Massage couch covers/cot sheets towling or flannelette?

Towelling is best.

However, cot sheets are too small, and I found that the single bed sheets are better.

I use Aztec couch covers, they're light weight, so it means that you can get more in the washer and therefore cut down on laundry costs.

But that depends on how many clients you see a week.

Myarka.

I use terry towelling SINGLE bed sheets. They are stretchy and pretty much fit the massage table perfectly (fine as long as you have a face cradle rather than a face hole). I think I paid around £6 for a 2-pack (and I've bought several packs). I bought some in Makro and some in T J Hughes, but I imagine it's easy enough to get them elsewhere.

The only thing I'll say about them is that they tend to start going grey-ish (still look clean and fresh - just not as pure white as when brand new) after a while. I wash all my white towels and sheets separately at 90 degrees, so maybe it's the high temperature that's making them less white?

Hope this helps.

Thanks everybody for your advice. How do you get around the sheets when you have arm rests? I am only just learning at the moment and just bought my couch and trying to sort myself out and i know this has been threaded before but what is the best way, sheet then towel, sheet then blanket? What do you all find is best?

Because the towelling single bed sheets are a bit too big and stretchy too, they fit over the arm rests and also I've stretched them over a face cradle as well!

Well i did think of that with the arms but wasn't sure if it would look ok. Doesn't putting it over the face cradle get in the way for the clients head? Think it is a good ideal though as the cradle covers are quite expensive but if it works i will be sure to give it a go. Thank you

Hi i bought some single toweling sheets and they are brilliant but the place i had them from doesn't do them anymore and the only place i seem to be able to get them is eBay anyone know of anywhere else?
