Of course, it is still possible to buy a very high-quality massage chair relatively cheap. Please use our offer page or have a look at our massage chairs exhibits by.

If you want to compare different massage chairs with each other, you can use our uncomplicated chair comparison for this. This way you are guaranteed to find your dream massage chair at the best price!

What should I look for in price comparisons?

First get an overview. Which functions are essential? Why is the massage chair being purchased? Is it to alleviate suffering? Is it more about a better regeneration after sports or about relaxation?

Massage chairs are available in almost every price segment. That is why we have divided our assortment not only by manufacturer and brand, but also offer budget categories. From under 700€over 3.000€ - 5.500€up to over 7.000€, with us you are guaranteed to find your dream chair!

One thing is certain. Regular use of a massage chair, with the right choice of chair, can also bring long-term health benefits that are difficult to put a price tag on.

Sufficient free area

Before you buy a massage chair, you should see how much free space you have. A massage chair needs enough space not to be limited in its function. For example, some massage chair models offer a reclining function, which increases the amount of space used. Therefore, pay attention to the size of the chair and measure the space at home exactly to make sure that it fits perfectly into your living area.

Different massage techniques

Most high-quality massage chairs not only offer different massage styles, but can do more than "just massage your back". Many full body massage chairs offer a leg and foot massage function, and some chairs can even massage the arms and hands. These targeted massage options are usually performed by airbags, massage heads, or rollers that are distributed throughout the chair.

Different massage programs

Most massage chairs have between 3 and 30 pre-programmed massage options. These provide a unique, timed massage that targets specific areas of the body. The more advanced massage chairs usually have body scanning technology that checks the reactions of the different areas of the body and adjusts the massage accordingly.

The more automatic programs a massage chair has, the less repetitive the massage experience. The programs can even be combined or customized. So a wealth of options ensures that no two massages are the same!

Price and performance ratio

In any case, the price-performance ratio should be fair. Massage chairs, with various massage and additional functions, of course, are associated with corresponding acquisition costs.

On our store you will find exhibition pieces or returned knives, offers and various comparison options. If you still have questions, you can of course take advantage of our free consultation offer. We are guaranteed to find your dream massage chair!

The proper care of your massage chair

If you have already bought a massage chair, you certainly want to enjoy your chair for a long time. To ensure this, it requires proper care. The care of a massage chair does not require much effort and is done quickly and easily.

Most massage chairs have a cover made of genuine leather or high-quality imitation leather. Cleaning with a damp cloth can be done easily in both cases. However, use a somewhat coarser material here or do not scrub too long in one place, otherwise the material can get signs of wear. This also applies to cleaning agents that contain alcohol or are generally "sharp". These cleaning agents can damage the surface and make the material porous.

Cleaning with a soft cloth and clear water is usually highly recommended. In this way, dust or light dirt can be easily removed. There are special cleaning and care products for leather massage chairs.

Summary

The range of massage chairs is now incredibly extensive. So it is not always easy to know which is the best chair for your own wishes and needs. 

With the previous tips, we hope to have provided you with assistance in buying a massage chair. Buying a massage chair means acquiring pleasure and relaxation at the highest level for a long time!
