In the nuru massage, you need something to lie down on. The best type of mattress to lie down on is an air mattress, but anything that lets you slide around easily will work too.  One such ideal mattress is a waterproof inflatable massage air mattress that has an inflatable head cushion with a predetermined amount of space from the inflatable body cushion. In these two spaces is a formed vibrator cushion.

If an air mattress is used, make sure it’s vinyl since the fabric absorbs the gel and won’t be near as effective.
