Verywell Fit Massage is a vital part of a good workout routine, Jeffrey Dreon, a licensed massage therapist, says. Moving the fascia—the layer of connective tissue underneath the skin—is beneficial for relieving trigger points, loosening tight muscles, and milking out lactic acid to help with soreness, he says.

Licensed massage therapist Dawn Lovell adds that the benefits of massage therapy don’t end there: “It can improve your overall mood, stimulates circulation and recovery after injuries or workouts, helps with digestive issues, and even aids those suffering from PTSD or other mental health issues.” Having a good massage table is a key component of the overall experience.

Our on-site therapists said that this was a feature they hadn’t seen before but was very handy in avoiding any unwanted wobbling. The safety bars are a great addition to the table, but they did add time to the setup.

But both tester and therapist agreed that the table was difficult to set up, stiff, and overall low quality. Saloniture’s Portable Massage Table was another budget-friendly option, but our tester thought it wasn’t strong or durable enough to withstand hard pressure. However, for the low price point, the tester liked that it was intuitive to set up and comfortable throughout his massage. Although our tester liked its ease of setup and height adjustability, Uenjoy’s Folding Massage Table was narrow and unstable, making it unsuitable for many body types. The headrest came loose twice during the massage, which added to our tester's lack of comfort and confidence in the table.

How We Tested the Best Massage Tables To curate our list of the best massage tables on the market, our expert testers tested 13 highly rated massage tables in The Verywell Testing Lab. On site were three licensed massage therapists, Jeffrey Dreon, Dawn Lovell, and Betty Hastie, who administered 15-minute massages and provided additional expert insights. Each tester unboxed and assembled their assigned table. A massage therapist then set up the table, and testers got onto the table to receive their massages.

It’s essential that your massage table is easily accessible, whether for personal or business use. A massage is meant to relax and restore, and you don’t want a complicated setup and disassembly to interrupt that. Our testers were asked to time the entire setup process, noting if the table required extra assembly, if the legs easily slotted into place, and if the massage table was ready to be used immediately. Then the massage therapist finished preparing the table for the massage by cleaning it, laying down a sheet, and adjusting the height to their preference.

Setup br Both setup and clean up are really important, especially during home or office visits, Dreon says. Make sure you choose a table that can be easily assembled and has all of the necessary equipment (like the headrest, wipes, and sheets) on hand and ready to go.

“Most tables are used for personal massage, esthetic, sports, or chiropractic and osteoarthritis usage,” says Beret Loncar, licensed massage therapist and owner of Body Mechanics Orthopedic Massage in New York City. She explains that some of the most popular types are hydraulic tables (which go up and down in height), pregnancy tables (modified with holes for the belly and breasts), inclining tables for esthetics or pregnancy usage, and stationary tables with storage. Additionally, there are heavy folding tables that can be easily stored but hard to move, and travel tables that are lightweight. Lumbar Support Typically, people seeking out a massage have lumbar strain in the lower part of their spinal cord—meaning a table’s lumbar support is essential.

Loncar says it’s especially important for patients experiencing back pain and that supporting the lower back can be helpful for people who find it hard to lay flat. Materials “Generally, tables are made with aluminum, wood, high-density foam, and vinyl,” explains Loncar.

However, she notes that with a variety of tables on the market, you can find ones made with a combination of different materials and that many massage tables are customizable. While the frame of the table needs to be sturdy, the top needs to be as comfortable as possible so that people won’t experience more strain when getting a massage. Loncar notes that the type of vinyl and the foam are where quality really comes into play. “Cheaper tables will have lower quality vinyl and less padding, but for occasional usage that may be fine,” she says. “For daily usage, you probably want to invest in something that will wear a little better—keeping from compression and cracking.”
Adjustments If you can adjust the height of the table, people can easily get on and off.

Massage tables come with a height range that the masseuse can manually adjust, depending upon the client and their own preference for working at the right angle. Some higher-end models are electric, which allows for even greater ease with making adjustments, and most tables have a face cradle that can be positioned at different angles for maximum comfort.

Lastly, having a bed that folds will allow different styles of treatment and angles for both the customer and the masseuse. Size Most massage tables range in size from around 24 inches to about 34 inches in height. Length-wise, you’ll find that most massage tables start around 73 inches, however, some can extend to over 80 inches, which is great for taller clients.

The size of the table is important for storage, portability, and use. If you’re planning on bringing it along for your practice, one that can be folded may be a good choice. If you’re dealing with a wide range of clients with a variety of needs, a longer one with ample room for adjustment will ensure you can accommodate everyone.

Portability While stationary tables are often more durable and stable, portable tables can still offer a great experience with added benefits. Determine whether your table will remain in one place for a long period of time or if you'll need to move it frequently. If portability is a factor, a foldable table may be a good choice.
