I couldn't find this topic discussed here. I was wondering what your experiences have been whenever there's a choice between a table or futon, as to the level of service provided.  Some AMPs in my area advertise that they have tables and, usually for a slightly higher fee, futons.  I've never asked for a futon into those circumstances so I always get a table.  

Anyone find that your odds of getting "extras" is higher with the futon?

I've only had two massages on a futon.  One was a rip off in which the masseuse wasn't Asian as advertised but a full-figured gal from Iowa who gave a lame massage.  I should have left immediately but it was very early in my hobbying experience.  The other was a gorgeous spinner indy FBSM provider who retired soon after I met her. 😢

except for one gal that specialized in Thai massage (lots of working of limbs, very interesting and enjoyable) who used a yoga pad laid on the floor.

 
There didn't seem to be too much correlation as nearly all did extras, unles of course I was at a place I knew was legit (like a hotel spa) and extras were not going to happen anyways.

Often a massage would begin on a table, but end up on a nearby bed.

I've only been massaged on a table or bed, never a futon.

Depending on the timing (recent past v distant past), maybe she is still available UTR and only to regulars and those that she knows.  Is there a chance you can still find her?  If reviewed, PM her reviewers to see if they will tell her you'd like to see her again ... and again, and again, ...

I'm pretty sure she's long gone. But if not, she knows I was interested in seeing her again because I sent her an email request before I knew she'd retired and got her automated reply that she'd left the business.  

I'm not one to stalk providers, including retired/UTR providers.  I've had a few providers reach out to me when they went UTR to let me know they were available, but if they don't do that I leave them be.  I know some providers who went UTR because they were being stalked.  I don't want to be one of those kind of guys.  It's... creepy.

For sure. Not me either. Getting your fut-on is one thing, but getting your stalker-on is quite another.  
.
It was just a suggestion that depended on circumstances: recent, good chemistry and compatibility pre-UTR, ability of other reviewers to relay your desire to see her again, etc..  But it's just not to be.

Hobby on!

but a place I have been going to lately just happens to have both in the same room.

 
It's worked out perfectly for me. I don't know if everyone gets this service, but when I go there I get a GFE session on the futon followed by a great massage on the table. I know the norm is to get the massage first and then sex (if available at all) on the flip, but I sometimes like to fuck a long time and I hate to be rushed into finishing when the girl times things for a "normal" guy. If i have a choice between a shortened massage or rushed sex, it's a pretty easy choice for me.

 
BTW for anyone else who would like to try this approach, it's not hard to do. I know the girls are used to leading the action, but if instead of lying face down on the massage table while she exits the room to "get ready" I just sit there on the table and when the girl comes back in the room I bring her in for a kiss, and then let nature takes it's course. I suppose this might be a bit awkward in places that don't offer FS, but so far it's worked out pretty well for me.

One masseuse told me they added the futon option  because so many men are ultra-obese and simply too big to comfortably fit on the table (I'm not making this up).  But from a practicality standpoint, if your massage is going to be sensual/sexual it is better for her to be on a futon with you.  She can straddle you easier and if she starts out at your head you can reach forward and grab her ass, midsection, etc.  Most massage start with her at your head/shoulders with her sitting at the head/top of the bed/futon, so its a good time to break the ice early and reach up to grab her ass and thighs. I always opt for futon when available.

I'm not obese 🤓 but I'll ask for the futon next time and see what happens.  If mamasan says something like, "But you not fat!", I'll know futon vs table might not matter there!

When she starts the massage from the headboard end of the futon, reach up your hands and try to grab some ass.  See if she sit on top of your hands.  If this happens, then there is permission to go further.  I will usually squeeze her ass if its nice and then maybe try to get some glancing touches on her pussy.  They usually wear black tights, but if you get one in a hot climate who wears shorts or a skirt, boy are you in luck!  This is the best way to establish what you're looking for. If she has shorts or a skirt I'll kiss her inner thigh.  Once groping her ass and thighs is established as acceptable, see if you can lift her top a little and caress her midsection. Gradually move up to the bra and massage her breasts first from the outside of the bra.  Continue to banter and flirt with her.  
 Also, if their advertisements are sexy and flirtatious you can mention those.  "I saw the ad on backpage, all the women were in lingerie...is that an option here?  I love your sexy body, I'd love to treat you right if you treat me right"....etc.
