A senior cushion solves exactly that problem. It is placed in the washing unit, not in the client chair itself, and raises the client slightly so their head reaches the basin at the correct angle instead of water running down their neck and back. It is a small, quick solution you can bring out precisely when a client needs it, without rebuilding or replacing the washing unit itself.
There are three things worth considering before you choose one.
Over the years, many people lose some of their natural flexibility, and their back does not always sit as upright in the washing unit as it used to. This means their head does not automatically settle at the correct angle over the basin, causing water to run down their neck instead of backwards. It is not a problem with the washing unit itself, but with the distance between the client’s natural sitting height and the position of the basin. A senior cushion corrects this without you having to adjust the chair itself.
The senior cushion is designed to fit most standard washing units without permanent attachment or modification. It is placed in the chair before the treatment and removed afterwards, so you do not tie one particular station to serving older clients only. If you have a washing unit with a very unusual shape or depth, it may be a good idea to check the measurements before ordering, but it fits most standard models without any issues.
If your salon regularly serves older clients, a senior cushion is a small investment compared with the irritation and extra time involved in manually supporting a client’s neck during every wash. If you rarely have older clients in the chair, it may be enough to keep one cushion available for when the need arises rather than equipping every washing station with one. It is not a product that requires a major decision, but it is worth having on hand if it becomes a recurring problem.

Mirplay focuses on simple, practical solutions that solve specific problems in the everyday salon, without requiring installation or modifications to existing furniture. If you also need to solve similar challenges for younger clients in the styling chair, you will find a dedicated selection of booster seats that serve a different purpose from the washing unit itself.

The senior cushion is designed to fit most standard washing units without permanent attachment, so you can place it in and remove it as needed. This makes it flexible to use across several stations rather than tying one particular station to serving older clients only. If you have a washing unit with a very unusual shape or a deeper basin than usual, it may be a good idea to check the measurements before ordering, but there is generally no need to worry with most standard models.
No, the two serve different purposes. A booster seat raises smaller children to styling height in the client chair, while a senior cushion is used in the washing unit and prevents water from running down the necks of clients who sit lower in the basin. It is easy to confuse the two because both adapt a standard chair to a client who does not fit it as it is, but they are used at two different stations in the salon and solve two different problems. If your salon serves both children and older clients, it may make sense to keep both available.
The cushion is made of a water-repellent material, so it can stay close to water during a hair wash without absorbing moisture. After each client, it can quickly be wiped with a damp cloth, making it easy to keep hygienic in a busy salon without additional cleaning routines. Avoid harsh cleaning products that are not intended for furniture upholstery, as they can wear down the surface faster over time than ordinary wiping. A quick wipe between clients is usually enough to keep the cushion looking presentable throughout a busy day.
You get at least a 2-year warranty on the senior cushion. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in the material and stitching, so you are covered if something fails during normal use in the salon, whether it happens shortly after purchase or later in the warranty period. If something breaks within the warranty period, contact us and we will find a solution, whether that requires repair or replacement. Normal wear from daily use and disinfecting over several years is expected and is not covered as a manufacturing defect, just as with most other furniture and equipment in a busy salon.
