TOP Models For Less Than $1000 (Buying Guide & Reviews)

1. Human Touch WholeBody 7.1 – #1 Model Overall

Okay, this chair isn’t technically part of the list, but it deserves an honorable mention. We know it’s more than $1000.

But it is the best based on warranty, reliability, and brand. It doesn’t have all the features of the other chairs, but it will last,

Human Touch is one of the best brands out there, and this is their starter model, the WholeBody.

It’s a simple chair, but it does all the basics, including BodyMapping, air warming, figure-8 calf massaging, foot massaging, 5 auto-programs, and a very handy swivel base.

This chair might be (relatively) cheap, but you’ll get more than your money’s worth!

5 Auto Massage Programs – Choose a program that best suits your needs and lie back as the chair does the rest.

Body Map Pro – Gone are the days of endlessly pressing buttons to get to the right spot Human Touch’s Body Map Pro function allows you to select the right area off the map of the human body.

Patented Warm Air Technology – A luxurious stream of warm air is used to heat and relax the lumbar area.

Swivel Base – Who needs a swivel base on a massage chair? Everyone who’s tied it. It makes moving around much, much easier.

FlexGlide Roller Technology – The orbital roller technology incorporated by Human Touch’s new patented FlexGlide reduces pinching and friction for a seamless roller effect that’s more relaxing than any other.

Hidden Ottoman – It looks like a normal chair, but transforms into a massage chair. The calf wells which double as footwells are hidden under the seat of the chair so you can use your massage chair like a normal chair.

Figure-8 Calf Massage – Human Touch uses paddles for calf massages instead of traditional airbags. The paddles move in a patented figure-8 for better circulation.

Easy-to-Use Remote – Simple yet effective, the remote control is easy to use and not intimidating at all.

Human-Like Techniques – Stretch, Flex, and Tone Massage techniques are mimicked by the special massage rollers in the chair back for a truly unique massage experience.

Key Takeaway: The WholeBody might be slightly more expensive with fewer features than cheaper chairs, but it does give a very good massage and it won’t break without a good reason. It’s a better investment than some cheaper models.

.

Now that we have that out of the way, let’s take a look at some of the chairs under $1000 that rank the highest on our list.

Remember, we’ve picked only the best chairs in terms of features, reliability, and, of course, price. Here they are:

2. Real Relax Full Body – Best Zero Gravity Chair – TOP Price/Features Ratio

This is our number one pick in terms of reliability and a number of features.
The new 2020 Real Relax Full Body Massage chair model comes with Bluetooth speakers and 6 automatic programs.

While some people feel the shoulder massage is too weak, or the leg cushions too strong, the overall consensus is that, for the price, this chair is a very good buy.

Customer service is good, with chairs being replaced if they were delivered faulty, although a $150-$200 shipping fee may be asked for returns.

6 Auto Programs – The chair has 6 auto programs that use different techniques to help you relax and unwind from the most common ailments.

Back and Foot Heating – The heating pads in the lower back and feet help relieve tension and promote circulation to increase the rate of healing.

Foot Massage – The foot massage includes both rollers and airbags for complete relaxation. The footrests are also extendable for people with longer legs.

Easy to Assemble, Use and Move – The chair is easy to assemble, even though the manual isn’t the best. The control; panel is equally easy to use, with an adjustable timer and intensity features. And the handy rollers at the back of the base make the chair easy to move,

Zero-Gravity and Manual Recline – Like most high-end chairs, the Real Relax Massage Chair comes with a zero-gravity feature, and even if the chair isn’t connected to a power outlet is can still be used as a recliner.

Key Takeaway: In terms of features and quality, this is one of the best options. Unfortunately, it isn’t the best chair for tall people, but other than that this is your best bet for a high quality chair in this price range.

.

3. OOTORI Full Body

The OOTORI offers a good variety of features but only has 4 programs. It does, however, have an 8-point smart massage system across the back with acupuncture inspired foot rollers, making it quite a good all-rounder.

As with most off-brand chairs, OOTOI only accepts returns if there is a flaw with the product if there is a simple change of mind on your behalf you’re going to have to pay for shipping yourself.

That being said, this model does have a 3-year warranty.

8-Point Smart-Massage – The 8-roller smart-massage system automatically adapts to match the shape of your body and works in tandem with the air massage to give you a truly relaxing and tailored massage.

Zero-Gravity – Zero gravity puts you in the optimum massaging position so you can let go of stress and discomfort and lie back and enjoy your massage.

