70/71 cm Massage Tables – FAQs
Answers about 70 cm massage tables, 71 cm massage couches, standard-width treatment tables, mobile work and choosing between narrow, standard and wider couch widths.
Is 70 cm a standard massage table width?
Yes. Around 70–71 cm is a common standard width for professional massage tables because it gives a practical balance between client comfort and therapist reach.
Is 70/71 cm wide enough for professional massage?
For many therapists and treatment types, yes. It is usually wide enough for general client comfort while still allowing the therapist to work close to the client without excessive overreaching.
Is 70/71 cm better than a narrow 55–65 cm table?
Usually it is the better all-round choice. A 55–65 cm table is more compact and access-focused, while 70–71 cm normally offers better general client comfort.
Should mobile therapists choose 70/71 cm?
Many mobile therapists choose this width because it balances comfort and practicality. However, total carry weight, folded size and setup speed should also be checked.
When should I choose a wider table than 70/71 cm?
Choose a wider table if client comfort, larger body sizes, spa-style treatments or a fixed clinic/studio setup matter more than compact transport and close therapist access.
What should I check before buying a 70/71 cm massage table?
Check actual width, carry weight, folded size, frame stability, working load, upholstery, padding, warranty and whether the table suits your mobile or room-based treatment setup.
