How to Compare Inversion Tables

Most inversion tables have a similar design. That said, you’ll notice that some also include a heat and vibration/massage cushion.

The models that come with extra features typically cost more. However, some people find that heat/massage really help to relieve tension and pain. Therefore, they find the extra cost to be worth the investment.

Note: An extra-comfortable backrest often motivates people to use the device more often, giving them faster results and a better overall value.

On the other hand, you may simply want a device that enables you hang upside down for a few minutes a day. In that case, a less expensive version, like the Innova Fitness may give you the tension and pain relief that you need. Plus, you can save money at the same time.

Like I mentioned above, most inversion therapy tables have the same basic structure. All models included in the chart above have a strong, sturdy frame with a simple no-fuss design.

About These Inversion Table Reviews:

This comparison chart offers a brief overview of the features and functions of each device. For a more in-depth evaluation of each product, click “See Complete Review” or each individual model.

Of course, the best inversion table for you will depend on your needs. I like to look at (1) the height and weight capacity, (2) the ankle cushion design and (3) features like acupressure nodes, lumbar support pillows and heat/vibration pads.

My Final Suggestions for Inversion Table Buyers:

When it comes down to it, the effectiveness of an inversion table really depends on how often you use it. It actually took me a while to get into the habit of using mine.

I suggest finding a spot where you enjoy inverting. For example, somewhere you can look out a window, listen to relaxing music or enjoy peace and quiet.

Then, schedule a time each day to hang upside down. I prefer the same time each morning because it makes the habit easier to stick to.

Sometimes I only use it for a couple of minutes at a time. My body just enjoys that little “time out”, you know?

I’ve found that inversion helps me relax and think better. In fact, I’ve solved many-a-problem while hanging upside down. I hope that you’ve found these inversion table reviews helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions!
