Table or floor mat?
Both work – the right choice depends on your training, your clients and your room.
On a massage table
Thai and shiatsu techniques at a comfortable working height.
On a floor mat or futon
The traditional set-up for Thai massage and shiatsu.
What makes a good Thai or shiatsu massage table?
Six points that matter when you stretch, lean and work with your body weight on the table.
Width
Thai stretches and positioning need space – 76 cm (30") or wider is a common choice. Our size table compares widths.
Lowest height
A low setting lets you lean in and use your body weight. Check the lowest height against your own height.
Working load
Body-weight techniques put more load on the table – check the dynamic working load stated by the manufacturer.
Frame and stability
A solid frame and secure leg locks keep the table steady during stretches and rocking movements.
Padding
Firm, even padding supports pressure and stretches better than very soft foam.
Positioning aids
Bolsters and face cradle cushions help with side-lying and face-down positions.

Clear answers on width, height, strength and table versus mat.
What is a Thai massage table?
A wide, stable massage table that lets you use Thai massage techniques at a comfortable working height. Width, a low height setting and a high working load matter more than on a standard massage table.
Can you do Thai massage on a massage table?
Yes. Many therapists adapt Thai massage to a table – often called Thai table massage. Choose a wide, stable table with a low height setting, and adapt floor techniques that rely on kneeling over the client.
What is a shiatsu massage table?
A low, stable massage table for shiatsu pressure techniques. It suits clients who find it hard to get down to a floor mat and therapists who prefer to work standing.
Is shiatsu done on a table or a futon?
Traditionally on a futon or mat on the floor. Many therapists also give shiatsu on a low, stable massage table – especially for clients who cannot easily lie down on the floor, or in clinics without floor space.
What width is best for Thai massage?
76 cm (30") or wider gives room for stretches and limb positioning. Wider tables need more reach, so compare widths in our massage table size table.
What height should a Thai or shiatsu massage table be?
Lower than for most massage: a low setting lets you lean in and work with your body weight. Check the lowest height on each product page against your own height.
How strong does a Thai massage table need to be?
Strong enough for body-weight techniques and dynamic movements – compare the working load stated by the manufacturer. For very strong pressure, look at our heavy-duty massage tables.
Which tables in your range suit shiatsu?
For example the Earthlite Spirit, available in 71, 76 and 81 cm widths – the wider versions give more room for Thai and shiatsu techniques. All suitable tables are shown above.
Are prices shown with VAT and is delivery free?
Yes. All prices include VAT, and standard delivery to Mainland UK is free – including the Scottish Highlands and islands connected by a road bridge, such as Anglesey and the Isle of Skye. Product-specific details are shown on each product page and in our delivery information.
