Hi
I am new on the forum and would be very grateful for any replies. Having recently completed Reiki I and II, I am looking to buy a portable therapy bed but am completely baffled by the choice of widths available. Does anyone have any thoughts or comments on whether a 24" width would be perfectly adequate for Reiki treatments for most people or would a 26" width or more be a better option. Please help!!
Thanks
Sandra



People come in all different shapes and sizes, so bearing this in mind a 26 inch couch will give much more flexibility and allow larger clients to feel a lot more comfortable. 26 inch would always then be my personal preference.

Thanks for the reply June. That's kinda what I was thinking, about whether a larger client would be more comfortable on a wider bed. The only drawback would be that a wider portable bed would be heavier but I have seen a wider bed online that has wheels on the bottom of the case which would be handy especially as I don't have a car.

I must say that i am not a big person, being 5'3" and under 8stone...even so i prefer the wider couches..niot nice to feel perched.
I went to a salon once where the couches were really quite narrow..admittedly i was in no danger of falling off it, but my own couch is much wider and one feels much more comfy on there. So i can imagine that for someone a bit bigger than me, a small and narrow couch would be horid.

I think my bed is 24 inch wide but i also bought arm rests as I find that no one person is able to lie on their back without their arms falling off the side - hence the rests which gives that extra space and support

Thanks. This has given me something to go on. I just couldn't make my mind up and was scared of making an expensive mistake.
