What to Look for when Buying a Massage Chair?

First, does the chair provides the type of massage and technique that you are looking for. Examples include kneading, tapping, shiatsu, rolling, and others.
Second, does the chair allows you to adjust the intensity and pressure of the massage.
Third, does the chair target my problem area. While, most massage chairs offer full-body massages, some may put more emphasis on specific areas like the back, neck, shoulders, or legs.
Fourth, airbags and rollers are responsible for applying pressure during a massage. However, the number of airbags and rollers varies from one machine to the next. So look for massage chairs that have the desired number of airbags and rollers to meet your needs.
Fifth, some massage chairs come with built-in heating elements that provide heat therapy to parts of your body along with the massage. Incidentally, heat can help relax muscles and enhance the massage experience.

Also, look for chairs with pre-programmed massage routines. These programs are designed for specific purposes, such as relaxation, deep tissue massage, or recovery, thereby making it easy to get the massage you want.
In addition, ensure that the chair's remote controller is easy to use and understand. You should be able to adjust settings and switch between massage modes without difficulty.
Most of all verify that the size of the massage chair, especially when fully reclined, can fit in the space available in your home.
Finally, check to see how easy or difficult it is to clean and maintain the chair. Removable and washable covers or easy-to-access components can make maintenance more manageable.
