Massage Tables
The massage tables and portable beauty beds collection includes folding massage couches, two-section tables, three-section beauty beds and height-adjustable treatment tables. HOMCOM models are available with wooden or aluminium frames, padded surfaces and removable headrests. Before choosing, compare the usable lying surface, working height, folded dimensions, product weight and maximum stated load. A table for a permanent treatment room may have different requirements from one that needs to be transported regularly.
Folding Massage Tables with Wooden Frames
A wooden-frame massage table can provide a dedicated surface for massage and suitable beauty treatments at home or in a treatment room. The HOMCOM wooden folding massage table with adjustable height and padded face rest measures 215 x 70 cm overall, including the headrest.
Its working height adjusts from 61 to 86 cm, while the lying surface measures 185 x 70 cm. The table includes a wooden frame, a faux leather covering, 4 cm foam padding and a headrest that can be adjusted independently. The manufacturer states a maximum load of 225 kg.
The table folds to 91.5 x 70 x 17 cm for storage. Before purchasing, check the difference between the overall length and the actual lying surface, especially if the table will be used by taller adults. Leave sufficient clearance around the table for the practitioner to move safely.
Portable Massage Beds with Two Sections
A two-section massage bed provides a relatively straightforward folding structure for home use, massage rooms and mobile appointments. The HOMCOM portable two-section massage bed with beech wood frame and carrying bag combines a padded treatment surface with a detachable headrest and folding wooden frame.
The usable bed surface measures 180 x 60 cm, with 4 cm foam padding. Its overall dimensions, including accessories, are 210 x 81 cm, and the manufacturer states a maximum load of 250 kg. The table folds to approximately 91 x 60 x 16 cm.
Before choosing a portable massage bed, consider whether the surface is wide enough for the intended treatment and whether the folded unit can be carried comfortably. The supplied carrying bag is useful for transport, but the overall packed weight and access to stairs or vehicles also need to be considered.
Lightweight Aluminium Massage Tables
An aluminium-frame massage table may be useful for mobile beauty therapists and massage practitioners who frequently travel between appointments. The HOMCOM lightweight aluminium folding massage table with carry bag measures 185 x 70 cm and has an adjustable working height of 59-80 cm.
The table uses an aluminium-alloy frame, MDF components, a padded surface and PVC upholstery. Its net weight is 13 kg, and it folds to 92.5 x 70 x 15 cm. The manufacturer states a maximum load of 225 kg.
For mobile appointments, compare the table's actual weight and folded dimensions with your transport needs. Aluminium construction does not automatically mean that every model is lighter than every wooden table, so check the specifications of each product individually.
Three-Section Massage Tables with Adjustable Head Sections
Three-section massage tables offer additional positioning options compared with simpler two-section models. They can be useful for beauty treatments and other activities where the manufacturer's permitted backrest or head-section adjustments are required.
The HOMCOM three-section portable aluminium beauty massage bed with adjustable head section has a working height range of 61-84 cm and a maximum stated load of 225 kg.
It includes a padded face rest, detachable accessories, an adjustable head section, faux leather upholstery and a carry bag. The three-section construction folds for storage and transport.
Before choosing a three-section table, check exactly which sections can be raised and whether the available positions suit the intended treatment. The table's overall width with accessories may differ from the width of the main lying surface, so both measurements should be checked.
Compact Massage Couches for Smaller Treatment Rooms
For a treatment room with limited floor space, a narrower massage table may leave more room for equipment and movement. The HOMCOM compact folding massage couch with solid beech frame and removable face pillow measures 186 x 60 cm.
The height adjusts across eight settings from 58 to 81 cm, and the manufacturer states a maximum load of 150 kg. The table uses a beech wood frame, foam padding and a PU covering designed for easier surface cleaning. A carrying bag is included.
Compare its narrower surface with the width and body position required for the intended use. A compact massage couch may be easier to fit into a smaller room, but it is not necessarily suitable for every client or treatment technique.
Beauty Beds for Lash, Facial and Tattoo Work
Portable beauty beds can also be used for suitable facial, eyelash and tattoo work when their intended use and positioning features are appropriate. For these activities, the height of the working surface, support for the client's head and the practitioner's access around the bed are particularly important.
A two-section table may be sufficient for some flat-position treatments, while a three-section model can provide additional adjustments. Check whether the headrest, side supports and backrest can be removed or repositioned, and whether the upholstery is compatible with the cleaning products used in the workplace.
Massage tables and portable beauty beds should not be assumed to provide the functions of electrically powered treatment couches or specialist medical equipment. Select products according to the manufacturer's stated purpose and any professional requirements relevant to the service.
Beauty Stools
The beauty stools and adjustable salon chairs collection includes rolling stools, saddle seats, backrest stools and salon work chairs. These products are designed for different seated tasks in hairdressing, beauty treatments, massage rooms and home workstations. The main differences are seat shape, height adjustment, back support, footrests, wheel design and weight capacity.
