If this is not possible, most dining tables are 30 inches high. With a person lying on the table you will be able to get an idea of whether the height is correct or you need a higher or lower couch. We normally make couches in widths between 24 and 30 inches. For clients the wider the couch the better, as they are comfortable with their arms well supported on the couch. On the other hand for the therapist couches can be too wide causing you to have to lean across.
Wider couches are also more awkward to carry and put in a car.
The majority of couches we produce are 26 or 28 inches wide. These are horseshoe shaped pieces of wood that slide into holes at the end of a couch when required. A Velour cushion and cover fix onto these with Velcro fixings. These are a useful accessory if you require the person to lie on their front and do not want their head to be turned to one side as in massage treatments. It is important that the support at the end of the couch is in place when the extension is used.
