Eyelash extensions are precision work done at close range, over long appointments. The lash bed — also sold as a lash extension bed or lash table — is the one piece of furniture that decides whether you finish the day comfortable or with a stiff neck. This guide covers the sizes, heights and finishes that suit UK lash studios, with metric measurements and £ pricing.
Lash bed, lash extension bed or lash table?
They describe the same furniture. In the UK “lash bed” is the common term, while “lash table” often appears on imports. Compare the dimensions and upholstery rather than the wording, and make sure the head end gives you clear access to both eyes.
Sizes in cm
- Length: 180–190 cm covers most clients; 200 cm if you lash taller clients regularly.
- Width: 60–70 cm is typical for lash work and saves space versus a full massage couch.
- Height: aim for a cushioned top around 65–75 cm so your forearms stay level while you work.
- Clearance: at least 60 cm on your working side, plus room at the head end for a lamp and trolley.
Why height and comfort matter more than looks
Lash appointments run long, and small postural compromises add up. A bed that lets you raise the client and tilt the backrest keeps your neck and shoulders neutral, and lets a client sit up easily when you are done. If you also do brows or facials, choose a bed with a backrest that adjusts — you will switch between services without re-setting the room by hand.
Upholstery and UK fire safety
Upholstered furniture supplied for UK commercial use should meet the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 and carry the correct flammability label. Ask your supplier to confirm the upholstery is tested to the relevant schedule and that the item arrives with its permanent label. We do not quote certificate numbers here — always ask for the documentation that applies to your specific order.
Power and plug: UK mains and Type G
UK premises run on 230 V / 50 Hz with a Type G three-pin plug. If you choose an electric lash bed, confirm the plug type at order stage; our beds are dual voltage (110V-240V) so they run on UK mains with the correct plug. Ask for a UKCA or CE declaration if your insurer or landlord requests one.
What a lash bed costs in the UK
| Type | Typical UK price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Manual lash bed | £180–£400 | Starting out, low volume |
| Cushioned flat lash bed | £250–£600 | Most lash studios |
| Electric adjustable lash bed | £450–£900 | Full-time lashers, mixed services |
Figures are indicative retail; factory-direct keeps the same specification lower. Prices are usually quoted before 20% VAT, and on imports the duty and clearance depend on the incoterm, so a DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) quote gives you the final landed cost up front.
Buying checklist
- Confirm the bed fits your room with working clearance on your side.
- Check the head end for clear access to both eyes.
- Confirm upholstery fire-safety labelling and ask for the paperwork.
- Confirm UK voltage, Type G plug and any UKCA/CE declaration.
- Ask how the frame and any motors are covered by warranty.
- Ask for a DDP quote including VAT and duty.
Frequently asked questions
What is a lash bed?
A lash bed (also called a lash extension bed or lash table) is a padded treatment bed designed for eyelash extension work. It is usually a little narrower than a general beauty bed and positions the client’s head so you can reach both eyes without leaning in.
What size lash bed fits a small UK room?
A 180–190 cm long, 60–70 cm wide bed fits most lash studios. Leave at least 60 cm on your working side and enough room at the head end for your lamp and trolley.
How high should a lash bed be?
Set the bed so your forearms are roughly level when you work — usually a cushioned top around 65–75 cm. Adjustable beds let you fine-tune this for each technician.
Does a lash bed need fire-safety labelling in the UK?
Upholstered furniture for UK commercial use should comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 and carry the correct flammability label. Ask your supplier for the documentation that applies to your order.
Are electric lash beds worth the extra cost?
If you lash all day, yes. Electric height and backrest adjustment reduces neck and shoulder strain and lets you switch between lashing and brow work without re-setting the room by hand.
