of your choice can fall into, and this article will list a few of attributes to a bed that you should keep in mind when you make a decision to add it as your parlour’s equipment.

Wet/Dry Massage Beds

Since massages are of different types, so are massage beds. A dry massage bed is a bed that is made out of material that is susceptible to exposure to water for prolonged durations. A “dry” massage either takes place without the application of any fluids, or with the mere application of essential oils given the requirement.

As such, dry massages are fairly common and you may consider if you’re well-off with buying a simple and inexpensive bed that only caters to one kind of massage. However, if you have a team (or a single masseuse) who specialises in wet massages, you are probably going to need a bed specially built to tolerate that. There are, of course, multipurpose beds that are fit for both wet and dry massages.




Tradition or Technology?

This can be a crucial question if you have a massage parlour in a locality that caters to a specific demographic of the population of your city or town. As a thumb rule, the older generations would prefer a more traditional massage therapy that calls for a massage bed made out of high quality wood and equipped with conventional but not too technical equipment.

Since relaxation of the mind is a key aspect of massage, you as a service provider should take into account where exactly your client feels comfortable.




On the other hand, the younger generation often prefers technological advancements of massage beds that are built out of artificial materials of fabrication and come with electrical and electronic gear that can, if used correctly, greatly improve the quality of a massage.

Before you pick any specific massage bed, consider if you have a massage therapist who is comfortable using that specific kind of bed, and if you have a clientele that will appreciate its inclusion in your parlour.

Size, Capacity, and Storage

Needless to say, this is probably a concern that you cannot afford to overlook.  Spas see people of various shapes, sizes, inclinations, and impairments day in and day out. It is generally a good idea to buy a massage bed that has the capacity to withstand a large amount of weight and is height adjustable.



These are some of the general considerations that should go into your purchase of massage beds for your spa. Naturally, there might also be any number of issues specific to your particular business that also need to be taken into account.
