6 advantages of microfibre sheets for professional massages
As a well-being masseur , you have to think of everything. Especially when it comes to the comfort of your clients!
The height of the massage table, theangle of the backrest… And, of course, the soft texture of the sheet covering your massage table.
And if you’re not sure which material to choose for your massage table cover, Nandara has a tip for you: go for microfibre!
Discover all the benefits of this texture for your massage table sheets.
What are microfibre sheets?
Microfibre is an innovative textile material made up of ultra-fine fibres, up to 100 times finer than a human hair.
They are generally made from a blend of polyester and polyamide, which gives the fabric an extremely soft, almost velvety feel.
For those being massaged, it means a light, warm, enveloping caress that encourages total immersion during the well-being massage.
This fabric is also characterised by its density and suppleness. It moulds perfectly to the shape of the massage table without making unsightly creases.
No rough or slippery feel like you get with some poor quality cotton sheets or cheap synthetic fabrics.
Microfibre sheets are the perfect combination of comfort, hygiene and durability. A real treat for masseurs and masseuses looking for softness for their massage accessories!
6 advantages of microfibre sheets for your massage table
But in concrete terms, what are the advantages of microfibre sheets over other materials for your massage table cover?
Nandara presents 6 of them.
1 – Unrivalled comfort for your customers
During a massage session, comfort is king. And it all starts the moment you lie down. The microfibre sheets provide an immediate sensation of softness and warmth.
Unlike conventional cotton sheets, which can feel cold on contact, especially in winter, microfibre sheets retain body heat better, creating a real bubble of comfort.
For a Californian massage, lymphatic drainage or a relaxing massage with essential oils, this little detail makes all the difference.
The person being massaged feels enveloped, soothed and ready to let go. And you, as the practitioner, know that this is a win-win situation: a relaxed client means a more effective treatment.
2 – Excellent durability for microfibre sheets
In a beauty salon or spa, sheets are in daily use. They are washed, rewashed, folded, pulled, stretched… A basic cotton massage sheet quickly becomes fluffy, misshapen or even riddled with holes. The microfibre sheet, on the other hand, has been designed to last. It retains its shape, softness and elasticity even after repeated high-temperature washing.
It’s a smart investment for professionals who want longevity without compromising on quality. Less replacement, less waste, more profitability.
And that, in the long term, makes all the difference to the management of an institute or spa.
3 – Impeccable hygiene in your massage room
On a more mundane level, hygiene is a fundamental pillar of the massage world. And microfibre excels in this area.
Thanks to its ultra-tight structure, it prevents the penetration of dust particles, bacteria and even certain allergens. It’s a naturally antibacterial material that can be washed easily at high temperatures without losing its qualities.
It’s also non-absorbent, which is a real plus: the massage oil doesn’t penetrate the fibres as it often does with cotton. The result? Microfibre sheets stay cleaner, longer, and are easier to care for. Just put them in the washing machine, dry them quickly and they’re ready to use!
4 – Ultra-fast drying after washing
When you’re treating yourself all day long, you can’t afford to wait hours for your clothes to dry. And that’s where microfibre works wonders. The fabric dries in record time, which is an invaluable asset for institutes, hotel spas or wellness centres running at full speed.
No need to overload your stock of sheets to compensate for long drying times. You save time, space and peace of mind in your day-to-day organisation. Whether you’re self-employed or running a centre, this kind of detail can transform your logistics.
5 – A design that can be adapted to suit every taste
Thanks to its natural elasticity, the microfibre sheet moulds perfectly to the shape of the table. It doesn’t slip, crease or stretch out of control. Visually, it’s clean, professional and reassuring for the customer.
What’s more, microfibre allows for a wide variety of colours that last over time.
No more sheets that fade or lose their shine after a few washes. This way, you can harmonise your cabin with your treatment world, your rituals and your seasons.
6 – The right touch for treatments with or without oil
Finally, you should be aware that some materials react badly to oil. They become sticky, heavy and unpleasant to the touch.
But as you’d expect, that’s not the case with microfibre sheets. Their surface remains pleasant even in the presence of oils or balms. Whether you’re giving a Swedish massage or an Ayurvedic massage with hot oil, the microfibre sheet stays in place, doesn’t stain easily, and doesn’t interfere with your movements in any way.
How do you recognise a quality microfibre sheet?
You’ll soon realise that not all microfibre sheets are created equal.
And believe us, at Nandara we know what we’re talking about!
A good microfibre massage table sheet should have sufficient density to resist stress, without being too thick to remain supple. The quality of the seams is also an important indicator: they should be strong, discreet and even.
A quality fabric won’t lint or fray in the first wash, and will retain its uniform appearance.
The feel is also a good indicator: it should be soft, but not slippery .
And of course, beware of microfibres that are too shiny, too fine or look like cheap synthetic fabric.
How do you care for your microfibre massage sheets?
If you choose to invest in a microfibre sheet, you should know that maintenance is simple, but a few good practices will help to extend the life of your microfibre sheets.
Wash at 40 or 60 degrees, without fabric softener (which clogs the fibres and reduces their breathability).
Use a mild detergent and avoid bleaching agents . Tumble-drying is possible, but air-drying is ideal to preserve the softness and elasticity of the fabric.
No need to iron: sheets return to their natural shape.
And above all, don’t mix them with fabrics that fluff up, such as terry towels: this could alter the soft, even surface of your sheets.
