When
searching for a high quality massage chair, there are several key factors we recommend you take into consideration.
- The Number of Motors: look at the
number of motors massage chair offers. When you have independently
working motors, you will receive stronger massage, and also
reflect the lifespan of your chair. When you have numerous
quality motors, you can distribute the workload among functions
equaly.
- Number of Adjustments: a chair
needs to adjust to your personal needs. Depending on the
users needs, a chair can offer height adjustments from your
neck. Some offer speed adjustment, strength adjustment,
heat, digital LCD, and multi-massage simultaniously.
- Massge Length
Stroke: Popular like always offers the leading
edge in research and design of shiatsu massage chairs boasting
31.5 inch massage stroke on the 600 series massage chairs.
This means from coccyx to cranial (base of scull to upper
gluteal region) you receive a massage you won't soon forget!
- Special Features: look for more
features such as calf massages with various features such
as kneading, vibration and massage for the lower legs. Some
chairs will give you some options to choose from for a lower
leg massage and will also give you an electronic recline
or a hydraulic recline. An electronic recline is controlled
by remote where hydraulic recline will be opperated with
a manual lever .
- Length of Warranty: These will usually
range anywhere from 1 to 5 years depending on the quality
of the chair. The warranties do differ from limited warranties
to extended warranties. Some will offer in home 90 days
service repair, others may offer free shipping one way for
one year, or free replacement parts/tools for customers
convenience.

The human body, at
peace with itself, is more precious then the rarest gem. Cherish
your body, it is yours this one time only. The human form
is won with great difficulty, it is easy to lose. All worldly
things are brief, like lightning in the sky; This life you
must know as the tiny splash of a raindrop; A thing of beauty
that disappears even as it comes into being. Therefore set
your goal, make use of every day and night to achieve it.
