Question 2
What
Choice of Portable Couches are available to meet my
requirements?
Our Experts Answer...
The
Beautelle Range of Portable Couches
features a total of ten different models. Each of
these models can be made in a choice of height, width and foam
specifications giving over 100+ variations for you to choose
from with an extensive upholstery
choice of vinyl colours.
Available on selected models are useful couch
attachments e.g. face cradles
and arm supports, which are most effective 'tools' to offer
enhanced support for the client and allow for a more effective
treatment. Certain models feature
shaped end sections to enable
knee access, an important consideration for any seated
therapist.

Question 3
How Comfortable will the couch be for my client?
Our Experts Answer...
You need to establish that the couch has the correct
padding
(thickness),
firmness
(density) and is the correct width and length.
An adjustable backrest support and perhaps a specialist knee or
foot lift will help maximise your client’s comfort during a
treatment. These criteria depend very much on both your
clientele and the treatment/s you are practising. |

Question 4
How can I tell the Quality of a Couch ?
Our Experts Answer...
To gauge the quality of any couch our advice is to ask the
simple question “What working weight will the couch take?” A
couch constructed from good quality materials should have a load
bearing ability of between 24-30 stone (159-190.5 kilo) &
sustain heavy weights combined with pressure to enable it to be
both stable and durable, even at higher height settings, all
Beautelle couches are built to withstand professional heavy
usage.
Many Portable Couch models may look very similar on the surface,
but this does not reflect the actual
quality of the
materials used
in their construction, which can vary tremendously. Key areas to
look at which have an effect on the optimum load bearing are the
thickness of the aluminium used and the grading of the under
board. In addition tensor cable support systems can provide
extraordinary strength and stability to a portable couch.
The quality of the
foam padding and upholstery covering will also help determine
the overall quality.

Question 9
How much budget should I allow to buy a couch?
Our
Experts Answer...
Spending a
little more on a safe, well-constructed couch, with all the
features to make your work easier, may be more economic in the
long run. Buying cheaper couches may prove to be false economy,
as such items become shabby quite quickly and may not be
sufficiently robust to withstand day-to-day usage. Many mobile
therapists at the start of their careers should budget for the
best they can possibly afford to act as an investment and offer
piece of mind. Remember your equipment has a direct bearing on
your client’s treatment and happy customers mean repeat
business... don't compromise on the things that can make a
difference to you and your business. |
