Oh, Ecosoft recycled massage table cover how I love thee. When I needed a new cover for my massage table, you gave me one of the more satisfying purchase experiences I’ve had since, well… ever! The product I’m reviewing is the Ecosoft Massage Table Cover. This product is made of recycled plastic bottles for the polyester fibers. Made from recycled fibers?! (Insert warm fuzzy feeling here). This table cover fits just right, and is more comfortable than I would have expected a table cover to be. Let’s take a look at the fit of the table cover, the cost and and cons it, and weather or not this product would be recommended.
The Fit
The table cover comes with the typical four point elastic strapping system. However, unlike some straps, these are thick and placed 3-4 inches from the corner, which make for a more secure fit. The straps themselves are at least 1.25” thick and don’t twist or bunch after using. When I placed the table cover over my table warmer, there was no sense of the fit being too tight, or too loose. Some table covers have a tendency to come undone at the corners if the straps are not sewed at the right areas, however, the designers of the Ecosoft seem to have gotten it right!
When put on the table, the cover comes over the edges by about .5” all around. This makes for a most comfortable experience when draping arms prone at a 90-degree angle. You cannot feel the vinyl of the table anywhere along the edges when lying on the table. This includes laying arms forward over the top of the table (next to the head). Conveniently, this also seems to extend the table by even the smallest amount in width, which is more comfortable for both client and therapist.
The Cost
The Ecosoft was $79.99 without tax and didn’t include the face rest cover. Based on the options from Massage Warehouse, this was the only massage table cover that didn’t come with the other accessories like table warmer, fleece blanket, sheet set and laundry detergent. There are many sets for around the $50-$70 range that will get you many more bundled products. However, on Dreamsoftbedware.com, the Ecosoft fell into the least expensive category when compared to other options in the $170.00 range which for me, made it the right choice.
Vendor
Massage Warehouse had my product there within 5 business days. Of course the box was too large and was mostly air bubbles, (why can’t we use a box that is the size of the product?!) but that aside, the experience from purchasing from Massage Warehouse was A-. I only say A- because I would have liked more options and a smaller box.
Recommendable
This product is absolutely recommended for the professional wishing to add a little something extra to the massage table or for somebody looking to create a custom table set-up without buying in bundles.
The Cons
The only con may be that it is too comfortable. Yes, this may not be ideal for some. The cover is so very plush its possible that a therapeutic, or sports therapist may find it too ‘soft’ and feel that it is not providing enough support for active treatment work. However, I’d highly recommend trying it out first before making such an assumption. Therapeutic and treatment work need not be done at the expense of your client’s comfort.
