Earthlite Durabolster Full Round Heavy Duty Bolster: Positioning and Biomechanical Benefits
The Earthlite Durabolster Full Round Heavy Duty Bolster is a professional-grade positioning tool designed to assist clinicians in optimizing patient comfort and alignment. This bolster’s robust construction and firm support facilitate correct biomechanical positioning in massage, physical therapy, and rehabilitation settings by reducing muscular tension and relieving pressure points. For example, placing the bolster under the knees during supine positioning alleviates lumbar strain, while supporting ankles in prone postures decreases hamstring tension, enhancing muscular release during therapy sessions.
Purchased through Massage King, an authorized Earthlite distributor, this bolster arrives factory fresh and competitively priced, ensuring that your investment supports both clinical outcomes and budgetary considerations.
Structural Core and Upholstery Performance
Internally, the bolster features a high-density closed-cell foam core that resists deformation and compression loss under repeated use. This ensures enduring firmness and reliable support over time, a crucial factor when positioning diverse client anatomies and weights. The exterior uses Nature's Touch heavy-duty polyurethane vinyl, selected for its resistance to oils, moisture, and abrasion typically encountered during clinical treatments.
This upholstery material enables quick and effective cleaning, allowing therapists to maintain hygiene standards by easily wiping away massage oils and disinfectants without compromising the surface quality. The vinyl’s tight weave and durable coating prevent pilling, tearing, and hydrolysis, making the bolster suitable for heavy commercial use and repeated sanitation protocols.
Target Audience
Ideal for clinical massage therapists, physical rehabilitation centers, and therapy clinics seeking durable positioning aids with reliable hygienic properties for repeated patient use.

Fit and Maintenance Guidelines
The bolster’s size and cylindrical shape accommodate a wide range of positioning needs, making it easy to integrate on varying table widths without shifting during treatment. The polyurethane vinyl cover resists oil absorption and can be cleaned between clients with mild soap and water or non-alcohol disinfectant wipes. It is important to avoid harsh solvents or saturating the seams to maintain the protective finish and prevent early cracking or material breakdown.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this bolster flatten out over time under heavy client weight?
No. Engineered with high-density, professional-grade foam cores, this cushion is structurally built to maintain its original loft and rebound resilience day after day, avoiding the compression failures common in retail foam alternatives.
How do I properly clean and sanitize this cushion between sessions?
Wipe the surface down immediately between clients using a mild soap and warm water solution, or a gentle, alcohol-free disinfectant wipe. Avoid saturating the seams or using harsh chemical solvents, which can dry out the vinyl and lead to premature cracking.
Does this specific shape help with lower back discomfort?
By elevating the knees while the client is supine, or supporting the ankles while prone, this cushion immediately reduces stress on the lumbar spine and hamstrings. This passive structural support triggers profound muscular release, making deep tissue work far more effective.
Shipping Information
Most supplies, accessories, and on-the-shelf items typically are shipped out within 1 to 2 business days, barring unforeseen backorders. If you’ve also ordered items that are "built to order" such as some customized tables they typically ship from the manufacturer's warehouse within 7 to 14 business days or longer for larger stationary or lift tables. If you’ve ordered multiple items from multiple brands then you’ll probably receive multiple box shipments that arrive on different days. Weather and backorders will increase these estimates.
