A massage chair could be just the thing missing from your home

The benefits associated with electric massaging chairs are numerous, and you don’t even have to leave your home to reap those.

What are the benefits of a massage chair?

Most of us already know that massage chairs are great for loosening muscle contractions and help you relieve stress and anxiety so you end up feeling relaxed, but did you know that you can count improved blood flow and correct posture among the proven benefits of electric massaging chairs? Here is a list of the most widely known benefits of massage chairs:

• Stress and anxiety relief

• Reduced tension

• Reduced headaches and body aches

• Alleviated sore muscles

• Decompressed spine

• Stimulated blood circulation

• Stimulated lymphatic drainage

• Immune system boost

• Improved posture

• Increased flexibility

• Improved sleep

Buying a massage chair: Here's what you should know

The many health benefits, the mental relief and general well-being you get, as well as the ease of use of a massage chair are amazing perks. However, if you have back problems that won’t go away, you should definitely talk to your doctor. A massage chair does not replace a professional massage given by a masseuse. And it also doesn’t replace physical therapy, if that’s what you need.

Another aspect to keep in mind is that buying a massage chair can be quite an investment, especially if you’re thinking about getting a high-end massage chair with advanced technology. If you’re ready to make that investment, make sure your weight falls within the working weight limit of your massage chair, so you can use it safely, without voiding your warranty.

By the way, did you know that we have a chair choice assistant at vidaXL? You read that right. If you need help picking out a chair, all you have to do is take a quick, free online quiz to find out which chair may be best for you.

How do you choose a good massage chair?

The truth is that a massage chair is a substantial investment, but your health and comfort are worth that investment, right? Nonetheless, for you to make an informed choice, there are quite a few aspects we think you should consider:

• Features and functions

• Target areas

• The massage Chair Size

• The cost

Massage features and functions

From adjustable backrest and footrest options to reclining or heat functions, massage chairs can come with a variety of massage features and characteristics. The options are endless! At vidaXL you’ll even find electric massage recliner chairs that come with a side pocket for your remote control. You just have to figure out what you need. 

All vidaXL, all products have clear and comprehensive product descriptions and specifications, so make sure you check those out.

Target areas

Consider the areas you would like your massage chair to cover. If you want more than an upper and lower back massage chair, maybe you should consider a massage recliner chair that includes more massage points.

Would you appreciate a head, seat, legs, or feet massage function to massage your pain away and get rid of the stiffness? Some massage chairs even cover shoulders, or thighs and others provide a full-body massage.

The massage Chair Size

Chair size is also relevant, especially if you need it to be a specific height or if you’re searching for a particular weight capacity. Keep in mind that we have massage chairs with adjustable backrests and footrests.

The size of the massage chair is also important if you don’t have a lot of space to work with. We list size specifications for all our products precisely to ensure that you make the right choice according to your particular needs.

The cost

As we’ve already established that buying a massage chair can be quite an investment, you need to figure out if the investment is worth it for you. You don’t want to invest in a massage chair only for it to become decor in your living room.

On the other hand, if you’re already spending a lot on professional massages, by owning an electric massage chair you would be saving a lot of money. If you’re someone who likes having or needs a massage weekly, then you’d probably have your massage chair paid off in a year.

Whatever the case may be, if you’re determined to invest in your own electric massage chair, setting your budget beforehand would really help.

Where can you place a massage chair?

We’ve all seen massage chairs in malls, waiting rooms, car dealerships, hotel lobbies, and conference rooms. Moreover, some companies have massage chairs in their break or relaxation rooms for their employees to use.

But where do you place a massage chair if you live in a house or an apartment? Finding the perfect spot for your massage chair shouldn’t be difficult. You can basically place it in any room as long as you have enough space. Besides your home office, you can find a spot for it in the bedroom, living room, playroom, home gym, or even your garage.

If you’re going for a cohesive look, at vidaXL you’ll find varied designs available to match your home style.

Are massage chairs worth purchasing?

Whether you’re thinking of buying one because you simply love massages, have back pain from working at the desk, or crave relaxation at the end of a busy working day, a good massage chair comes with unquestionable benefits. Do the expected benefits outweigh any possible drawbacks in your particular case? Then go for it!

If you are dealing with chronic pain, a massage chair can be part of your healing strategy along with a good night's sleep, avoiding stress, consistent stretching, and exercise.

Even if a massage chair can be quite costly, it’s definitely worth the money if you know you’ll use it regularly.
