Lotus and Coast—what sets them apart?

Overall, Lotus and Coast are closely related. They are each made up of a pair of magnetic Nesting Dome sets (large, medium, and small domes) on Timber Bases.

‘Inspired by Nature’, Lotus draws from the elegance of the blossoming lotus flower, while Coast channels the natural beauty of where land and ocean come together.

There are a few key design features which set Lotus and Coast apart, providing subtly different sensory input, fascial grip, and treatment focus to the skin, fascia, and muscles.

Even though there are subtle performance differences between Lotus and Coast, most people make their choice based on the style and colour that they prefer.

The Headlines

Coast and Lotus both can be varied in firmness

Both Coast and Lotus allow you to vary the firmness by adding or removing inner domes, for example the large dome by itself has much more give than a full set of nesting large, medium and small domes. Learn more on our Nesting Domes page.

Distinctive nodules and contours

The large Lotus domes have slightly more angular nodules (think petals), while the large Coast domes have slightly more rounded nodules (think pebbles) so are a little more gentle for those who are sensitive. The large domes of Lotus and Coast both will grip the fascia equally as well as each other.

The contours of the Lotus medium domes are dimpled (think seed pod), while the Coast medium domes have flowing ripples across their surface. Both are designed to gently hold the fascia when rotating or sliding on the skin.

The small domes of Lotus and Coast are very similar in appearance and performance.

Nature-inspired colourways

Lotus and Coast each offer their own unique feel and aesthetic, thanks to the distinctive nature-inspired nodules, surface profiles, as well as their different colourways.

Available Colourways

Lotus – Midnight BlackMagenta

Coast Blue Basalt
