Criteria for the Best Massage Chairs

Massage Chair Techniques & Features:

We examine the massage techniques available, such as kneading, rolling, tapping, shiatsu, or combination techniques. In many cases, these techniques are not found in all massage chairs so it is important to read the fine print to make sure you know what you are ordering. Each of these techniques is important in building a massage chair, because they help provide the deepest levels of relief and effectiveness. Features like zero-gravity and heating are must-haves in any massage chair, and should be standard in any option you decide to settle in on.

​

Massage Chair Customization Options:

A massage chair would be largely useless if it did not offer options to customize the settings to the users preferences, height, and weight. Things to consider when looking at customization options is levels of intensity, variation between modes, and timer settings. You'd be surprised to find that some massage chairs are only manufactured for a select group of people, and do not fit everyone. It is important to check whether or not the massage chair can accommodate different heights with extendable footrests.

​

Comfort:

Some massage chairs are made of leather, some of rubber, and some even have cheap plastic. The comfort of the massage chair largely depends on the budget and design reputation of the brand selling the chair.  You want a chair that has been tried and tested by happy customers.

​

Durability & Quality:

This is one of the most important pieces of criteria to consider when buying a massage chair. At Massage Chair Reports, we only have listed chairs that we believe completely satisfy our customers' needs for a quality chair, including level of electrical components, wiring, and the level of material sourcing. Some chairs are haphazardly manufactured in masses by factories, while others are built with intention and are designed to last. 

​

Price 

It is important to take into consideration the perspective of price. What you find in a chair that costs $12,000 will wildly differ from a chair that costs $5,000. Our goal is to give you the best value for what you are paying for — you shouldn't overpay for features that comes in a chair that costs less, and you also shouldn't invest in a chair that doesn't offer you all the features that you could benefit from and also may break down soon after you purchase it. This is why we've compiled some of the best massage chairs of today at best prices for the value.
