Massage Table Sheets Linens & Covers - Massage Table Heating Pads & Towels

Plain chiropractic tables can be made more comfortable by adding an extra layer between the table and the covering sheet. This layer can be a soft fleece pad, a massage table heating pad, or a mix between the two, like this plush fleece massage table warmer.

Standard massage tables measure 28 by 73 inches, but their width can vary between 25 and 30 inches. While wider tables provide more comfort for clients of all shapes and sizes, they can pose a challenge to small-stature therapists. Designed to wrap around various massage table sizes and accommodate a 7-inch drop, fitted massage table sheets are usually 36 by 77 inches, while flat massage sheets used to cover client bodies are 63 by 100 inches.

Basic chiropractic exam tables can be covered with reusable massage table barriers and regular sheets for massage tables, while clients are to be draped with microfiber or cotton flat sheets. However, most chiropractic tables come in different shapes and sizes, with several portions that drop or tilt, which makes them difficult to cover with standard massage table linens and face rest covers. Instead, consider using exam table paper products — they protect the table from dirt, oils, and bodily fluids, while also keeping clients safe and comfortable.

Massage table sheets are usually made of microfiber, flannel, or a cotton-poly blend, and each of these materials has its advantages. Microfiber is lightweight and easy to care for — wrinkle-resistant and quick-drying — while also providing customers with extra comfort, especially if double-brushed. Equally soft and comfortable, flannel is 100% cotton, medium-weight, and fit for all seasons. The deluxe version of flannel massage table sheets is made of premium organic cotton. You can get the ideal balance of quality and affordability by opting for a 50/50 cotton-poly blend.

When heated, small 12" x 12" washcloths are useful on the face and joints, while 16" x 27" hand towels can target slightly larger body areas that need comforting heat. For extra absorbency, use thick and fluffy spa towels, with soft cotton terry loops. They can be as big as 35" x 70".

If you want to cover the crescent face rest of a massage table with a soft towel instead of disposable nurse caps or cotton cradle covers, you can fold towels into a U shape. To achieve this, take a hand towel and fold it three times lengthwise, then twice at 45 degrees to form the U, and position it around the face hole. Make sure the towel doesn't gather as this can make the client's face look wrinkled. If you consider keeping your spa towels neatly folded in a cabinet, note that rolling them will help you optimize space. Rolling instead of folding towels will also give your office a more professional spa look and feel, especially if displayed as a pyramid. Plus, rolled spa towels are ready for popping into a hot towel cabinet anytime you need them.

While you can protect the upholstery of your massage table with various table pads and covers, massage sheets come in contact with a lot of oils and lotions and require frequent and thorough laundering. To make this process easier and more affordable, you can opt for massage sheets made of microfiber. This polyester material is easier to clean than cotton, dries faster, and doesn't wrinkle. If you have massage table linens with tough stains and odors, soak them for 10-15 minutes in hot water and professional laundry detergent before washing them. Never put massage table sheets in the dryer until you make sure they are cleaned properly, as oil-based products can be combustible.
