Longer, full-length bolsters run the width of a standard treatment table and work best for whole-limb or spinal support.

A half circumference bolster has one flat side, which stops it rolling and suits side-lying positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat length bolster do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShort bolsters suit ankles, wrists and the neck.
