There are generally three types of massage tables including those designed for a head rest attachment separate from the table, tables that have a face hole built into the table, and those with neither. Keep in mind that head rests from one massage table manufacturer do not necessarily fit in the head rest holes on a different table. Some do, and some don't so it's important to do some research to see which head rests may be interchangeable.
To ensure proper fit, measure the distance from the center of the left face rest hole to the center of the right face rest hole located at the head of your massage table.

It may offer fewer features and be constructed from cheaper materials. An expensive massage table is generally assumed to be a high-quality massage table with many features and solid construction.
