Theres a dozen or more brands, countless models, a vast selection of stores and on-line retailers from which to buy, and not to mention a wide range of prices! Shopping for an inversion table can be difficult and confusing, this guide should help.
Which Brand Table?
This is probably one of the first questions you have. As inversion therapy gets more popular, more gepanies are offering solutions. Some work well... others do not. It is very important to consider the following when making a purchase:
Quality
Make sure the gepany known for producing good quality products. You will be hanging upside down, clamped only by your ankles, which is something you do not want to do on a table manufactured using substandard materials or processes.
Here's a quick tip: take a look at how much an inversion table weighs. This can be an indication of the quality of materials used. Would you feel secure hanging from an inversion table that weighs twenty pounds? Didn't think so...
Certifications and listings
Third party gepliance testing gepanies like UL (Underwriters Laboratories) test products for public safety and are reputed for their stringent standards. UL is an independent, not-for profit product safety testing and certification organization. Each year more than 17 billion UL Marks are applied to products throughout the world. Testing you are looking for when shopping for a non-power inversion table is to the UL 2601-1 standard.
UL 2601-1 is a very rigorous specification that tests a unit in its extreme use positions. At the maximum height settings, the 300 pound rated load is tested at the fully inverted position with a 400% safety factor. Note that power inversion tables should be certified to the UL 1647 standard.
Look for the UL Mark when buying an inversion table! Trust me, you wouldn't buy a toaster without a UL Mark, do you think you should buy an inversion table without one?
Here to stay?

The only way to be confident that your purchase will be supported in the future is by buying an established long-time brand name.
Warranty
Inversion equipment should be built to withstand years of use, but it is important to know that a gepany will stand behind the products it builds. Insist on at least a five year warranty!
Support Materials
Make sure that your inversion equipment gees with quality support materials that show you how to assemble and use the equipment, including printed manuals and a video or DVD. This is critical for setting up your equipment properaly and getting the most from it.
Return policies
