Re: What makes a "commercial "bed? A commercial bed is (or should be) made to withstand heavier traffic. A residential bed only has to handle a few sessions a week. A commerical handles hundreds and more. Oftentimes the residential beds are harder to maintain. Ballasts are built into the bench or canopy rather than in a separate tray. Typically the components and strutural elements for commercial beds are much higher quality than residential. That said - I've seen some companies that have "commercial" beds I wouldn't touch for a salon! |
