Electric, hydraulic or fixed massage table: which one to choose?
The choice of a table primarily depends on the duration and type of services performed :
-
Express care (less than 30 minutes)
One fixed table is often sufficient. Stable and simple, it is suitable for quick services that do not require many adjustments. -
Long-term care (more than 60 minutes)
A electric treatment table is highly recommended.
Wider, thicker and more comfortable, it allows to easily adjust the height and improve comfort, for both the client and the practitioner. -
Home or event
Une folding table is the ideal solution.
Lightweight, portable and quick to install, it perfectly adapts to mobile services.

Electric or hydraulic massage table?
The choice between an electric or hydraulic massage table mainly depends on your way of working. On an electric table equipped with a foot control, the height can be adjusted without letting go of the equipment or interrupting the treatment: a real advantage when your hands are busy. Also check the height adjustment range. A sufficiently wide range allows the table to be adapted to treatments performed standing, but also to treatments carried out while sitting, while maintaining a comfortable posture. This adjustment becomes particularly important when the same room is used by several practitioners of different heights: each can quickly find a suitable working height. A hydraulic table also allows height adjustment, but its mechanical adjustment is generally less smooth during a treatment.

This feature is especially appreciated for relaxing massages, body treatments, massages and spa rituals, where heat helps create a more enveloping experience. It can also provide more comfort in a cool cabin or during winter periods.

Frequently Asked Questions about professional massage tables
What is the difference between an electric massage table and a hydraulic table?
An electric massage table allows you to easily adjust its height using a control, notably a foot control depending on the models. The practitioner can thus adjust their working position without letting go of their equipment or interrupting the treatment. A wide height range also allows adaptation to treatments performed sitting or standing. A hydraulic table also offers height adjustment, but its mechanical system is generally less smooth to adjust during a treatment.
What width of massage table should you choose?
The width must ensure customer comfort while allowing the practitioner easy access to different areas of the body. A table around 70 to 75 cm generally represents a good compromise, while a wider table can provide more comfort during prolonged treatments. Our catalogue includes different dimensions depending on the models, notably tables of 75, 77 or 85 cm width. To choose according to your activity and morphology, consult our massage table dimension guide.
What is a heated massage table used for?
A heated massage table emits heat at the mattress level to improve the client's comfort during the treatment. This feature is especially appreciated during long sessions and treatments focused on relaxation, notably in institutes, spas and wellness centres. It also prevents the sensation of cold that may be felt when the client remains lying down and lightly covered for an extended period. Several heated tables are available in our catalogue.
What is the difference between a massage table and an aesthetic bed?
A massage table is mainly designed for massages, body treatments and care, with a surface allowing the practitioner to work easily around the client. The beauty bed is more intended for services carried out in a salon, such as facial treatments, hair removal or certain aesthetic care. It generally has an adjustable backrest allowing the client to be installed in a semi-reclined position. The choice therefore mainly depends on the services offered in your establishment.
Should you choose a folding massage table or a fixed table?
A fixed massage table is particularly suitable for institutes, spas and clinics where the equipment remains installed in the same room. Stable and robust, it is designed for regular use. For home services or events, a folding massage table is generally more appropriate: lighter, portable and quick to set up, it facilitates travel. Also discover our selection of folding massage tables for professionals.
How much does a professional massage table cost?
The price of a professional massage table depends on its design, adjustment system and equipment. In our catalogue, the models currently offered start at 135 € and can exceed 2 000 € for the most equipped electric and heated tables. A simple fixed table generally represents a more affordable investment, while the electric, heated or spa tables fall into higher ranges. The choice must therefore be adapted to your activity, frequency of use and desired features.