Rolling Beauty Stools with Open Backrests
A rolling stool with a backrest can offer a seated working position while allowing movement around a suitable workstation. The HOMCOM adjustable rolling salon stool with breathable open backrest and padded seat measures 50 x 54 x 66-78 cm overall.
The seat height adjusts from 45 to 57 cm. The stool includes a 5 cm foam cushion, faux leather upholstery, a steel base, five castors and a full swivel function. The maximum stated load is 136 kg.
For a salon workstation, compare the stool's adjustable seat height with the height of the treatment bed or work surface. An open backrest provides a different support arrangement from a full-height chair and may not be appropriate for every person's sitting preferences.
Saddle Stools for Beauty and Hairdressing Work
A saddle stool has a contoured seat shape that differs from a flat round salon stool. This design changes the contact between the seat and the user's legs and may suit certain working positions, depending on personal comfort and the tasks being performed.
The HOMCOM white saddle beauty stool with gas lift and five swivel wheels has a seat-height adjustment range of 49-61 cm.
Its overall footprint measures 52 x 53 cm, while the contoured saddle seat measures 36 x 35 cm. It is made with a steel base, foam padding and PU upholstery, with a maximum stated load of 120 kg.
When choosing a saddle stool, consider the seat width and adjustment range as well as the shape. A saddle design does not guarantee correct posture or prevent back pain, and users may need to alternate their sitting position during longer working sessions.
Salon Stools with Backrests and Footrests
For seated work where a footrest and low back support are preferred, a rolling stool with both features offers a different arrangement from a backless saddle seat. The HOMCOM black salon rolling stool with backrest, adjustable footrest and swivel seat has an overall height of 70-86 cm.
The seat height adjusts from 48 to 64 cm, and the padded seat has a thickness of 6 cm. The stool features a low backrest, faux leather upholstery, a metal base and castors. The maximum stated load is 120 kg.
Before selecting a stool with a footrest, check whether the footrest position can accommodate your legs comfortably and whether the seat height suits the table or workstation. A low backrest is different from the support offered by a full-size office chair.
Compact Rolling Beauty Stools with Foot Rings
A compact rolling stool can be useful where a larger salon chair would obstruct movement around a treatment table. The HOMCOM square padded beauty stool with adjustable height and footrest measures 34 x 34 cm across its base.
It has a seat-height adjustment range of 50-66 cm, five universal castors, PU upholstery and 5 cm foam padding. A footrest provides an additional place to position the feet. The maximum stated load is 120 kg.
For narrow working areas, check the space needed for the wheels to move and the position of nearby furniture. A smaller stool may reduce its footprint, but the compact seat may not provide the same support as a wider chair.
Vinsetto Salon Stools with Round Seats
Round salon stools provide a flat seating surface and can be suitable for tasks where the user needs to turn frequently. The Vinsetto adjustable round salon stool with PU leather seat and steel footrest measures 42 cm in diameter and has a height adjustment range of 50-64 cm.
The padded seat measures 32 cm in diameter, and the steel frame includes a footrest and five castors. The manufacturer states a maximum load of 110 kg.
When comparing a round stool with a saddle stool or a backrest model, consider the seated tasks, the space available and whether the user needs additional back or foot support. The correct choice depends on the individual and the working environment.
How to Choose SPA and Massage Equipment
- Massage table or beauty stool: A massage table provides a padded surface for a client to lie on, while a beauty stool is seating for the person performing an appropriate treatment or task. The two types of equipment serve different purposes.
- Two-section or three-section table: Compare the available adjustments and the positions supported by the product. A three-section model may provide more flexibility, but that does not mean every section can be adjusted independently.
- Wooden or aluminium frame: Compare the actual product weight, working-height range, folded dimensions and stated load capacity. Material alone is not enough to establish portability or strength.
- Usable table dimensions: Distinguish between the main lying surface and overall dimensions including headrests and side accessories. These measurements can differ significantly.
- Working height: Choose a massage table or salon stool with an adjustment range suitable for the task and the user's height. Check both the minimum and maximum height rather than focusing on a single advertised figure.
- Maximum load: Check the manufacturer's rated load for the specific product. This is not interchangeable with the weight of the table or the capacities of separate accessories. All adjustment and locking mechanisms must be used correctly.
- Portable massage tables: Compare net weight, folded dimensions and the presence of carrying handles or a bag. Consider doorways, staircases, vehicle loading and storage space.
- Permanent treatment rooms: Allow sufficient space around the table for safe access and movement. Consider the placement of stools, storage and other equipment before choosing the table size.
- Padding and upholstery: Check foam thickness and the covering material. Faux leather and PVC coverings have different care requirements, and water-resistant surfaces are not necessarily waterproof.
- Removable accessories: Face rests, armrests and additional supports can change the usable dimensions and client positioning. Check which accessories are included with the chosen table.
