Hi,
The electric blanket I bought is shorter than the couch so the couch hole is not covered by it.
The blanket has tapes at the top, middle and bottom so they cross under the couch and don't show.
Of course there is also heating in the treatment room but when you the therapist are massaging, you can get very warm yourself depending on the type of massage you are giving. So it's more comfortable for the client to have underneath heating as well as warm air circulating. The warmth of the blanket also helps the client to relax more at the beginning.
As the weather has been so dreadful over the last few weeks the sheepskin electric blanket with 6 heat settings has been a godsend and very much appreciated by my clients. I usually turn it up full at the start of the day, before the clients arrive and then turn it down to a 3-4 setting as the day progresses. It has a safety cut out feature too - so it turns itself off after an hour on 4-6. Turning it on again just means reducing the settings to make sure the blanket is still warm.
I also use the couch for Usui Reiki sessions, where client's can become so relaxed that their body temperature drops, so it works to keep them comfortable too.
Hope this doesn't come across as an advertisment, but I am pleased with it.
in love and light,
joy and happiness,
with many blessings
and wishing much laughter too...
