Finding the Right Massage Chair for You

When picking the perfect massage chair, consider these key factors: Is it comfortable? Does it offer the features you need to relax? Does it accommodate your body size and height? Will it fit in your space? How long will your massage chair last?

Features

Ensuring your massage chair has the features you need is crucial for a personalized and satisfying experience. Here are some common features to look for:

Space-Saving Technology

  • Compact Design: Glide forward before reclining to save space. With CompactGlide™ and SpaceSaver, you only need 3 inches of clearance behind the chair.

Massage Functions

  • Zero Gravity: Elongates your back, and releases pressure in your spine and joints.
  • Hip Massage: Compression massage targeting the waist, thighs, and glutes.
  • Dynamic Rollers: 3D Advanced Wave rollers move in all directions, including deep into your back.
  • Full Body Massage: A roller mechanism that travels from your neck, gliding down your back, glutes, and hamstrings, using multiple massage techniques.
  • Calf Relief: Gently kneads your achy calves, promoting recovery and inducing relaxation.
  • Hand Massage: Air pressure massage for fingers to elbows, alleviating arthritis and carpal tunnel.
  • Air Pressure Massage: An air pressure massage that helps alleviate stress and strain in fatigued shoulders.
  • Foot Massage: Re-energizing and kneading massage targeting nerve endings in feet, providing air compression around your heels, toes, and the top of your feet.

Health Benefits

Investing in a massage chair isn’t just about comfort—it’s about enhancing your overall well-being. Here are some compelling health benefits that make investing in a massage chair worthwhile:

  • Stress Reduction: Massage chairs offer a relaxing escape from daily stressors, providing soothing relief and promoting a sense of calmness.
  • Pain Relief: Targeted massage techniques can effectively alleviate muscle tension, soreness, and discomfort, offering relief from chronic pain conditions.
  • Improved Circulation: By stimulating blood flow and lymphatic drainage, massage chairs contribute to better circulation, which supports overall health and vitality.
  • Enhanced Sleep Quality: Regular use of massage chairs can help improve sleep patterns, leading to deeper and more restorative sleep, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
  • Boosted Immunity: Massage therapy has been shown to enhance immune function by reducing stress hormones and promoting the production of infection-fighting cells, bolstering your body’s natural defense mechanisms.
  • Mental Well-Being: The relaxation induced by massage chairs can uplift mood, reduce anxiety, and improve mental clarity, fostering a positive outlook on life and enhancing overall well-being.

Lifespan of your Massage Chair

Massage chairs typically have a lifespan of 10 to 20 years when properly maintained. To ensure longevity, keep the chair clean, avoid direct sunlight and excessive moisture, and use mild neutral cleaners when cleaning.

  • Frame: The stronger your frame, the longer your massage chair will hold up to usage and the heavier weights. For example, the Jacuzzi and ZA massage chairs feature a 360-degree welded powder-coated steel frame. This type of frame will hold up to many years of daily usage.
  • Motors: Like a car, the motor powers the model. Good motors will run quietly and last longer. Massage chair models with more motors will perform more intricate and fuller massages. When you’re looking for a good massage chair, check how long the brand has been in business. How long have their customers kept using their massage chairs? What’s the weight rating? Jacuzzi and ZA feature patented brushless motors, that will last longer than any other brand in the market.
  • Materials: The quality of the materials will affect how long you can use your chair. Have you ever bought furniture and the upholstery has worn off after a few years? The same does happen with massage chairs. Your higher-end materials with polyurethane, poly-vinyl chloride, and leather. There are different grades to these materials. Feel the thickness to understand its durability.

Cost

The price range for massage chairs spans from approximately $2,000 to upwards of $15,000, reflecting a broad spectrum of features, functionalities, and quality levels. Various factors contribute to this price disparity:

  • Range of the chair’s features and customization options
  • Availability of local service support
  • Quality of materials used in its construction
  • Upholstery materials
  • Longevity of your massage chair

When considering the cost of a massage chair, it’s essential to weigh these factors carefully to ensure that you invest in a chair that meets your needs and budget while delivering the desired level of comfort and relaxation.

The price of the chair doesn’t mean it’s better. Each manufacturer has different strategies, which reflect the wide range in pricing.

Online brands, selling massage chairs from $1,000 to $3,000, provide little support and have not truly custom-built the massage chairs for the North American market. They will feel rougher and less comfortable. They use lower-end motors, frames, materials and limited programming customization. The massage quality will be unknown until you receive it, and in general, they are rougher.

Look for brands that offer local showroom experiences, professional installers, and in-home technicians. After all, your massage chair will last a long time. Choose a dealer that will also be able to take care of your massage chair for its ownership.

Set-Up

Electrical Requirements

Massage chairs typically connect to a standard 110v outlet. Additionally, it’s advisable to use a surge protector for the chair before initiating its use.

Space Requirements

Massage chairs vary in their space requirements. As they are assembled on-site, door size is usually not a concern. When fully reclined, chairs typically occupy anywhere from 3 to 18 inches behind the chair and 20 inches in front. Certain models offer a space-saving feature, where the chair moves forward as it reclines, minimizing the need for extra space behind the chair. This can reduce the space needed to just 3 inches compared to the standard 18 inches.

Placement

When deciding where to put your massage chair you will want to think of somewhere you can relax comfortably. You will need room for the chair to recline. You will want to put it in a room where you will use it the most. A lot of times this is the bedroom so you can use it when you wake up or before going to bed. Sometimes it may be the living room or den, so you can relax, watch TV, or read a book while getting massages. It’s what works best for you. You should also consider using a floor covering, especially if you have wooden or easily damaged floors.

Usage

It’s advisable to use the chair for 30 minutes to an hour per session, three to four times per week. However, listen to your body’s cues as it will indicate if you’re overdoing it. It is not recommended to use the chair every day, more than three times a day, or to exceed one hour of usage per day.
