When somebody decides they’re going to eschew all their obligations and take a personal day to relax, one of the most popular methods is taking in a spa day. And one of the most relaxing parts of the spa experience is getting a massage. But besides the actual talent of the masseuse, what makes these so relaxing?
The answer lies in the comfort products a masseuse uses to put you at ease. Their goal is to create a suspended experience where the only things you’re aware of are your muscles and joints being worked and calmed.
A basic massage table’s most important feature is its comfort layer, which needs to be a balance of support to hold a body in alignment, along with softness that allows an individual to spend an extended period of time in the same position while being worked on. Some high-end tables are built with this balance, while other tables can receive the addition of a comfort layer to soften harder surfaces.
Pillows are the other important factor in massage comfort, and that has fostered the creation of one of the most unique pillows on the market. The iconic massage pillow features a center cutout that allows people to rest on their stomachs without twisting and turning their necks, as well as making it easy to breathe. Without these comfort products, something as simple as a massage wouldn’t be nearly as effective.
