Folding stool

Hi

I was wondering if anyone uses a folding stool e.g. the Lafumastool that matches the reclining chair. Whatdo you think of this type of stoolandis it comfortable to sit on?

Hi,

I bought the folding chair when I got my Lafuma and it is the only part of the deal I am disappointed with! When ever I use mine at a clients I check and see if there is a better alternative there.

The benefits are that it is very light and portable and if you are doing a single treatment it is OK.

The cons - it isn't height adjustable, you have no back support at all and since it is fabric not a lot of support anywhere else!

If I was starting again I would buy a height adjustable stool with some padding rather than the one I have. Or possibly one of those folding camping chairs that has a back so I could put a rolled up towel or cushion behind me to support my back!

Having said that - it is a cheap option while you are building a client base but you need to ensure that you are not causing yourself any injuries as that will prevent you from working at all! I would suggest popping into one of those camping shops and sitting on one for 5 minutes to see if you feel comfortable!

Hi guys

I got mine with my Lafuma as well. While my clients love the Lafuma, I really dislike the stool. It doesn't have any support, doesn't encourage good posture and really isn't very comfortable.

In the college I attend there is a padded stool on wheels which I think is a beauticians stool that I love primarily because it's on wheels and it allows me much more freedom to easily change position to work on the spine or lateral edges of the feet. I've promised myself one when I graduate.

While the folding stool has its advantages, principally it's cheap (relatively) I definitely wouldn't recommend one for the long term.

Be Good

I agree - I really dislike the stool, mainly because I like to be on wheels so I can move around. Mine has been demoted to a 'clipboard and note holder' and I invested in a saddle stool which is wonderful!
