Massage chairs may be a larger upfront investment, but when you do the math, a $60 or so an hour can add up fast (not to mention the additional cost in gas plus your travel time). Why not “treat yo’ self” and bring the spa to you with an at-home massage chair? They’ll more than pay for themselves in the long run while providing relief to all your problem areas. Read our massage chair reviews to learn more.

Best Massage Chair Reviews

Some of the companies we reviewed offer multiple chairs so to lessen the confusion, we tried to choose the model that we thought was the most popular. We then chose the top four that we thought were best based on price, quality, massage comfort and techniques.

Read our massage chair reviews below to see which one will have you relaxing in no time (or literally tomorrow with those offering Amazon Prime shipping)!

Osaki Review

OS-4000 Zero Gravity Heated Reclining Massage Chair#2

View on Amazon

Osaki offers various models, all specializing in different things. For this review, we focused on the Osaki OS-4000 Zero Gravity Shiatsu Massage Chair which came in 2nd place for best massage chair. This chair works on nearly every part of your body. It uses vibration, air massage, rolling and heat therapy to relax your body. This chair is very large, which is not uncommon for most massage chairs but know that you will need more space than a typical recliner would need.

Pros

Cons

  • Foot roller
  • Air massage for hips and shoulders
  • Vibration seat
  • Massages many areas: shoulders, side, arms, hands, low back, neck, hips, calves and feet
  • Heat therapy on lower back
  • Comfortable
  • Takes up a lot of space
  • Prone to electric surges (to prevent this get a surge protector)
  • Chair is shipped unassembled and is heavy, so you’ll want a friend or two to help you with it
  • Expensive relative to our top pick

T&D Enterprises

BT-7672-MASSAGE-BK-GG#3

View on Amazon

T & D Enterprises’ BT-7672-MASSAGE-BK-GG Massaging Black Leather Recliner and Ottoman is another one of Amazon’s best-selling chairs. It focuses on 4 zones: upper back, lower back, thighs and calves.

Pros

Cons

  • Vibration and heat functions
  • Swivels and reclines
  • Comfortable
  • Affordable price
  • No shiatsu/rolling

Massage chair gives us so much of benefits.My grandfather is also using massage chair at home.After using massage chair,now my grander father is feeling so relaxed.

Great glad to hear it’s been beneficial to your grandfather! Thanks for sharing.

I’ve been experiencing MAJOR neck and back pain recently from my desk chair. Since I spend most of my day sitting in an office where I can’t use one of these chairs, coming home to get a massage from one of these I think is a very worthwhile investment. And will pay for itself in the amount of money I’ll save at the chiropractor!
