Learning about massage chairs
will help you when choosing a chair. It is important that the buyer
first considers the design and style of the chair, either natural
hardwood or a light weight aluminum design. Web sites specializing in
massage equipment can assist you in finding the appropriate chair. Physical Dimensions: Weight: Chairs weigh an average of from 15 to 20 pounds. These light weight chairs will transport well. Working weight: This is the total amount of weight the portable chair can sustain while the practitioner is working on a client. Therefore, it is a very important specification. Height: All portable chairs on the market today have an adjustable height range. This enables the client to be comfortable and allows the practitioner the much needed versatility in his/her massage technique. Wooden or Aluminum: In today's market, wooden and aluminum chairs are two workable material options for your chairs. Natural wooden designs are made from oak or maple hardwoods and are a great natural choice. These particular chairs usually weigh more than aluminum chairs, but offer a sturdy option. Even though aluminum chairs are very light weight, they are also structurally sound, and are able to support the same working weight as the wooden chairs. Both designs work well. Make your decision based on your personal preference. Strength: There are two terms used by manufacturers when rating their chairs: static weight and working weight. Static Weight: This is the maximum amount of weight that can be distributed across the entire surface of the chair. It is generally determined by applying weights to the chairs to determine the heaviest weight load that the chair will withstand. Working Weight: The total pounds per square inch that can be applied to the specific working area of the chair during the use of the chair. Foam: A 2" medium dense foam is used on most standard chairs. Fabric Types: Levante Doeskin: This material is a smooth, soft vinyl and is treated with Pre Fixx, which makes it easy to clean as well as stain resistant. Sta-Soft: This material is comparable to Levante Doeskin, but is protected with BeautyGuard finish. Ultraleather: This is a very long-lasting, easy to clean and lightweight material. For an extra cost, this material is available in premium, supple fabrics. |
