I have been a massage therapist for 27 years and am also a Trainer. When looking for a massage couch on e-bay.
- Check the returns policy of the company. I ordered a couch from Primeahead. It arrived damaged. The vinyl was riped and the zip broken. It looked like something heavy had been droped on it in transit. They would only offer a partial refund unless I paid the postage to send the couch back.
- Ring the company direct. It has been reported that anothr massage couch company has a false number on their contact details and is not contactable by phone.That they also are not replaceing goods damaged in transit.
- Has the couch got a guarantee? Does it meet safety requirements? If it does not and an accident happens to a client because of a faulty couch how will that effect your insurance?
- Mobile Therapists get real! If you are doing mobile work and want a long career get a really lite couch under 14Kg.
- Check the quality of the Vinyl. If you are mobile you stand a good chance of scarping the couch at some point so make sure the Vinyl is not going to rip easily.
- Go for good quality foam. If its poor quality it will be uncomfortable for your clients. Thickness in itself is not aquality guide.
