Common Questions About Massage Chairs:

The answer is that no country makes the best massage chairs. It depends on the factory in each country that makes the massage chairs. There are excellent factories in Taiwan as well as factories that do a poor job. Japan also has poor manufacturers as well as good manufacturers. As you look for a massage chair, you should not be concerned about what country the chair comes from, but the quality of the factory and the reputation of the manufacture that imports the chair into the United States.

Each person you talk to has their own sales pitch to fit the type of massage chair they carry. The truth is there are different qualities of leather and vinyl. All of the top manufactures of massage chairs use vinyl because the chairs are equipped with heating capabilities. Leather cannot withstand the heating elements repetitive use and will eventually dry out a crack.  Did you know that if you have heated seats in your car that the part of the seat that heats is made with synthetic leather?  The synthetic material used in massage chairs also has a special elasticity that leather does not provide.  The robotic arms in the back of the massage chair pull and stretch on the material, only the elastic synthetic material can handle this repetitive use.  Under the same circumstances leather will rip or crack, because it does not stretch.  Cheaper chair companies use leather as a gimmick to get a few hundred dollars extra for their chairs.  BUYER BEWARE:  most chairs that claim to be leather are only 30% leather and mix and match the materials.  This leads to uneven wear patterns on the chair as the leather dries, cracks, and fades.

Many online companies import their own brand of massage chairs and call them the best.

Truth About Air Bag Massage:

Air bags in the leg area of massage chairs are becoming more and more common.  The problem is that all of the chairs on the market that have air bags do not use mechanical kneading to take advantage of the air bags.  What good is a massage chair with just air bags in the leg area? Have you ever had your blood pressure taken?  That is what air massage feels like. Why would anyone want a chair to just squeeze their legs or arms with balloons?  What therapeutic benefits are their from squeezing? None.  Using mechanical motors to massage your legs actually gives you therapeutic benefits that air bags alone do not.  With the PHP-2030 it uses mechanical motors to roll and knead your legs.  The PHP-2030 is the only chair that has this advanced mechanical calf massage motor system.  Why would anyone buy a massage chair with just air? 

Truth About Air Arm Massagers, Claws, Arm Cuffs:

The latest trend in massage chairs is to add arm massagers, claws, or air cuffs.  This makes the chairs very unattractive and does not do anything except squeeze your forearm.  If you have had your blood pressure taken you know what an arm massager feels like.  Air makes the chairs nosiy and does not add any therapeutic benefits.  Air hoses are also prone to dry out over time and crack causing the chair not to work appropriately.  In addition air bags can be punctured or rupture overtime as they dry out.  We do not believe in adding gimmicks to our massage chairs for the sake of adding a feature, that in truth does not add any value.

Warranties

Try getting other online companies to give you a copy of a massage chair's warranty.  Many companies are very shady about their warranties and do not want to disclose what is covered until after you have purchased the massage chair.  Here is Premier Health Products warranty in writing for the PHP-2030!
