Best Massage Chair Brands Review

Panasonic was founded in Japan in 1918 by industrialist, Konosuke Matsushita. Since the beginning of his business, Matsushita committed himself to the development of low-cost, high-quality products which he believed would “enhance the quality of life.”

With Panasonic, you can expect high-quality components, particularly electronic hardware. They incorporate advanced sensors, motors, and other electronics to deliver a high-tech massage.

The model that best represents Panasonic’s advanced technology and quality is the EP-MA73.

Its most notable features include:

Although the company had periods of developing products other than massage chairs, Inada had a change in perspective in which he concluded, “in order to make massage chairs as truly valuable products, we must devote our undivided attention to and specialize in them.”

With Inada, you can expect your high upfront investment to pay for years to come. Thanks to Japanese manufacturing, Inada massage chairs have a lifespan of about 25 years. Plus, they incorporate proprietary technology you won’t find anywhere else.

In 2008, Inada introduced the first ever full-body massage chair — the Sogno DreamWave. With its introduction, the massage chair industry was turned on its head and other companies quickly tried to replicate the design. Ten years later, the DreamWave is still revered as one of the best massage chairs in the world. 

However, you might not know that Osaki has a series of 100 percent Japanese-made massage chairs. The series consists of three high-end massage chairs: the Japan Premium 4.0, the Japan Premium 4S, and the Japan Premium 4D.

It’s because Osaki’s Japan Premium series is actually produced by a company called Fujiiryoki, also known as Fuji Medical Instruments. And like Inada and Panasonic, it’s one of the oldest massage chair companies in the world.

With Osaki’s extensive lineup, there’s a massage chair for each type of user — from recreational to medical and everyone in between. For recreational users, you can expect a feature-rich massage chair without the high price tag. For therapeutic users, you can expect a true medical-quality massage chair thanks to Osaki’s Japan Premium line.

The Osaki Japan Premium 4S is without a doubt one of the most advanced and quality pieces of massage technology money can buy. Its most notable features include:

While Osaki has models that are more advanced and more expensive than the OS-4000, its combination of features and affordability have made it one of the most popular Osaki massage chairs ever. Its most notable features include:

An important aspect of the Human Touch brand is their attention to aesthetics. Human Touch explains their mission is to “blend patented technology and ergonomics with contemporary design.” So Human Touch massage chairs are designed to not only perform a high-quality massage but to fit in with modern decor. Human Touch’s attention to aesthetic details means you not only get a high-quality massage but get an attractive piece of furniture.

While all of Human Touch’s design, engineering, and customer service take place at their California headquarters, their massage chairs are manufactured in China.

With Human Touch, you can expect a massage chair that not only performs well but looks good. Their chairs are made to match modern home decor and most are comfortable enough to be used as sitting chairs when not in use. Human Touch also offers massage chairs in every price range — from under $500 to over $8,000.

Human Touch’s most expensive and most advanced massage chair is the Novo XT. It’s decked out with the latest massage technology like an L-Track, music system, and 3D rollers. Plus, it looks like the sports car of massage chairs.

Perhaps the most compelling aspect of the Infinity brand is their combination of features. Their chairs bring together the most sought-after features and in combinations you won’t find on any other brand of massage chairs.

Infinity’s best selling model is the IT-8500 and it’s easy to see why. With the latest massage technology and an affordable price point, the Infinity IT 8500 checks off many massage chair must-haves, including:

Although American-made, some of Luraco massage chair’s non-critical components are made in Taiwan. Specifically, the structural hardware and leather.

Luraco is first and foremost a technology company. So you can expect some of the best technology and quality components in the industry. Plus, their chairs are manufactured in the U.S. which is a big plus for many users.

Luraco’s best-selling massage chair, the iRobotics 7, has earned numerous awards including Best Medical Massage Chair at the Consumer Electronics Association Show (CES) in 2015 and Best of Show at the CEDIA Expo in 2016. Its most notable features include:
