Heavy duty esthetician chair

Comfort and relaxation are key to an unforgettable facial and massage experience. Esthetician chairs make or break the spa and massage experience at home or in a spa and wellness center.

Esthetician chairs are ergonomic, comfortable, and convenient to perform procedures and treatments. A professional can easily adjust the bed’s settings and maneuver you around to get to the right spots for a rewarding session.

Unfortunately, most larger adults have bad experiences with esthetician chairs. But this is because they’ve dealt with regular salon chairs. As an overweight adult, your best bet for enjoying the spa and massage experience is choosing a heavy-duty salon chair for your home spa.

I’ve tried several options and done in-depth research to compile a list of the best esthetician chair for overweight adults on the market. The SKINACT All-Electric Solid Opal Electric Massage Table is the winner.

The portable facial bed has a sleek design with curved edges that add to its beauty. Underneath the beauty is four motors that adjust the height from 20 inches to 35 inches, the backrest, and footrest, and tilt the chair forwards and backward. The hydraulic motors are quiet and smooth.

The headrest has a breather hold and is well cushioned to ensure your comfort. The upholstery is done with PVC vinyl material that’s easy to clean. To complete its sleek look, the wheels are hidden under the base. But on the side is a foot pedal to lock the wheels during treatment.

Pros

Facial Beauty Bed Medical Aesthetic Tattoo Procedure Bed With 2 Motor Adjustments

This DIR Facial Beauty Bed Medical Aesthetic Tattoo Chair is one of the most comfortable heavy-duty esthetician chairs on the list. Under the faux leather upholstery is an HD memory foam designed to offer extra comfort when getting therapeutic massage.

The framework is carved from steel with a 400 lb weight limit making it ideal for obese adults.

The adjustments are made through pedals, so you don’t have to touch anything on the treatment table during the body treatments. The leg rests, and armrests are manually adjusted.

The chair’s single leg construction means there is a lot of space around the chair to get closer to their client for comfortable operation.

Pros

• Heavy-duty construction

The bed height ranges between 22.83 inches and 34.64 inches, making it easier for short adults to climb.

And the best heavy duty esthetician chair is…

Heavy-duty salon chair buying guide

Before you fork out your hard-earned money on an esthetician chair, consider the following factors.

Function

If your treatments will be done on a chair and a bed, then choosing an adjustable esthetician bed is best. This way, you don’t have to purchase multiple pieces of furniture to get the job done. The SKINACT All-Electric Solid Opal Electric Massage Table is a chair that transforms into a bed.

Size

The space available determines the size. The esthetician chair should fit in your treatment room and leave sufficient room for a practitioner to move around to deliver excellent service. The SKINACT All-Electric Solid Opal Electric Massage Table has motors that adjust the height, backrest, tilt, and footrest for the clients’ comfort and practitioners’ convenience.

Comfort

The esthetician chair’s comfort level depends on the adjustability and material of the mattress. Most chairs are made with foam. Foam quality depends on the density and not so much on its thickness. The denser the foam, the more durable and comfortable it is. 2 inches of HD foam offers decent comfort. The SKINACT All-Electric Solid Opal Electric Massage Table is made from thick HD foam that delivers ample comfort.

Weight limit

For heavy adults, you need a heavy-duty salon chair to support their weight. Weight limits above 350 lbs, like with the SKINACT All-Electric Solid Opal Electric Massage Table and the Monet 4 Motor Electric Facial Chair, are good enough for overweight adults.

How do you clean a massage bed?

Using heavy and harsh cleaning agents on your massage bed will harden the upholstery and cause wrinkling and cracking. Instead, wash your massage bed with mild soap and warm water, wipe it with soap-free warm water and pat it dry with dry towels.
