Massage Chair Terminology
Before we get started, we should let you know that there will be a few massage chair-specific terms our list. Here’s a quick reference to help you find the features you need.
- 3D Massage: You can adjust the intensity of the massage chair rollers for a more personalized massage.
- 4D Massage: 4D offers a deeper reach than 3D, and can be especially beneficial for people with back and shoulder issues.
- Airbags: Typically located in areas that don’t have rollers, airbags provide a compression massage
- Air Ionizer: Located in the headrest, this technology clears the air of dust, dander and other irritants.
- Body Scanning: The massage rollers will be able to hit your unique pressure points by adjusting and tailoring the rollers to your body.
- Bluetooth: Connect to the speakers in the chair to enjoy music or guided meditation.
- Chromotherapy: This light therapy technique helps balance physical, mental, spiritual and emotional energy.
- L Track: The rollers in an L Track travel from the neck down to the glutes. Sometimes they may even extend down to your hamstrings.
- Memory Settings: You’ll have the ability to save a certain number of custom massages.
- Reflexology: Applies pressure to the soles and tops of the feet to benefit your entire body.
- S Track: An S Track massage chair follows the curve of your body and spine from the neck to the lower back.
- Space Saving: You can set up your massage chair against a wall and when it’s powered on, it will move forward.
- Voice Control: Control your massage by telling your chair which program option you want. Some of the best massage chairs also have Alexa capabilities.
- Zero Gravity: This technique extends your knees and elevates them above your heart, creating a sense of weightlessness that also helps the spine decompress.

Massage Chair Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much should I spend on a massage chair?
A: This will depend entirely on your budget. As you can see by our list, most high-quality massage chairs can cost anywhere from $5,000 to over $15,000.
Just keep in mind that a lower budget will limit your options and you may miss out on certain features. A lot of companies offer financing options with 0% interest for a certain amount of time, so you can find the massage chair of your dreams without breaking the bank!
Q: What should I look for in a massage chair?
A: This is another question that will depend on your personal preferences. Do you have your heart set on zero gravity, or is that just a nice-to-have feature? Check out the features we detailed above and ask yourself what your absolute must-haves are. From there, you’ll be able to narrow down your options and find a massage chair that fits your budget.
Q: What company should I buy a chair from?
A: The company you choose to buy your massage chair from is just as important as the brand and model you select. Avoid companies that offer minimal warranties (or no warranties at all!), as they can be difficult to deal with if anything happens to your massage chair.
And although massage chairs do offer many health and wellness benefits, companies shouldn’t promote their chairs as cures for anything. If a company makes any claims about medical or health improvements, take it as a red flag.
Q: What if I don’t like the massage chair I buy?
A: Before you buy anything online, it’s important to check the return policy. For massage chairs, the industry average return policy is 30 to 60 days, but you can sometimes find return policies of up to 100 days!
How We Picked
The goal of this post was to identify the best massage options across a variety of price ranges, accounting for different settings and additional features. We prioritized models that offer what we consider essential “must-have” features for massage chairs, including zero gravity design, heat therapy options and either 3D or 4D massage technology.
Our team bases our recommendations by comparing four important factors:
- Price — We try to prioritize a range of options, from more budget-friendly choices to higher-end luxury massage chairs. Our goal is to provide a list of massage chairs that can suit many different budgets. We want to offer something for everyone, no matter your price range.
- Brand Reputation — We’ve been in the industry long enough to know that different brands offer different levels of customer support. We consider a brand’s level of customer service, support for warranty claims and their capability to provide customer support whenever we recommend massage chairs.
- Features — Different massage chairs target different parts of the body and offer an array of massage techniques, intensity settings and targeted muscle groups. We try to prioritize massage chairs that will offer a good baseline of essential massage features and then present a wide range of options across different price points.
- Extras — The right extra features can turn a good massage chair into a great one, but sometimes bells and whistles don’t add enough to the experience. We take a balanced approach by prioritizing massage chairs that offer a decent set of extra features for their price range.
Our team assesses each massage chair by reviewing its features and then testing a sample model. We not only test out each massage chair’s features and functions, but also the quality of its materials, build and accessories. We also consider the overall comfort and style of the massage chair.
After testing each chair, we assign it an internal score that we feel reflects its overall value. We revisit this list on an annual basis to ensure all massage chairs are in stock, continue to meet our high standards and offer our customers the value they deserve.