- Salon stool height: Compare the seat-height range with the height of the treatment table or workstation. A stool that is too low or too high may make certain tasks uncomfortable.
- Seat shape and backrest: Saddle seats, round stools and backrest stools offer different forms of support. Personal fit and comfort matter more than general claims about ergonomic posture.
- Castors and flooring: Check whether the wheels are suitable for the floor material and can roll without obstruction. Keep the working area free from loose cables and other trip hazards.
- Cleaning: Follow the manufacturer's care instructions for padding, upholstery and metal or wooden components. For professional environments, verify compatibility with the required hygiene and cleaning procedures.
- Assembly and inspection: Check the table's hinges, height-adjustment mechanisms, locking supports and stool gas lift before use. Equipment showing signs of instability or damage should not be used.
- Professional requirements: Equipment used in massage, beauty and treatment businesses must be appropriate for the intended service. Check any applicable professional, hygiene, insurance and workplace requirements separately.
Frequently Asked Questions About SPA and Massage Equipment
What is the difference between a massage table and a beauty bed?
A massage table generally provides a padded surface for massage and similar activities. A beauty bed may include additional positioning features for facial, lash, tattoo or other beauty treatments. The names can overlap, so compare the actual table sections, supported positions, dimensions and intended use.
Is a two-section or three-section massage table better?
Neither is automatically better. A two-section table may be sufficient for treatments that mainly use a flat lying surface. A three-section design can provide additional adjustment options. Choose according to the positions required and the manufacturer's permitted configurations.
Are wooden or aluminium massage tables easier to transport?
Portability depends on the specific model. Aluminium tables are available in lightweight designs, while wooden models also come in folding versions. Compare net weight, folded dimensions and carrying accessories rather than assuming all products made from one material weigh the same.
What size portable massage table should I choose?
Compare the main lying surface width and length with the intended client and treatment requirements. Also consider the overall dimensions when accessories are attached. Measure the working area to ensure enough room to move around the table safely.
How do I choose the correct height for a massage table?
The suitable working height depends on the practitioner, technique and intended treatment. Check the full adjustment range and follow professional guidance for the relevant activity. The table should remain stable and correctly locked at the selected height.
Can a folding massage table be used in a home treatment room?
Yes, if the model is suitable for the intended purpose and installed on a stable, level floor. Check the available space, weight rating and working-height range. Ensure the folding frame and support mechanisms are secured according to the instructions.
Is a portable massage table suitable for mobile beauty services?
A portable table may be practical when appointments take place at different locations. Compare its weight, folded dimensions, carrying case and setup requirements. Make sure the treatment location has adequate floor space and an appropriate surface for safe installation.
Can a folding massage bed be used as a permanent sleeping bed?
No such use should be assumed. Portable massage and beauty beds are intended for the activities specified by the manufacturer and are not automatically designed for overnight sleeping or continuous use as conventional beds.
Do massage tables include a face hole or headrest?
Many portable massage tables include a face rest or removable headrest, but accessories differ between products. Some designs include an opening in the padded surface, while others use an external headrest attachment. Check the product photos and package contents before purchasing.
Are faux leather massage tables waterproof?
Some massage tables have water-resistant or easy-clean coverings, but this does not make the complete product waterproof. Moisture may still affect seams, padding, hinges or frame components. Follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions and avoid soaking the upholstery.
What is the difference between a saddle stool and a round salon stool?
A saddle stool has a contoured seat that creates a different sitting position from a flat round stool. Round stools generally offer a more conventional seating surface. Compare the available height adjustment, seat width, footrest, back support and personal comfort before choosing.
What height beauty stool do I need for a massage table?
Measure the working height of the table and compare it with the stool's seat-height adjustment range. Consider the user's leg position, reach and the tasks being performed. There is no single stool height that is appropriate for every person or treatment.
Are salon stools with backrests more comfortable?
A backrest provides an additional point of contact, but comfort depends on its size, position and the user's preferences. Some people prefer an open-back stool for movement, while others prefer more support. Check the seat dimensions and working height as well as the backrest design.
Can beauty stools be used on wooden floors?
That depends on the castor material, the condition of the floor and the manufacturer's instructions. Some wheels may mark or scratch delicate surfaces. Check compatibility and consider suitable floor protection where necessary.
How should I clean a salon beauty stool?
Use cleaning products appropriate for the upholstery and follow the product instructions. Remove debris from the castors, avoid excessive moisture around the gas-lift mechanism and inspect the frame periodically. Professional salon use may require additional hygiene procedures appropriate to the service.
Are massage tables and beauty stools considered medical equipment?
Not automatically. Products marketed for spa, salon or home massage use should not be assumed to meet the requirements for specialist medical devices or clinical treatment equipment. Suitability depends on the manufacturer's intended use and any applicable professional or regulatory requirements.
