We often get asked which headrest cover offers the best value—and honestly, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The best choice depends on what matters most to your practice: the lowest cost, the softest feel, dependable poly-backed protection, or the perfect balance of comfort, performance, and value.

 

Most Economical: head sheetsHead Sheets

If your primary concern is cost, our head sheets (HP2023) are the most affordable option at approximately $0.04 per sheet. They provide an economical, hygienic barrier for electrolysis treatments and are a popular choice for practices that go through a high volume of sheets.

    • Pack of 1,000 sheets
    • Approximately $0.04 per sheet
    • Thin paper construction
    • Ideal for practices looking for the lowest cost per treatment

Because they are made from a very thin paper, many professionals look at other options for a thicker, more absorbent barrier. If comfort, durability, or absorbency is more important than achieving the lowest cost per treatment, one of our premium head sheet options may be a better fit for your practice.

Most Popular: Professional Paper Towels

  • Soft, durable, and absorbent

We also offer four different Professional Paper Towel options, allowing you to choose the thickness, size, and level of absorbency that best fits your practice.

Best Value Alternative: Thrift & Non-Poly Towels

Hidden Gem: Wubbies®Wubbies paper towels

Another advantage is flexibility. Wubbies® are available in convenient packs of 50, so you can try them without purchasing an entire case. If they become your new favorite, they’re also available in cases of 10 packs (500 total).