Acupuncture-Inspired Foot Rollers – The rollers in each footrest are designed to stimulate specific acupuncture points helping to relieve muscle tension and stress from your entire body.

Heat Pads – The heat pads help you to relax even deeper into the massage by heating up your muscles and helping them relax even more than just a conventional massage allows.

Bluetooth – The Bluetooth connectivity allows you to connect your device and play your favorite music through the 3D Dolby surround system to make your experience even more enjoyable.

Re-engineered Massage Design – With fewer airbags, but more coverage the new design intends to reduce malfunctions while optimizing massage quality.

Key Takeaway: This isn’t a bad chair, is does, however, have fewer programs and less airbags than the Real Relax Zero Gravity Chair. If you’re on the shorter side this isn’t a bad option but taller people should opt for a different model.

.

4. Zero Gravity Full Body Electric Shiatsu UL Approved

This zero gravity massage chair model is FDA and UL-approved with a returns policy that includes shipping even if there are no mechanical issues.

It has all the basic features a massage chair should have but only has three automatic programs, one being a stretch program. All programs come with adjustable speed, intensity, and pressure.

Space Saving Zero Gravity – Puts you in the best position to fully relax for a massage, taking pressure off your spine and allowing the power of gravity to help deepen your massage. The spacing-saving design only requires 10” wall space.

3 Automatic Programs – Includes a stretch program and adjustable speed, pressure, and intensity so you can adjust the massage to suit your personal preferences.

Airbags and Heat – A total of 35 airbags use pressure to massage your arms, hips, shoulder, thighs, calves, and feet, while the heat pads help to soothe and relax aching muscles and joints.

Key Takeaway: While this is a decent chair for the price it offers very few features compared to some of the other models. It does, however, offer no-payment returns if you are dissatisfied in any way which is a bonus.

.

5. BestMassage

While offering a wide variety of features this chair is known for malfunctioning and the returns policy does not cover postage and they don’t do in-home repairs either.

On the plus side, this chair does accommodate people up to 6’3” and offers 9 programs with adjustable intensity and a manual massage function with 7 different massage modes.

Fully Adjustable: You can adjust the angle, speed, width, intensity (3 levels), and pressure (4 levels) for a fully personalized massage with 7 different massage modes to choose from.

Airbags and Heating Pads – With 21 airbags located at the arms, hips, shoulder, thighs, calves, and feet heating pads in the back and foot sections help to add pressure and soothing heat to all the right areas for a relaxing massage.

Body Scanning – The smart body scan automatically measures the length of your spine as well as your weight for a custom fit and intensity massage while your neck, shoulder, waist, back, leg, and feet are completely supported.

Variety of Functions:

• 7 Massage Modes: kneading (can help improve blood circulation), tapping, stretching, shiatsu, combo, air pressure, heating.
• 9 preset auto massage programs, including special stretching programs for full-body stretching
• manual massage: allows you to control your own massage.

Key Takeaway: while this model offers some of the best features, it is a bit of a gamble as the customer service is bad, return shipping fees must be paid y the customer and it has a tendency of breaking… If you’re prepared to take this risk, this is a decent deal.

.

6. NFL Zero Gravity Full Body Electric Shiatsu

This model has some of the basic features of most massage chairs but doesn’t offer a very wide selection of programs.

It also has 8 “static rollers” that don’t track your spine, so they will continually massage in one place.

This is not the best model, with complaints about electrical issues across the board, but at a price, it might be worth it to try it out if you want a very basic massage chair.

Space Saving Zero Gravity – Puts you in the best position to fully relax for a massage, taking pressure off your spine and allowing the power of gravity to help deepen your massage. The spacing-saving design only requires 10” wall space.

3 Automatic Programs – Includes a stretch program and adjustable speed, pressure, and intensity so you can adjust the massage to suit your personal preferences.

Airbags and Heat – A total of 32 airbags use pressure to massage your arms, hips, shoulder, thighs, calves, and feet, while the heat pads help to soothe and relax aching muscles and joints.

Key Takeaway: This model offers very few features and has a tendency of giving electrical problems. It’s not made for especially tall people and it doesn’t fit short people well either. All in all it’s best not to buy his chair as there are other better ones on the list.

.

7. Deluxe S-Track by OOTORI

The Deluxe S-Track from OOTORI is worthy to consider, especially for people who have spinal issues. While it isn’t top of the range, it does offer S-track, which tracks the curve of your spine for a better massaging experience.

