Are you thinking of investing in an electric massage chair but you don't know which one to choose from all options? At Komoder, we understand that choosing the right chair can be a challenge.
Why choose an electric massage chair? Key benefits
An electric massage chair offers much more than a simple moment of relaxation. Its benefits, supported by technology and ergonomics, include:
- Muscle pain relief: massages help reduce muscle tension, relieve back pain, neck and shoulders, and improve flexibility.
- Stress reduction and anxiety: stimulation of pressure points and rhythmic movement promote relaxation and reduce cortisol levels (stress hormone).
- Improvement of blood circulation: massage favors blood flow, which can help reduce inflammation and improve tissue oxygenation.
- Sleep improvement: muscle and mental relaxation that provides a massage armchair can facilitate sleep conciliation and improve its quality.
- Comfort and convenience: Enjoy a professional massage in the comfort of your home, at any time and without the need for appointments.
Types of electric massage chairs: Find the ideal for you
The electric massage chairs are mainly classified according to the massage technology they use and the areas of the body that cover:
2D massage chairs
These massage chairs use rollers that move in two dimensions: up and down, and from side to side. They offer a basic but effective massage, ideal for those looking for an affordable and simple option.
3D massage chairs
The rollers of these massage chairs move in three dimensions: up and down, from side to side, and in and out. This allows a deeper and more personalized massage, better adapting to the curvature of the back and reaching more specific areas.
4D massage chairs
The 4D technology adds a fourth dimension: the variation of speed and intensity of the rollers during massage. This simulates more realistically the hands of a professional masseuse, offering a more complete and therapy experience.
SL-Track massage chairs (or L track)
These chairs have a "S" or "L"-shaped rail that allows the rollers to move from the neck to the buttocks and, in some cases, to the hamstrings. They offer more complete coverage than massage chairs with straight rail.
Zero gravity massage chairs
These massage chairs recline the body in a position that distributes the weight uniformly, reducing the pressure on the spine and favoring relaxation. This position, inspired by the posture of astronauts, maximizes the benefits of massage.
Key features to be considered in an electric massage chair
In addition to the type of massage, pay attention to these characteristics:
- Pre-established massage programs: They offer different types of massage (kneading, hit, shiatsu, etc.) and routines for different needs (relaxation, muscle recovery, etc.).
- Personalized adjustments: allow regulating the intensity, speed and massage zone to adapt it to your preferences.
- Body scan: Some massage chairs scan the shape and size of the body to adjust the massage precisely.
- Airbags: airbags that inflate and deflate to apply pressure in different parts of the body, such as arms, legs and feet.
- Thermotherapy: Application of heat in specific areas, such as back or feet, to relax the muscles and improve circulation.
- Stretching function: Some massage chairs offer stretching programs that help improve flexibility and reduce rigidity.
- Bluetooth and Chromotherapy speakers: extras that improve the relaxation experience.
- Materials and Design: Choose lasting and easy to clean materials, and a design that adapts to your space and style.
