![]() These testers ranged from 100 to 309 pounds and from 5 feet to 6 feet 3 inches tall. None of these features were requirements, but they can be nice to have since they allow you to further customize your experience.Īdditionally, 30 testers (including myself) spent a collective 39 hours testing stationary massage chairs in our Long Island City, New York, office over three rounds of testing in 2020, 2021, and 2022. Worthwhile extra features: We gave preference to massage chairs offering additional features we deemed useful, including built-in speakers, USB charging ports, timers, a setting that lets you linger on a certain spot, and height/width adjustment settings.Generally speaking, we think it makes better financial sense to spend more on a chair that will perform better and last longer. Although we’ve previously tested stationary massage chairs in the $300 to $1,000 range, chairs in that price bracket often lack key features such as heating and full reclining, and those we tested were less sturdily built, less comfortable to sit in, and capable of massaging fewer areas than pricier models. In our 2022 round of testing, in response to reader requests that we consider higher-end options, we opened up our testing pool to include chairs costing as much as $10,000 to see how they’d fare against cheaper models. ![]() Considering that breakdown, we think it’s reasonable to spend a few thousand dollars on a massage chair, assuming you use it frequently and get a similar amount of enjoyment from it. So if you get a weekly 60-minute massage, you’re likely spending around $4,000 a year on massages, not including tips and other fees.
