Massage therapy is an excellent and soothing way to relieve stress, reduce pain, or unwind after a long day. Similarly, massage chairs are one of the best natural, effective, and convenient ways to relax your mind and body. They are somewhat of an investment, but massage chairs become more valuable the more often they are used. They can pay for themselves in a matter of months, compared to the cost of regular visits to a professional. Massage chairs can indefinitely save you time and money on massage therapy while helping you relieve stubborn pain, stress, and tension through boosted circulation, muscle relaxation, and endorphin release.
Researching and shopping for a massage chair online can be a great starting point in familiarizing yourself with available features, price ranges, and the look of massage chairs.
The only problem with purchasing your massage chair online is that you can’t try them!
Testing a variety of massage chairs is a substantial part of successfully choosing a chair and being happy with your final purchase.
Shopping locally is often the best route to follow in the buying process. It gives you confidence that you are making the right decision. While shopping online, your senses will be limited to seeing or hearing about massage chairs. An overload of information can often be confusing and make the process difficult or unenjoyable. Visiting a nearby massage chair showroom, like at Mattress World Northwest, is a fun and easy way to shop and benefit from seeing and feeling different massage chairs. Just like with Goldilocks, testing out a variety of chairs will help you evaluate the styles and features to find the one that is just right for you. Even if you do enough research to see this expert level of detail on the internet, you won’t know what you’re getting without trying out the chairs and getting expert guidance on the various options. The best part is feeling what each massage chair offers your individual needs, whether that’s pain relief, boosting your mood, or reducing tension.
Many people wonder which massage chair is the best. Not one massage chair is “the best” because everyone’s body is uniquely different. We all have various needs to find pleasure and pain relief from massage, and testing them out first will leave you with an advantage to end up with the best fit and feeling massage chair for you. Unlike buying a massage chair online, in a massage chair showroom, you can kick your feet up, enjoy a relaxing massage, and try the features of different brands of massage chairs.

There are a few things to contemplate in selecting a new massage chair for your home. Benefits will be the main factor in your investment. Consider pain relief for specific areas, improved mental health, stress relief, or muscle recovery from a highly active lifestyle. Take into account shipping procedures, warranty, and customer service.
With today’s advanced mechanics and technology, massage chairs are able to perform massage by kneading, tapping, or rolling along the spine using techniques like Swedish-style acupressure massage. Cutting-edge massage chairs have special features, functions, and benefits that vary from chair to chair. Some vary in intensity to suit your needs for more or less pressure and perform a life-like massage in your home. Consider these options:
Many massage chairs, like the Positive Posture Sol and Brio+ massage chairs, will slowly recline you back into a position of weightlessness to simulate floating in space. An ideal and comfortable massage position to achieve maximum therapeutic benefits by boosting circulation from having your feet raised above the hips and heart.
An S-track massage chair, such as the Panasonic MA73, uses a massage path guided from your neck to your lower back. An ideal massage chair track type for people with back or neck pain, the S track will mainly target the upper body and the lower legs and feet.
An L track massage chair, like the OHCO R.6, will generally perform similarly to an S track massage chair throughout the back and neck. This kind of track will also extend down into the area of your glutes and hamstrings.
An L-track massage chair will be best for those seeking pain relief near the hip area or a boost of relief and recovery for your glute muscles.
The warmth from infrared heat from the heated rollers on the Panasonic MAJ7 massage chair will penetrate more deeply into the muscles and tendons to create a sense of relaxation. Heat is a great source to help restore healing and alleviate pain relief for people living with arthritis. Many massage chairs, like the OHCO M8, come with user-controlled infrared full body heat for your neck, back, arms, legs, and feet.
Today’s massage chairs can learn your body measurements, including the length of your torso and legs or the width of your shoulders, before beginning your massage session. Some massage chairs, like the Positive Posture Brio Sport, have the intelligence to locate acupressure points throughout your body after scanning. This process will help the massage chair adapt and create specific massage movements that are custom-made for you. The Brio+ massage chair uses body scanning technology to heighten the human-like massage quality and maximize pleasure, comfort, and relief to users of varying heights, weights, and shapes.
Not everyone enjoys an intense deep tissue or powerful massage. Compression therapy within a massage chair utilizes a unique airbag system that will squeeze the legs and arms, sometimes even the hips and shoulders, to renew blood flow and reenergize vital endorphins for restorative healing and pain relief. Massage chairs like the Panasonic MAJ7 and OHCO M.DX offer a total body air-only massage with user-customized intensity. Especially for those with sore, tender, or injured areas, compression therapy will help boost circulation and the healing process. There is no need for maximum pressure involving kneading, tapping, or rolling.
Many massage chairs for sale, like the Panasonic MA73, will offer stretching routines using compression airbags with the Real Pro Ultra 4D massage mechanism. The combination of squeezing with compression and movements like reclining the chair will help stretch muscles and tendons to make them more pliable. Flexibility will help your body become less prone to injury and is essential to each person’s health and wellness.
The Positive Posture Brio Sport massage chair is a finely tuned machine with warm-up and cool-down massage routines designed for before and after exercising. The Sport4D intelligent massage with deep tissue massage capability will help boost blood flow, mobilize your spine, and help you recover or warm up before intense activity or exercise. With proper recovery from pre- and post-workout massage, your body will have a heightened ability to:
Reduce or Shorten
Increase and Improve
Massage chairs are not only valuable for bettering your physical health, even though pain relief is what they are best known to achieve. Massage chairs with aromatherapy, like the OHCO M.8 massage chair, will help render relaxation and a positive state of mind. The release of beta-endorphins or “feel-good hormones” from the highest level of relaxation will give you a sense of contentment and well-being during and after your massage. A unique ionizer in the headrest of the M8 massage chair will transport you to a spa in your home with a personalized blend of aromatherapy oils.
After weighing all of your options and considering available features on a massage chair, consider your budget. Sticker shock is common while shopping for high-tech devices and home goods with advanced technology. Remember, an average-priced massage chair will pay for itself with a few months of routine use.
Compare the cost of a massage chair to the cost of medical therapies like chiropractor visits, acupuncture, physical therapy, or professional massages.
Plus, the initial purchase doesn’t need to drain your pocketbook. If you choose to take advantage of Mattress World Northwest’s interest-free financing for a promotional term, you will have low and easily affordable monthly payments.
