Earthlite 6" Full Round Bolster: Professional Clinical Workflow.
The Earthlite 6" Full Round Bolster is a core accessory in clinical and therapeutic settings, engineered to facilitate patient positioning and therapist access. As a versatile bolster, Earthlite designed it with the clinical workflow in mind, optimizing session efficiency and contributing to better patient outcomes through improved anatomical support and comfort.
Constructed with environmentally conscious, CFC-free foam and covered in Natursoft vinyl, this bolster combines durability with ease of maintenance. Its standard 6 x 26-inch size and cylindrical form factor adapt to multiple treatment uses, making it a practical investment for any clinical environment aiming to deliver consistent and replicable patient positioning.
Clinical Positioning & Biomechanical Benefits.
- Sitting under the knees in supine positions, it reduces lumbar lordosis and eases lower back strain by flattening the lumbar curve.
- Placed beneath the ankles in prone positions, it elevates the feet, decreasing tension in the calf muscles and hamstrings.
- Supporting the cervical spine when placed under the neck promotes cervical alignment, facilitating relaxation and reducing neck muscle tightness.
- Used to separate legs in side-lying positions, it provides hip stabilization and decreases tensor fasciae latae (TFL) and iliotibial band (ITB) tension.
- The bolster's firmness supports therapist ergonomics by creating predictable patient contours for applying treatment without excessive therapist strain or awkward positioning.

Frequently Asked Questions.
How does this bolster improve client positioning and therapist ergonomics?
The bolster relieves pressure points by maintaining natural spinal curves and supporting joints in neutral alignment. This minimizes strain on patient muscles and enables the therapist to deliver deeper manual pressure without adopting compromising body positions.
What is the best way to clean and sanitize this bolster?
Clean using mild soap and warm water or a clinical surface disinfectant formulated not to damage polyurethane or PVC vinyl. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners to prevent drying and cracking of the upholstery.
Where does this item ship from?
This item ships directly from our physical operations and shipping point in Eatontown, New Jersey or the manufacturer's USA warehouse, depending on stock levels.
Typical shipping times: Most supplies and 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.
