Looking for a massage chair is a complicated task. There is so much technology and so many choices. If you are starting out your research, then you know that massage chairs are not cheap. We have put together a number of questions that our customers said helped them the most to really zero in on the best massage chair for their long term needs. |
Who will be utilizing the Massage Chair?
You want to think about who the primary users of the massage chair are going to be. You need to think about if they have certain areas of aches and pains or if there are areas you really want to target. Also, add the height and weight of the individuals on the list. It is important to find a massage chair that will fit the body types of the main users. Get a good idea of what needs the massage chair needs to satisfy. Where would you put the Massage Chair? Do not let this become a major problem. We have unfortunately seen fights over the placement of the massage chair. You want to think about how a given room is decorated and if the model you select will go well with the room selected. Also, you want to be aware of the dimensions of the massage chair. You need to know its upright dimensions and its reclined dimensions. In the recline position, you may need 3 feet of clearance behind the massage chair. |
What functions are important in a Massage Chair?
Obviously, you want to get solid massage therapy from your massage chair. Think about the types of massage techniques that might benefit you. What types of relief do they provide? Maybe you need to think about the types of lifestyle you lead and what potential relief you may need in the future. The more you think about these things, the easier your decision will be because the massage chair fits your basic needs. |
What should be my budget for a Massage Chair?
If you do your homework on what you want out of your massage chair and also who will use it, then this can guide you pretty effectively. We have seen many times that when the features were really well thought out, then it could justify a larger budget to meet the person’s requirements. This is obviously not always the case, but you have to be willing to pay for the quality level that you need. Saving a little money now can sometimes cost you much more in the future. In other words, think about the longer term and buy it for a longer term investment. |
What warranty information do I need to know?
Remember that the warranty coverage is similar to getting insurance. You hope you never need it, but just in case, you have it. Just make sure that you have some level of coverage and you get a good feeling that the company will actually honor the warranty. We have seen too many people buy a cheap chair loaded with features and been promised comprehensive warranty-only to find that company out of business. You want to go with a recognized national brand like Sanyo, Omega, Panasonic, etc. |
These are the questions to ponder. Find out what your needs truly are and what they may be in the future. Find out what types of massage therapy can help you the most. Check out the warranty coverage and how long the company has been in business. If you pick up just some basic knowledge, then you can speak intelligently about what you really need. This helps the salespeople to really steer you to the perfect massage chair that will last your for many years to come. |
