Luxury Massage Chair Buyer’s Guide: 6 High-End Models to Check Out

There are 3 main qualities that represent a luxury massage chair: Features, price and support.

Features

There are 7 key features that all top-of-the-line luxury massage chairs will have:

• 3D or 4D Massage Technology: The technology of the massage rollers allows you to adjust the intensity for a more personalized massage.
• Bluetooth® Connectivity: Allows you to listen to music, guided meditation or your favorite podcast through speakers in the headrest.
• Calf & Knee Massage Rollers: Most massage chairs only have rollers in the foot rests and back, but luxury models also feature rollers and airbags for the calves and knees.
• Heat Therapy: Heating modules help soothe your muscles and better prepare your body for the benefits of your massage.
• L Track Design: An L Track massage chair has rollers that travel from your neck down to your glutes. In some models, they will even travel down to your hamstrings!
• Mobile App Remote Controls: By downloading an app, you can control your massage from your smartphone.
• Zero Gravity: Using technology inspired by NASA, zero gravity elevates your legs above your heart to create the feeling of weightlessness.

Many luxury models also offer their own version of select features:

• Airbag Compression Therapy: Strategically placed airbags in the massage chair offer compression therapy in addition to the rollers.
• Air Ionizer: A small vent in the headrest clears the air of dust, dander and other irritants for a healthier oxygen intake.
• Automatic Foot Rest Extension: This easily and automatically accommodates the foot rest to your leg length and comfort.
• Body Scanning: The massage rollers will be tailored to your body in order to hit your pressure points.
• Chromotherapy: Light therapy creates a visually relaxing experience to help you balance your mental, spiritual and emotional energy.
• Reflexology: Foot rest rollers apply pressure to both the soles and tops of your feet.
• Voice Control: Simply tell your massage chair what you’d like! Some models will also have Amazon Alexa integration capabilities.

Price

Because luxury models include all the bells and whistles you could ever want or need, they have a higher price point than standard models.

You’ll see luxury models with price ranges between $7,000 and $12,000, but it’s not uncommon for certain brands go beyond this. As with any type of technology, you get what you pay for.

Pro Tip: Many brands stock certified, pre-owned massage chairs that may be available at a lower price than brand-new options.

Support

A luxurious product requires luxurious support! It’s an absolute must for manufacturers and distributors to offer top-of-the-line support for their products.

Review testimonials and product reviews to vet your new massage chair and be sure to only purchase from companies with:

• Reliable and available customer service and tech support

Q: Where can I buy a massage chair?
A: A lot of luxury brand massage chairs are only available for purchase online. However, some may have showrooms where you can test their products. You may also be able to find certain brands in your favorite brick-and-mortar retail stores. If your local furniture retailer does not currently offer massage chairs, tell them that they should!

Q: What if I purchase a massage chair and don’t like it?
A: Before you make your purchase, check the store’s return policy. The industry average is 30 to 60 days, but some places (like Massage Chair Store) offer 100-day return policies.

Don’t forget to read the fine print of the return policy. Do they offer a money back guarantee? Are you responsible for return shipping costs? Will you be able to return it for a different model? All of this information should be made clear on the company’s website.

Q: What do warranties cover?
A: Replacement parts, structural framework and labor are typically included in the first year, and you’ll have the option to extend the warranty. The exact details of the warranty will vary by brand, so be sure to check the company’s website or inquire with a massage chair specialist.
