Treating yourself to some well-being and relaxation is something no one should have to give up; let’s see how to choose the perfect solution.
Massage armchairs are no longer exclusive to wellness centres and waiting rooms. Let’s see how to choose one for your own home as well.
There is nothing more beautiful than enjoying a good quarter of an hour of pure relaxation; massages, pampering, small details to relieve the stress of the day. Do we have to make a daily subscription to the SPA? Of course not! There are much simpler, faster (and cheaper) solutions; massage armchairs, for example, are an interesting alternative.
Are you used to seeing them only in waiting rooms, relaxation centres or spaces such as airports? Well, know that you can have them at home too. ProduceShop offers several models in its catalogue, from the simplest to the most professional; choosing them, however, may not be an easy task. So let’s see how to do it together thanks to this practical buying guide!
What are they?
Basically, they are comfortable armchairs, manufactured according to slightly more modern designs. The materials are the classic ones, i.e. wooden or metal frames, fabric or leatherette covers, soft padding and cushions.
In addition, unlike classic relaxation armchairs, massage armchairs incorporate one or more electric motors; these drive rollers and balls which, moving according to specific programmes, massage the back, neck and legs.
Some have several additional features, such as a heating surface, and much more; but we don’t want to anticipate any point in the guide, so we will talk about them in a dedicated paragraph.
Where to put them?
First of all you need to understand why you are buying them: public or private use? Commercial activity or home? Relaxation space or wellness area?
As you can see, the possibilities are different; the destination and use, in fact, are the first factor to consider before going ahead with the purchase of these armchairs. An armchair designed for a wellness centre, for example, could be too bulky or too expensive for a flat; vice versa, if we need to insert one in our relaxation area at work, we will have to opt for a more complete model with more features.
The benefits of professional massage chairs
Obviously, if you’ve come this far, it means that you’re looking for a certain type of benefit in this article, which classic armchairs can’t give you (and maybe you want to complete the wellness set you started with some nice electric massagers). So what are the main benefits of regular use of massage chairs?
Your body and mind can actually benefit from them in many ways; to name just a few of the benefits we have:
- muscular relaxation
- circulatory reactivation
- release of contractures
- relief of neck pain and headaches
- alleviation of lower back pain and reduced risk of herniae
- mental relaxation
- improved posture and balance
- increased respiratory flexibility
- Reduction of stress and tension
Moreover, as if all these beautiful experiences were not enough, for some people the massage armchair is an excellent accompaniment in case of problems in sleeping.
All that’s left to do is find out how to choose the most suitable model among the many professional massage armchairs in the ProduceShop catalogue!
How to choose Professional Massage Chairs?
-
Dimensions
The size of the massage chair should obviously be based on the size of the room; a chair that is too bulky in a small room, as well as being unsightly, can be both a problem for moving around and for safety. Also, bear in mind that some armchairs can tilt/lift; the space they take up will change, so take into account the necessary surrounding area. Then consider the space in case you want to take several pieces and put them next to each other (typical in waiting rooms or wellness centres).
-
Design
The design of this kind of armchair, as we mentioned before, undoubtedly recalls the classic ones, even if in the details it is clear that we have in front of us furniture with a more modern design. Some of them are more clearly reminiscent of traditional relaxation armchairs, with a well defined seat, footrest, armrests and backrest; others are a more monolithic element, oval or round, a block in which to immerse yourself.
Clearly assess the cover, i.e. the material (fabric or leatherette) and the padding, which should be soft and promote comfort.

Motor
The motor, but in some models we also talk about motors, is what drives the rollers and balls that physically perform the massage. Make sure it is both powerful and quiet; no one wants to lie in a massage chair and then hear the deafening noise of an old motor. As for the power supply, consider the power consumption, and also place the chair near a power outlet. The average voltage is usually 220V-50Hz.

Type of massage
Obviously the chair will not be a simple vibrating seat; there are different types of massage, usually selectable. These vary according to the movement, intensity and pressure of the internal balls. Among the most common are
- roller sliding
- oscillation/vibration
- shiatsu, i.e. ball pressure on specific points
- by zone, i.e. selecting only certain points
- compressed air (usually in the leg compartment and sometimes in the arm compartment).

Functions
Additional functions are also important to consider. It may be that many people just want a massage chair, but maybe every little plus we discover can make us appreciate the product a little more. Additional features to consider include:
- adjustable massage intensity
- choice of areas to be treated individually
- switch-off timer
- Zero Gravity system, which raises the legs by tilting the chair
- heating system for the backrest and seat
- built-in Bluetooth speakers for music
- Body Presence recognition system, with which the chair recognises when someone is sitting on it and starts up
- remote control to control the functions and, in some models, a touch display.

Budget
Be aware of your budget. Generally speaking, this type of chair is not cheap, especially given the technology they require; if you do find less expensive models, you can be sure they will be cheap imitations that will break quickly.
For its catalogue, ProduceShop has selected only the most interesting models in the sector, choosing the most reliable and qualitatively safe suppliers.
