The ankle cushions look bigger on the BODY MAX IT6000 then on all of the other inversion tables. Are they bigger? If not, can I buy bigger cushions for my ankles?

The ankle cushions are about standard across the board, having looked at different floor models. I do think this is one down fall of all tables, so you might find that a minor mod. is called for what ever table you purchase. I am very happy with my table, function and right price. Good luck.

Yes, they are bigger and more secure than a lot of other inversion tables. This is one thing I really noticed when choosing which to buy. We love it!

You can get bigger, smaller, or even wrap electrical tape around the pole to make it thicker and widen the cushion you have, as well as shave it with a knife to make it smaller, they're not ridiculously large though they are only about half length of the index finger

At this time, no. The Extreme and my new favorite, the Double Gel, are both two inches thick. If you are looking for a bit more give the Double Gel might be what you want. It has a firm layer and a softer layer. You choose which you want on top. Check the website at www.wondergel.com for more information. They provide great customer service and have a reasonable return policy, even if you buy through Amozon. So there is no reason not to try a cushion to see if you like it.

Your height would not be a problem but when you invert even at the smallest inversion, there is a slight pull on you ankles and knees. It would probably be best to ask your doctor about that.

That would be the one area you get what pay for in the cheaper model. They could really improve the ankle system easily. I have to wear boots when I invert to make it so my feet don't extend and end up supporting all my weigh improperly. I feel that the bottom foot rest and upper bar are too far apart and feet slide down or I have to flex my feet which I can only do for 5 min at most.

Yes, the cushion covers the ankles also. The top of the cushion is just above the ankles.

I don't know of a way to raise them higher, but I'm happy with them. I might be even happier if they were a little higher. I have arthritis in my hips and knees and found them easy enough to get out of without a cushion. However, I've added a pillow for comfort. It's not a patio chair cushion, just an old throw pillow. I'm only 5'6" so maybe that's why I'm not having a problem.

It's probably due to the length of the actual seat, and where it hits the back of your legs. There is a way to adjust some of the chairs, so you'd want to find out which model your firm purchased. Either the vendor or the site should be able to assist you once you know the model.

I emailed Furniture Creations and they are not able to get replacement cushions. I asked a separate question yesterday because I see this couch on other sites with a back cushion over the arm rest on the non-chaise side, and I prefer how that looks. I emailed to ask if I could buy an extra cushion, but it's not possible. I don't understand why that's not included on this version? The price is lower than other sites, but it just seems weird that on other sites it's the same couch with one more back cushion. I'm going to contact a few other retailers and see if I can find someone who will. I tried Poundex, but as another reviewer said, they don't deal with us "general public." ;) I emailed Furniture Creations and they are not able to get replacement cushions.

I might be the only one with issues in this regard. I am a short and heavy woman. My legs are pretty thick. So, when I snap myself in, I make it as tight as I can but once I invert myself, I slide down and almost fall out because at that point its by my ankles, which are small. my husband had to "save" my life mid air.

Best thing to do is find a chair in your house that is comfortable and measure the chair cushion height ***with the cushion compressed as if you are sitting on it with your full weight***. Getting a height too tall can result in circulation being cut off somewhat as the backs of your legs press against the webbing at a downward angle. I tried upsizing to the 21" model when I wore out my first 18" model and I had to go back to the 18" which is perfectly comfortable.

I experienced the same thing the first couple of times. Once the table is setup properly for my height, all I have to do is move my arms from my upper body to below my waist. You still need to bend down to unlatch the ankle locks, but your back will feel better after inverting a couple of time and the pressure comes off the nerve. I've had the 4--5 disc removed 20 years ago and experienced nervre pain occassionally, but this has help to eliminate that in two to three inversions.

Did you find a cushion that fits that you bought (as opposed to made yourself)? I am not one to make my own but have been trying to find something online that works outdoors (i.e. sunbrella material in case of a sudden summer shower). Love the idea of adding a cushion. Suncast could make a tidy sum if that offered that option. Thanks.

I own two of these cushions and love them. But in answer to your question I would direct you to the company who sells them, if anyone would know they should.

Also, consider wrapping smaller hand like towels around your ankle area so they'll cover the top part of your legs. Where the table's foam rollers point of contact is there. It'll offer some extra cushioning and comfort.

If you go to the tommy copper online site - they have a chart showing in inches the measurement to the corresponding size - depending on which item you are looking at. That is how i measured my ankle piece. The ankle piece is very shear - unlike most supports - I do not know if that is consistent throughout the line. I am very pleased with mine - it is not a miracle cure - but i think it has definitely helped reduce the pain in my ankle.

Without knowing all the details of your age, weight, physical health etc it's hard to say exactly. But if you are wearing shoes and have the table and ankle supports set/adjusted properly, you may just have weak ankles. When you are doing a complete inversion 100% of your body weight is being supported by your ankles. You may just have to work up to complete inversion before your ankles can support the weight.

Those cushions vary in sizes. If yours is like my old one I'm going to say no. if it's a child size then maybe
