Massage table bolsters are an important part of your table that are often overlooked in the purchasing process. With really high-quality massage tables, there will come a time when you have to replace them – because the bolsters simply suffer more wear than other parts of the table.

And when you replace the bolsters – there are many things to take care of.

Of course, we all would like cheap bolsters, but it is worth spending a bit more. For example, the visual appearance of your table is an important thing that makes a first impression on new clients.

You want them to be in the mind set that they feel they can trust you. And in order to do that, appearance and taste are already something that matters.

So chose colors that match your table. A lot of people think: “Bah, it’s just a color, most people have their eyes closed during the treatment anyway” – but it’s one way how you can make a positive impression very easily, and you should make use of that opportunity.

Many massage table bolsters also have handles that can be used to pull them out – make sure that these bolsters are well-designed. Because what often happens with inferior handles is that over time, they start to create tears in the bolster – and that is an absolute no-no.

The most common massage table bolster material is vinyl, which is good for maintenance and hygiene, because it is easy to clean and robust.
