Comparison Chart

When searching for a quality massage chair, there are several factors you must take into consideration. 

1. Number of Motors: you want to look at the number of motors a massage chair has. This will dictate two things. First, when you have independently working motors, you receive a stronger massage because of the power distribution among each motor. Second, the number of motors will dictate the life of your chair. When you have several working motors, you can distribute the workload among functions evenly. Motors can rest while the others work hard to soothe your aching body. When a motor gets used to often to perform several functions, it is more likely that the motor may burnout from overuse. Most chairs come with at least two rollers so the amount of rollers you have becomes less important. 
2. Adjustments: a chair needs to adjust to individual needs so that it can perform for different users. Depending on the individual needs, a chair can come with height adjustments going from you shoulder to you hips and width adjustment to massage the length of your shoulder. Others come with speed adjustment, strength adjustment and some even come with neck adjustment for neck massages.
3. Features: you may want to look for more features such as calf massages with various features such as vibration and massage for the lower legs. Some chairs will give you some options to choose from for a lower leg massage. Some chairs will also give you an electronic recline or a hydraulic recline. An electronic recline is controlled by remote where hydraulic recline will be manual.
4. Warranty: These ranges anywhere from 1 to 5 years depending on the quality of the chair. The warranties differ from limited warranties to extended warranties. Some may offer in-home 90 days service while others may offer a free shipping one way for one year. It all depends on the various brands and how much you expect to pay.
