How to Choose Your Beauty Couch

Updated: 25 September 2023

Regardless of the size of your salon or beauty room, a salon bed is one of the most essential pieces of salon furniture you will purchase. Your salon bed or beauty couch must look good and be flexible, easy to use and comfortable for your clients. 

Choosing the right salon beds or beauty couches can make all the difference to ensure your treatment room is used to its full potential. With most salons and spas now offering a wide range of treatments, ensuring the couch is sturdy and comfortable enough for massage, beauty and body treatments is vital. 

Carefully selecting the best salon bed can save you money by not purchasing separate massage and beauty couches. You want to ensure that when serving as a beauty couch, you can change positions and heights for facial treatments, lashes, waxing and other beauty treatments you offer. 

What to Look For in a Salon Bed or Beauty Couch

The design of your salon bed or beauty couch must ensure client comfort and offer the therapist a safe and comfortable working environment.

You offer a professional service, and your salon equipment investment should reflect this. Quality and comfort are paramount. If the couch your client is lying on for an hour (or more) is uncomfortable, they will likely not return for further treatments or recommend you to their friends and family.

Salon Beds: Finding the Complete “All-Rounder”

Good quality upholstery and sufficient layered foam cushioning are critical when choosing new salon beds. Another thing to look out for is the accessories included with the salon bed. You must consider what add-on accessories are important to you and your salon, such as a massage face hole, a plug-in pillow, armrests or a couch roll holder.

Finally, you need to ensure that the salon bed is suitable for the treatments you offer. Does it need to be easy to adjust in height or have a reclining back?
