If you use natural oils, or have issues with staining, try a new Laundry Soap, degreaser, Dawn or chalk to remove stains. Never dry sheets that have an oily residue on them, as this increases the risk of fires. Sheets should be laundered within 24 hours of use with a perfume-free detergent. It comes in 10 different colors and is easy to launder.Īnother option is a Simple Throw Blanket. I learned about using a bath sheet (not a bath towel, a bath sheet) as a blanket at one of my first spa courses. They add a nice weighted feeling for the client and are very easy to wash.įor blankets, I recommend the Gentility© Polar Fleece Massage Table Blanket. If they do not, try these Flannel Face Rest Covers (10 Pack) or these. Massage sheets typically also come with a fitted face cradle cover. If you want to secure a larger set of sheets or use a flat sheet on the bottom, I suggest Bed Bands. Twin sheets can be too big for your table and can give a sloppy appearance. If you have a bigger table or larger bolsters massage sheets sets may not fit your table. This is good except if you use extra bolsters, or have a larger than normal massage table.

Massage sheets tend to fit a table a little snugger than a twin fitted and give a very professional appearance. Massage Sheets vs Twin Bed Sets which is best? Massage Sheet Sets This may be a problem for clients that run warm during a session. It is very soft and tends to resist pilling, but does not breathe as well as cotton. When stores start thinking spring, hit the flannel sheet isle to pick up deals on sets of flannel sheets. If you need a basic set, try one of theses sets: Brushed flannel is usually softer than non-brushed flannel. Flannel sheets will not indicate a thread count, but may be classified by ounces or say if they are “brushed”. Most clients love flannel sheets, especially in the winter. My colleagues in the southern states where air conditioning is a year-round thing, also will get their fair use of flannel sheets.įlannel sheets have a tendency to pill, or ball up, because the are often made of cotton and synthetic fibers. Poly blends wrinkle the the least.Ĭotton/polyester blends do not wrinkle as much as 100 percent cotton sheets, but poly-cotton blends are more likely to make your client feel warmer on your table. They are also the most expensive options and rarely available in massage sets. Long-fiber cottons, such as Pima, Supima and Egyptian, are stronger fabrics and less likely to pill.
Here are a few helpful tips to consider as you shop for the best sheets for your table: Long fibers are best.
I have seen advertisements for “equivalent to 1200 thread count” and “Egyptian quality” sets. Thread counts do not mean what they used to and can be deceiving. Thin sheets will never give you positive reviews and pilling (little fuzz balls) will not create a comfortable feeling for the clients on your table. Sheets need to be durable and withstand more than the typical amount of washing. Your linen choices, and care, say a lot about you as a professional. They keep the client warm and help set up a very important physical boundary during a massage. Clients want to see and feel nice, clean massage sheets.
Your table presentation is one of the first things a client sees when they walk in the room.