This chair has some very good reviews and generally performs better than expected.

Zero Gravity – With 3 zero gravity angles, this chair offers the most variety in this area, giving you the option to choose a position that’s most relaxing to you.

Heat and Air Massage – The airbags are located at the shoulders, arms, hips, and feet, and you can choose the pressure to suit your personal preference. The heating pad in the lower back help to relieve pain and soothe sore muscles.

S-Track – Provides an acupressure massage that hugs the s-shape of your spine for a more complete and relaxing massage.

Body Scan – The body scan ensures that the s-track fits the curve of your spine perfectly for a tailored massage.

Feet Rollers and Seat Vibration – Gives your feet and hips the attention they deserve to help relieve stress in these key areas.

Key Takeaway: This is a very good chair for the price with a lot of rave reviews. Bad customer service is a serious concern to consider before buying.

.

8. Mr. Direct New

This Shiatsu Massage Chair comes with 3 programs and offers a good variety f functions for the price, but it can be a bit intense for people who aren’t used to massages, or who are very sensitive to pressure.

It has most of the basic features you need, including zero gravity and 35 airbags. The rollers are static, though, which means they can wear into your spine.

8 Massage Points – The 8 massage points work together with the airbags to give you a relaxing whole-body massage.

Airbags – There are 35 airbags strategically placed at the shoulders, arms, seat, and legs to give a gentle pressure massage

3 Massage Programs – Each program offers a different type of massage, so you can choose the one that suits your mood the best.

Extendable Footrests and Zero-Gravity – The footrests extend to fit taller people, while the zero-gravity ensures you’re in the optimum relaxation position.

Key Takeaway: This is a reasonably reliable chair, once you’ve figured out how to use it. The intensity can be quite strong and this is a problem for some people, but for the most part it’s a good buy. There is however, very little information regarding customer service and returns in case something does go wrong.

Things to Consider Before Buying Massage Chair Under $1000

Because massage chairs are slightly more high-tech than any other furniture you have, there is a very real risk that something is going to go wrong with it and that risk is increased when you’re buying a cheaper chair.

That’s why it’s so important to look at the following aspects before buying a massage chair:

Customer Support

Buying a cheap massage chair is usually a gamble, so if something goes wrong, you want to be sure about the support you’re going to get.

So, make sure you know that the model you buy has good customer support. It’s always advisable to buy a massage chair directly from the seller and check the comments (especially the 1 to 3-star reviews) for comments on customer support.

Warranty and Returns

Cheaper chairs don’t always have a warranty and knowing what that warranty covers can save you a lot of effort in the long run.

For example, most cheaper chairs have a returns policy, but no in-home repairs.

On top of that, not all of the returns’ postage is paid for by the seller, so make sure of what costs you will be facing if the chair breaks before deciding to buy a specific model.

Repairs Fee

Okay, so sending the chair back is going to cost too much, but now the question is, is there someone in your general vicinity that can actually fix the chair?

Or will it become a gigantic ornament while you wait for a removal company, which you also have to pay for, to come and collect it…

Then there are, of course, the more obvious, but equally important considerations:

Cost

So you’re looking for a more affordable massage chair, but consider this for a second …

How bad is your health?

Is a massage chair a medical necessity or a luxury item?

The more you need the chair, the more I’d advise getting a high-end chair. Taking out a bit extra for a chair that’s going to track things like heart rate and blood pressure may be worth it for you.

Also, if you have back issues, getting a fully automated space-saving chair, which is usually more expensive is definitely a better idea than getting a cheap chair that you need to move around, and that isn’t going to track your spine – massage chairs can cause more damage than good if they are too harsh in the wrong areas…

More expensive chairs have better adjustment options and function to ensure your health and safety.

Massage Quality

While not always true, a good rule of thumb is that the cheaper the chair, the lower the quality of the massage, especially for calves and feet.

Where does your body hurt the most? Look for a chair that is best suited to target that specific area.

Health Considerations

If I haven’t made this clear enough already, they can be dangerous. They are big, heavy and can be brutal if you use the wrong setting on a particularly painful area…

That being said, some pains, like certain forms of sciatica (severely slipped disc or bone spurs), won’t be helped with a massaging chair. In fact, a slipped disc can be aggravated by the twisting movement offered by some chairs

Do, however, look for a chair with a heating function if you suffer from lower back pain.

