What’s the Best Massage Chair for a Tall Person?
When purchasing a massage chair, it’s especially important to make sure the frame will not only fit in your home space but also fit your body type. Anyone taller than six feet should check that the length of a massage chair in its reclined position will accommodate their height before taking the product home! And with so much of today’s massage chair shopping happening online, it’s not unheard of to receive a product that doesn’t meet expectations.
Most products listed on ecommerce sites will include specifications in their descriptions, but not everyone checks those specs before buying. If you’re in the market for a massage chair but don’t plan on visiting a showroom in person, it’s important to note product specs, or call the retailer for more information.
Fortunately, most massage chairs sold online today display their specifications clearly on the product page, so you can measure before you buy. The last thing a taller person wants is to find that their feet hang off the massage chair’s footrest, or that the headrest isn’t tall enough to support their neck. Armed with a checklist of features to look for, you can rest easy knowing your new massage chair will fit comfortably into your life.
We’ve rounded up our 10 favorite massage chairs that any tall person will love — because nothing should stand in the way of a quality massage!
How We Picked the Best Massage Chairs for Tall People
To select the best massage chairs for a tall person, our team identified and tested a variety of massage chairs with design and functions meant for taller body types, while also accounting for different settings and features. We decided on these recommendations by comparing four important factors: Price, brand reputation, functionality and extra features. We also considered the overall quality of each massage chair’s materials, build, comfort and style.

Our Massage Chair Store team has been in the business of manufacturing, repairing, selling and testing massage chairs for almost 15 years. They’ve spent hundreds of hours sitting in and using different massage chairs to test their functionality, features and overall comfort.
Massage Chairs for a Tall Person: What to Look For
While most massage chairs are designed with a range of body types in mind, there are a few key features that stand out when it comes to taller frames.
49” L-track: The L-shaped track that runs along your spine is the anchor point for much of a massage chair’s mechanisms, and 49” is the longest track available on the market.
Body scanning: This intelligent technology will detect your body’s pressure points, which are unique to your frame and musculature. Using this information, the massage chair’s rollers will adjust to target those areas.
Extendable footrest: Even if a massage chair can accommodate most of your height, the last thing you want is for your feet to be dangling off the footrest. Explore models with extendable ottomans or footrests, so you know your feet won’t be left hanging.
Foot rollers/Reflexology: If you’re going to be on the lookout for an extendable footrest, it stands to reason you’d want it to come with massage benefits. Look for massage chairs that advertise foot or calf rollers, or that include a targeted reflexology program.
Size specifications: Make sure to check the massage chair’s reclined size dimensions, often included in a Details or Specifications section on a website. It’s best to look for reclined dimensions at or above 72” long x 36” high. For reference, 72” = 6’.
Zero gravity: Massage chairs with a zero gravity feature can recline until your body is horizontal to the floor, which relieves pressure on your spine and results in a weightless sensation. It’s great for full-body relaxation!

Massage Chair Store is Height-Inclusive
We stock our inventory with massage chairs that fit all bodies — because all bodies need relief! With these recommendations for big and tall massage chairs, you’ll never find your feet hanging off a footrest again. Fill out our consultation form today (there’s an option to specify height), and a massage chair specialist will help you find the best massage chair for your needs.
How We Picked These Massage Chairs
Our goal was to identify the best massage chairs for taller body types. We accounted for different settings and prioritized models that also offered a range of “must-have” features for massage chairs, including targeted massage techniques, zero gravity recline, 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 a regular basis to ensure all massage chairs are in stock, continue to meet our high standards and offer our customers the value they deserve.
