The 10 Best Zero Gravity Massage Chairs for 2024
When shopping for your perfect massage chair, the options can seem endless: Do you want a heated chair? Leg and calf massagers? And what’s the difference between an S-track and an L-track? You didn’t study for this!
One of the more common (and popular) terms you may come across in your massage chair search is ‘zero gravity.’ While it doesn’t mean that you’ll gain the ability to float through space, the sensation a zero gravity massage chair provides comes pretty close.
What is a Zero Gravity Massage Chair?
A zero gravity massage chair comes with a moveable footrest that helps to extend your knees and elevate your feet slightly above your heart. This creates a sense of weightlessness by taking pressure off your spine, with the greatest benefit being improved circulation. This technique was first developed by — you guessed it — NASA for its astronaut training program, to alleviate some of the physical stress on the human body as it launches through Earth’s atmosphere.
When using a zero gravity massage chair, there are two steps to achieving that weightless sensation. First, the massage chair back reclines to level your back and thighs. Then the leg rest raises to elevate your legs above your heart. No space shuttle required!
The Benefits of a Zero Gravity Massage Chair
Once your zero gravity massage chair is fully reclined, your weight is evenly distributed throughout the massage chair. This causes your muscles to relax, and alleviates any stress you may be holding in your neck and back. As with any massage chair, there are many long-term benefits of a zero gravity massage chair: Regular use can help improve circulation, reduce arthritis pain and even ease the symptoms of varicose veins.

How We Picked These Massage Chairs
Our goal was to identify the best zero gravity massage chair options across a variety of price ranges, accounting for different settings and additional features. We prioritized zero gravity models that also offered a range of “must-have” features for massage chairs, including targeted massage techniques, 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 a 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.
