Hi everyone
I'm looking to buy a portable bed to do mobile treatments and with so many out there I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. Been looking online and I'm a little confused as to which one I should buy? I'll be doing Reflexology & Massage. More so would need one which is not too heavy too carry around but still strong at the same time 🙂
Thanks

PS Is it best getting one as well that has adjustable head/back rest and does it matter if its wooden or metal legs? Thanks 🙂
There are so many available! Have a look at this site - http://www.naturalliving.co.uk/acatalog/portable_massage_tables.html#.U5s-pPldU8F plus I imagine more people will be along later with their opinions.
One of my friends bought the Medtek Superlight last year - she is quite pleased with it, but never uses the arm or head rest. She does sometimes mutter about hitting her toes on the end bar, but soon adjusted!

Thanks Jabba, yeah there's so many options online and I must have a look now soon. Meant to say that its moreso Indian Head Massage I'm doing along with Reflexology. I'm sure one with the adjustable lifting back rest would be good? Just thinking about whether to get one with the face hole in the bed or get one where you attach the head cradle/rest to the end of the bed? Just not sure which of these would be best for the client?
I have had IHM many times (I have friends to swap with!!) and each time I have been seated in a chair - I find the beds with the adjustable back rests very uncomfortable to sit on for any length of time. Different matter if the bed is either pneumatic or electric, where you can adjust the leg position too. When I am having reflexology, I prefer to be lying down, supported with pillows, rather than in a chair. I do home visits, and use a couch that I bought in the USA nearly 30 years ago! I had it made with extra thick padding and my clients find it very comfortable. It does not have a facehole - I opted not to have one.
I use NRG tables in our clinic, and Gravity Chairs for house-calls. We also take an NRG table. It depends on what the needs are.
NRG tables have a lifetime warranty, and their Customer Service is second to none. We've been doing business with them for over 10 years.
