Spa sheets by spa threads

If you are a massage therapist, solo esthetician, or spa owner, you know how important it is to create a welcoming and totally comfortable environment for your clients. One of the most important parts? The treatment bed is set up. High-quality massage table sheets and massage table bedding are essential to creating high customer satisfaction.


In this blog, I will walk you through what makes a great massage sheet, the differences between massage bed sheets, and why spa threads are a perfect addition to your spa treatment room.


What Makes a Great Massage Sheet?

When first deciding on what is most important in finding a great spa sheet, comfort should be a priority. Your clients want soft, silky, and dreamy fabrics that help them feel at home during their treatment. Also, a proper fit is essential, too. You don’t want massage table bedding that fails to cover and creates pockets of airflow that take warmth away from your client. You also don’t want them to overheat with thick fabrics, either.


Types of Massage Sheets:

Fitted sheets - This is the first layer of sheets that fit snug around your massage table bed. They typically can fit many different-sized tables, and the elastic band helps to keep all the extra padding and knee covers in place! 


Flat sheets - This is the top layer that typically drapes over your client before the added blankets on top. You want to make sure this sheet is big enough for each client without causing discomfort, but also not too big that it becomes difficult to work around during your massage services. Some spa professionals opt to only use flat sheets as the base layer instead of fitted sheets!


Face Cradle Cover - These are used for when your client is lying face down for a massage or body treatment service. It allows them to breathe and relax easily without having to crook their neck or shoulders in awkward positions.


Sheet sets - These typically come with a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and a face cradle cover. 


Choosing the Right Material

Look for sheets that are machine washable and can handle commercial washing as well. Fabrics that can be bleached to be disinfected without fading are also important! Some state laws require bleach to be used for every wash. We have more important things to do every day than worry about complicated laundry needs.


Types of Fabric for Massage Sheets:

Flannel - This is going to be a thicker fabric, better for cold rooms or cold climates. They tend to only be made in fewer colors, and without proper care, they are prone to shrinking.


Microfiber - This is going to be the silkiest, lightweight, and most durable. They won’t shrink and are naturally stain-resistant. They are quick to wash and dry, and they can come in a variety of colors and prints!


Cotton - This fabric will be the most natural fiber and most breathable. They are soft, but without proper care, their durability may not be as long-lasting. They are more prone to stains and shrinkage.


Each type has its pros and cons depending on your preferences and treatment environment.
