Massage Chairs: A Tool For Better HealthOne of the most important things to remember about a massage chair is that it's a healthcare tool, not just a piece of furniture. Massage chairs today are very advanced machines with hundreds of moving parts; they're just not built like your average la-z-boy. There is not a single high-end massage chair on the market that will make a truly great recliner. In order to make a massage chair that you'd want to plop down and watch the game in, you would have to put a lot of padding between the massage gears and your back, and that would make for a pretty unimpressive massage.
There are some things that a massage chair company can do, however, to make their chairs more comfortable when not being used for massage. Some chairs, like the PHP-2026, automatically hide their massage rollers in a pocket behind the head pillow when the chair is not in use. This means that the
PHP-2026 massage chair from Premier Health Products is among the most comfortable high end massage chairs on the market.
In short, if you want a cushy comfy arm chair, buy a la-z-boy. If you want real therapeutic massage and a tool for better health, buy a high end chair like the PHP-2026.
