TGR's BEST Pick Awards
What You Should Consider While Shopping for a Massage Chair?
Weight Limitation – Massage Chairs will often come with weight limitations. Be sure you know what they are before you purchase one.
Height Limitation – Massage Chairs will often come with height limitations. You wouldn’t want to purchase a massage chair that maxes out at 6’2 when you’re 6’6. One thing to watch out for is the false advertisement. Make sure there are foot extensions so that the massage chair can accommodate different heights for usage.
Seating Width – If you haven’t noticed, the width dimension is also included in the massage chair listing. This is especially important if you are wide in the chest and/or thigh area. Most chairs are in the 20 inches range, but the chairs listed above can be wider. If you’re buying a massage chair, you better make sure you can sit in one.
Automatic Body Scan Technology is a great feature with sensors to adjust the massage rollers to your body type. When looking for a massage chair, make sure it has this functionality.
Shipping and Assembly is something to really think about. Some retailers offer white-glove delivery service which the shipping carrier will bring it into your home and assemble it. Others might just drop off a 300+ pound massage chair at your doorstep. Whatever route you choose, make sure you plan properly.
Brand Reliability will ensure your massage chair will be last a long time and is ready to be serviced if not. Massage chair pricing incorporates the manufacturer warranty and service quality. Keep this in mind when shopping for a massage chair that you plan on using for many years.
Lastly, Do Your Homework and do not rely on one article for all your purchasing needs! Specifications change and so do user reviews. Not to mention returning one can be troublesome and may cost you restocking fees up to 20%.
Hope this article helps and look out for the YouTube video for more information coming soon!
