Coolest Massage Chair Design Ideas For Your Living Room

“Massage chairs are all the rage right now,” says professional massage therapist and editor for Health Irony, Julia Stearns, adding that leading manufacturers such as Human Touch are adding new innovative features to their products every year!

But why should you get a massage chair for your living room? It’s certainly not because Julia says so. It is because these massage chairs designed to help you avoid aches and pains, and might even help you fight against anxiety and depression.

The science behind massage chairs is evolving fats. Not only will you find feature-packed massagers with side doors, chromotherapy, and Shiatsu, you can find massage chairs that help you fight mood swings and emotional distress.

Robin Hamilton, a physical therapist and massage expert at Wellness Wires, points out: “When companies keep adding new & innovative features, it is good for everyone and all other companies forced to follow suit. At the end of the day, it is good for the consumer.”

It’s also good for the consumer, aka you, to keep your purpose in mind before getting any massage chair. That’s why I’m here for.

I, too, have a massage chair at home. I worked with my physiotherapist and chiropractor before getting one. 

Below are the three coolest models to consider for your living room:

Lamborghini Massage Chair

The Lamborghini Boyfriend is touted as a super high-tech massage chair model that can help you live longer and healthier.

This mammoth is enhanced with features like measurements of your vital signs to adapt its massages according to your needs. It can even remember your favorite settings and favorite massage spot, and you have all the privacy you need because it only unlocks with a fingerprint pattern authentication.

I tried the Lamborghini in a showroom, and it fit me right off the bat. Its strong, kneading movements made me feel like this chair should be called the Bad Santa Boyfriend. People who’ve seen the movie will get it.

But enough with these innuendos. Let me tell you why my PT recommended this chair:

• It has a 4D massage system with all the rollers, heat, and airbags to get a comprehensive massage.
• You can easily personalize your massage sessions.
• The controller is easy to use and to reach.
• You can sleep better and relieve anxiety thanks to the LED mood lighting, aka chromotherapy.
• You can relax by playing your favorite tunes that blast through the multi-channel surround sound system with eight speakers.
• You can relieve anxiety and increase your focus with the brain massage.

The only problem with this chair is that it’s pricey and not really suited for petite people.

But, I like how the Lamborghini Boyfriend looks in my living room. Ooops, did I spill the beans too fast? Yep, it’s what I got. But the following models are pretty close to perfection too.

Summary: The Lamborghini Massage Chair will put your recovery at high speed with its 4D massage system that reduces stress and alleviates spinal pressure.

OHCO M.8 Massage Chair

The Japanese-made OHCO M.8 massage chair boasts some unique features, and it’s a pretty innovative model. I needed a massage chair that could alleviate my chronic back pain, as well as the stress and anxiety of having to live with it.

I considered the OHCO M.8 because of the combination of aromatherapy and chromotherapy for my moods, plus the high-tech features like the heated rollers, calf kneading, and zero gravity.

And it’s not often you see a massage chair with a side door. Here’s what you can get out of the chair:

• A side door for mobility-challenged people
• LED Lighting to see the chair better
• Thera-Elliptical Calf Kneading to soothe tired calf muscle and improve circulation, especially along with the mechanical calf rollers
• Aromatherapy and air ionizer for improved mood and healing
• A deep massage courtesy of the L-track design with 3D rollers that move all over your spine, including inwards
• Infrared heating to relax your muscles, reduce pain, and improve circulation
• Zero-gravity to stretch your spine and take the pressure off your back

The reason I didn’t get this chair is that you can see almost the same features, if not better, with more affordable models, like Kahuna 6800. And the stretching feature didn’t convince me at all because the OHCO M.8 only seems to pull on your legs instead of stretching your back.

Summary: The OHCO M.8 is a feature-packed chair that’s best for mobility-challenged people who need a deep, relaxing massage.

Human Touch Super Novo

Human Touch is a legend of massage chairs. You can’t not take into account their models before deciding on a massage chair.

The chair looks like a time-capsule. Or a giant donut. But it has some advanced features, including:

• A virtual therapist to customize your massages
• An L-track that massages your body up to under your butt
• Heat therapy for the feet, calf, and knees. A heated massage for the knees is not something you see very often, so this is a good choice for people with knee injuries
• A super-awesome sound system called Altec Lansing
• Thirty-eight various programs so you can easily choose the right massage for your needs and preferences. With such a wide array of options, you can change between relaxation, deep-tissue or recovery.
• Cloud-touch Acupressure delivers a heavenly relaxation massage, especially in combination with the Full-body stretch
• Zero-gravity to improve your circulation and relieve spinal pressure
• All the bells and whistle for programming your massages and changing settings, plus a space-saving design and battery-saving option in case of a power outage

So why didn’t I pick this chair? Although it has a good back and calf massage, I wanted a chair that also helps my anxiety-related insomnia. And nothing compares with Lamborghini’s LED mood lighting and brain massage.

Summary: HT Super Novo is best for people in search of tons of built-in massage options, which generally means people who are new to massage chairs.

In Conclusion

Never settle for a chair that doesn’t fit or look beautiful even though it’s marketed as the best.

Both my physio and my chiro advised me to have the Human Touch Novo, but I prefer the Lamborghini. Although the Lamborghini Boyfriend delivers a rougher massage and has fewer options, I love it from a design standpoint. 

You can choose any model that fits perfectly into your living room, your lifestyle and, of course, your health.
