What should I look for when choosing a portable massage table?
  • Weight to carry: important if you do home visits or move the table often.
  • Width: wider is roomier for clients, narrower is lighter and easier to reach across.
  • Height range: make sure it suits your height and the work you do.
  • Weight rating: allow for your client plus the pressure you apply.
  • Foam thickness: our tables range from 40mm to 65mm.
  • Extras: a liftback for seated treatments, Reiki end panels for knee room, or pregnancy recesses.

Our portable tables come with a carry bag, so you are ready to go from day one.

Should I choose an aluminium or wooden portable massage table?

Both are built for daily professional use and carry a 5-year structural warranty. The main differences are weight and price.

  • Aluminium tables are the lightest we sell, from 13.5kg, with push-button telescopic legs that make height changes quick. A good fit if you do home visits or carry your table often.
  • Most wooden tables weigh around 17–18.5kg, use double soft-touch knobs to set the height, and start from a lower price. A good fit if your table mostly stays in one room.
How heavy are your portable massage tables?
  • PAL1 S28 aluminium: 13.5kg
  • PAL1 S30 aluminium: 14.5kg
  • PAR1 S30 aluminium liftback: 16kg
  • Affinity aluminium: 16kg
  • Phoenix pregnancy table: 16.5kg
  • Orion and ETF 55 / ETL 60 wooden tables: about 17kg
  • Orion II Delux and Pro-Liftback: 18.5kg

Each comes with a carry bag with handles and a shoulder strap.

What width massage table do I need?

Our portable tables come in widths from 700mm to 800mm.

  • 700–710mm is lighter, easier to carry and suits smaller rooms.
  • 750mm gives clients more room for their arms and suits larger clients.
  • 800mm (Orion II Delux) is our widest portable option.

Shorter therapists often prefer a narrower table so they can reach across without straining. Most portable tables are 1840–1950mm long.

What height should my massage table be?

Our portable tables adjust within about 590–860mm, depending on the model. A common starting point is to stand beside the table with your arms relaxed and set the top at around knuckle height, then go lower for deep tissue work or higher for lighter techniques.

What is a liftback table and who needs one?

A liftback has a backrest that lifts so your client can sit up partly or fully. It is useful for facials, waxing, reflexology, beauty treatments and clients who are uncomfortable lying flat. With the back down it works as a normal massage table.

Our liftback options are the PAR1 S30 aluminium liftback, the Pro-Liftback and the ETL 60 liftback.

How much weight can the tables hold?

Our portable tables are rated to between 204kg and 250kg depending on the model. That rating needs to cover your client's weight plus the downward pressure you apply during treatment, so if you do deep tissue work or see larger clients, choose a higher rating. Each product page lists the rating for that table.

Do you have a portable pregnancy massage table?

Yes. The Phoenix Pregnancy Massage Table has breast and tummy recesses with plugs, plus a sling for prenatal work. Insert all the plugs and it becomes a standard flat table.

What comes with a portable massage table?

Our portable table packages include a carry bag, an adjustable face cradle and an arm rest or arm sling. Most also have a face hole with a plug. Check each product page for the exact package.

How can I make my portable table more comfortable for clients?

Layering helps: a fleece or soft cover over the vinyl, then fitted sheets, and a bolster under the knees or ankles to take pressure off the lower back. Warm towels from a towel cabinet also go a long way. See our massage table accessories for face cradles, covers and more.

What warranty do your massage tables have?

Our portable massage tables come with a 5-year structural warranty. The details for each table are on its product page. If you have a question about your table, call us on 0800 228 767.
