TREATMENT AND RELAXATION BEDS PART TWO
2011 ARRIVAL T-MUD, Technodesign
The bed: The prototype of Technodesign’s t-MUD bed was revealed at the Cosmoprof trade show in Bologna, Italy, in March and is now ready for distribution to high-end spas worldwide. The dry-fl oatation and massage bed has been created for mud treatments or wraps that can reduce the appearance of cellulite and help with general aches and pains. The aim is to turn these traditional curative treatments, where people typically step into a whole bath of mud, into a more pleasant pampering experience but with the same benefi ts. What makes it stand out? With a layer of mud on their skin, customers lie on the t-MUD table which features a mattress with an internal water circulation
system. They gradually sink into, and are supported, by the water which is heated to a constant temperature throughout the treatment. The warmth means that the mud does not dry on the skin; and is also said to help improve the penetration of the mud’s active ingredients and therapeutic oligoelements. The LUX version of the t-MUD incorporates a water massage system for the sole of the foot. Other key features: No blankets are needed for t-MUD treatments and the bed is easy to clean. Operators will also appreciate the fact there is less mud to supply and waste compared to traditional mud treatments. In addition, the bed can be installed without modifying an existing treatment room because it doesn’t require fi lling or drainage.

2011 ARRIVAL The Confortium, Lemi Group
SHOWCASE
Stone Treatment Bed, Healing Company
The bed: Japan’s Healing Company launched its stone treatment table in 2009 and even since it’s received positive feedback from the owners of ryokans – traditional Japanese inns with onsens – hotel spas and day spas across the country. What makes it stand out? Mildly heated stones form the surface of the table to warm a guest’s body and encourage relaxation. The bio-positive stones are also said to produce negative ions and low-
level radiation with various health effects. The overall message is that it “uses nature to create an authentic healing experience”.

The bed: Launched in early 2011, this eco- friendly bed has been made from sustainable materials that combine design, comfort, technology and high-quality with a respect for the environment. The multi-functional unit, with optional armrests and headrest, can be used for facials and body treatments. What makes it stand out? The wood used to make the Confortium has been certifi ed as eco-friendly by the Forest Stewardship Council, while the upholstery is also said to be eco-compatible. Made in Italy, the bed has beautiful design elements including a hand-made, comfortable mattress with elegant and refi ned double stitching to enhance its strength and durability. There’s also a high level of customisation: the upholstery is available in 50 colours; and the base also comes in a choice of natural, wengé (dark) or bleached wood. To help create a relaxing atmosphere, there are LED strips around the bed – the colour of which can be changed by the therapist according to the customer’s mood or type of treatment. An built-in iPod music system is an optional extra. Other key features: Practical advantages of the Confortium include a mattress that’s easy to clean and a compartment for housing a hot towel cabi as well as other accessories to ensure everything needed for treatments is close to hand. The minimum height of the bed is 67cm, but the height can be adjusted thanks to three electric motors (controlled by a foot pedal) to allow the customer to get on or off the bed with ease.
