I am opening a small massage therapy office and am currently choosing a suitable couch. Honestly, my eyes are running wide. I see that the market in 2025 is overflowing with different models – there are simple options, there are options with heating, vibration, and even “smart” couches with an app. I want my clients to be as comfortable as possible, and for me to work comfortably. I heard that the right couch can really affect the quality of massage and even the number of repeat bookings. Maybe someone has already bought one and can advise what features to pay attention to? What is better – electric drive or mechanical adjustment?

A couch is not just furniture, but a tool that helps retain clients. The most important thing is the height and backrest adjustment. An electric couch with several motors will allow you to quickly change position without unnecessary effort. The heating function is very useful – the muscles relax faster, and the massage becomes more effective. I also recommend paying attention to the thickness of the filler, at least 4-6 cm of dense foam rubber or memory foam. Another point is hygiene. The upholstery should be resistant to oils and easy to clean. There are good options at https://www.dirstore.co.uk/ – there are many professional couches for salons and therapists. Yes, the price may seem high, but this is an investment for years to come. I took a model with vibration and heating from them – clients are happy, and I myself get tired less. So it is better to invest in a high-quality couch right away than to change a cheap one every couple of years.

For a classic massage, a good stable couch with height adjustment is enough. But if there are additional techniques – hot stones, aroma massage or therapy for athletes, then it is really worth looking at the advanced functions. Heating and inclined sections make the process more convenient. I agree that you should pay attention to the upholstery and durability. In my office, I use a model without complex electronics, but it is reliable and can withstand the load. The main thing is that you feel comfortable working, and the client can relax.
