How to choose the right facial bed: 5 practical tips for the perfect match
A facial bed is not a purchase for the moment. It is an investment you want to work with for years. Day in, day out, you need to be able to rely on its quality. Understandable, then, that you want to make the right choice straight away. But where do you begin, with all those models and possibilities? At Bellezi, we understand you could use some help making that choice. These five tips help you make the right decision. Step by step, without doubt.
1. Start with your treatments
The most important question stands apart from the bed itself. The key question is above all: what will you use it for? If you mainly perform facial treatments, you work differently than a foot-care specialist. Your treatments determine which adjustment options you need. So always start with your work, not with the model.
Take the Silk Evo S3 Podo and the Silk Evo S4. They resemble one another, but the difference lies in the leg sections. The Podo has two manually adjustable leg sections with removable foot parts, ideal for pedicure. The S4 works with an electrically adjustable leg section and is better suited to general treatments, such as facial treatments or the work of a cosmetic doctor.
2. Take your space into account
A facial bed has to fit the space you have. Do you work in a compact room? Then a slim model with a vertical lift system is ideal. The Silk Evo S4 has an aluminium column and therefore takes up hardly any floor space. It also creates extra room for your knees and feet when you sit behind the headrest, pleasant during facial treatments.
The Figo S4 uses a lever column. As it adjusts, the backrest moves further backwards, which requires more space around the bed. Which one fits your space best? In this blog we compare the Silk and the Figo on every point. Our tip: measure your space before you choose, and consider the room to move you need around it to work comfortably.
3. Consider your own posture
Your client lies comfortably, but what about you? An incorrect working height can, over time, lead to back, neck and shoulder complaints. Electric height adjustment lets you quickly set the right position (such as the Zero Gravity position), and with a tilt function you work closer without straining your back. Good ergonomics are not a luxury. They are what allow you to keep doing your work with pleasure for years.
That is why you should pay attention to the entry and working heights of a model. They determine how comfortably both you and your client sit:
- Silk Evo S4: entry height 57 cm, maximum working height 97 cm. The low entry is pleasant for elderly, smaller or less mobile clients.
- Figo S4: entry height 69 cm, maximum working height 91 cm. Suitable if you often treat while standing.

4. Focus on your client's comfort
Comfort is what your client remembers and what brings them back. A good mattress makes the difference here. Every Bellezi facial bed comes standard with the Cloud 9 Super Soft Mattress and is fitted with the Intelligent Heating System. That gentle warmth relaxes the muscles and lifts every treatment to a higher level. That way you offer not just a treatment; your client goes home completely at ease.
5. Look beyond the purchase
A facial bed is a long-term investment, so look beyond the moment of purchase. How quickly can the model be delivered? What does the warranty cover? And what happens if something ever goes wrong? At Bellezi, every bed is available directly from stock. You also receive a standard five-year factory warranty (plus a further 10 years on the frame and metal parts), and with our 24-hour service you are never left on your own. Because downtime means lost revenue, and that is what you want to avoid. That is why we are available by phone 365 days a year, from 08:00 to 22:00.
