Earthlite 6" Full Round Bolster: Positioning and Biomechanical Benefits
The Earthlite 6" Full Round Bolster is a fundamental positioning tool in professional massage and clinical therapy settings. This Full Round Bolster by Earthlite offers target-specific structural support by accommodating supine, prone, and side-lying positions to facilitate muscle relaxation and reduce joint stress. Using it under the knees while supine helps minimize lumbar lordosis, redistributing spinal pressure and decreasing lower back strain. When placed beneath the ankles in prone postures, the bolster elevates the feet to lessen calf and hamstring tension. Side-lying clients benefit by using the bolster between the legs, which stabilizes the hips and alleviates tension on the iliotibial band and tensor fascia latae muscles. This bolster represents an investment in patient outcomes and session efficiency.
All cushions are sourced through Massage King as an authorized Earthlite distributor, ensuring factory-fresh quality with price protection and reliable shipping directly from the manufacturer's U.S. warehouse. This guarantees authenticity and consistent replenishment for active clinical practices.
Structural Core and Upholstery Performance
The bolster is constructed with a CFC-free, high-density polyurethane foam core engineered to maintain loft and resist compression over extensive clinical use. This core formulation sustains patient support without collapsing or creating uneven pressure zones, critical for repeatable therapeutic positioning.
The outer layer features Earthlite's proprietary Natursoft vinyl, a polyurethane-based, rayon-backed material that balances durability with comfort. From a practitioner's standpoint, this upholstery resists degradation from routine exposure to oils, creams, and disinfectants used in clinical sanitation protocols. It withstands daily cleaning with mild soaps or clinical surface disinfectants without cracking or hardening, preserving the bolster's protective and tactile properties over time.
Target Audience
Ideal for high-volume massage therapy clinics, physical therapy centers, and rehabilitative practices requiring consistent, durable client positioning aids that enhance structural alignment and reduce practitioner strain.

Fit and Maintenance Guidelines
The Earthlite 6" Full Round Bolster integrates smoothly with most standard massage tables, its standardized length and diameter providing consistent client contours that aid tactile treatment delivery. The nylon carry strap adds portability without interfering with therapy applications.
For effective sanitation, clean the bolster surface promptly after each session using a mild soap and warm water solution or clinical-grade surface disinfectants that are non-alcohol-based. Excessive moisture around seams should be avoided to prevent premature wear. Adhering to these protocols extends upholstery life and preserves the foam's integrity under heavy, repeated use.
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.