If you have a medical condition and you are unsure whether a massage chair is a good option for you to consult your healthcare professional.

Not your masseuse or yoga instructor, yes they know a bit, but a biokineticist or a chiropractor knows a lot more.

Key Takeaway: Making sure you know what you’re buying into will help you protect your body as well as you bank-account

What is Massage Chair?

A good massage chair has mechanisms that tend to mimic a massage of a real human. Using a combination of air cushions, rollers, heating pads and vibrations the chair helps to relax your muscles with a variety of massage techniques including percussive, pressure and

Using these features and techniques, a massage chair targets all the major muscle groups, from the shoulders down to the calves.

At least this is the main concept of a massage chair, but some have fewer features than others.

Most chairs include a roller mechanism for the spine and air cushions for the legs, with basically all of them including a heating feature of some sort for the lower spine…

It’s a bit of giving and take with cheaper massage chairs. Some have fewer, but better features, while others have all the features you may want, but not a very good quality experience…

And that is why we have put together this list of chairs with the best balance of features, quality, and user experience, so you don’t end up with a chair that has all the greatest features, but that gives you a below-par massage.

Key Takeaway: We know what a massage chair is supposed to do and what makes having one worthwhile, that’s why we’ve only selected chairs that are not only a bargain, but offer a quality experience that won’t let you down.

FAQ:

Can Massage Chairs Hurt You?

YES! If you have a herniated disc or a pinched nerve, they are not a good option for you as they can make the condition worse.

That being said, muscle tenderness after the first couple of sessions on a new massage chair is pretty normal, especially if you jumped straight into the full-strength mode.

Bruising is never normal, and that means you’ve definitely overdone it.

If you have tenderness, it’s probably due to inflammation caused by tiny tears in super tight muscles.

If this is you, take a breather from the chair for a day or two then start on a softer program that’s less intense and work your way up.

Going all-out on a sore muscle will only cause it to cramp up more. To really get soft, supple, pain-free muscles, you need to start off slow and work your way up.

Can You Overuse a Massage Chair?

Yes, if you set the intensity too high or use it for too long in one session, it can cause discomfort or even pain.

But you can use your massage chair quite often, about twice a day, but for shorter periods of about 15-20 minutes.

Unless you are used to your chair, spending more than 20 minutes in it at a time can cause muscle soreness because your body is not used to being poked and prodded.

But, once you are accustomed to your chair, you can set it to longer programs. When you do, start off on a lower intensity than you use for the short programs to avoid tenderness or sores.

How Long Do Massage Chairs Last?

That depends entirely n the chair you choose. They can last anywhere from one day to several years. That’s why it’s so important to make sure you’re getting a reliable model from a brand that offers a good warranty or returns policy.

What is a Shiatsu Massage Chair?

It uses airbags to provide a variety of pressure and stretch massage that releases tension and improves energy flow.

What is an L Track Massage Chair?

When viewed from the side, the massage rollers follow a basic L-shape as they run up and down your spine, curving under the glutes to release tension along the entire spinal column.

S-track only covers the torso to the top of the hips, tracking the s-shape of your spine.

The absolute best is to get an SL-Track, which tracks both the natural curve of your spine as well as extending below the glutes. This provides even pressure along the length of your spine as well as the glutes.

Are Massage Chairs Dangerous?

Although they are typically safe to use, users should be cognizant of the possible risks involved while operating them. For instance, those with existing medical conditions or trauma may suffer injury due to the mechanical motions of the massage chair recliner. It is important for users to take precautions and consult a physician if they have any concerns before using.

Misusing the massage chair, such as sitting on it for too long or often can cause muscle aches, bruising, and even tissue damage. Therefore, you should make sure to read all instructions provided by the manufacturer carefully and talk with a medical professional before using if you have any health issues.

Does a Massage Chair Use a Lot of Electricity?

The electricity consumption of massage chairs can range, depending on the features and model. However, these chairs are crafted to be energy-efficient by design – meaning that you don’t have to worry about your power bill skyrocketing after installing one in your home.

Everything from the intensity of your massage, to how long it’s used for and even additional features such as heating or vibration, will affect just how much power is utilized. Surprisingly though, on average massage chairs consume less electricity than home appliances like refrigerators or air conditioners.

What is the Difference Between Cheap and Expensive Massage Chairs?

The difference between cheap and expensive massage chairs is substantial and multifaceted, primarily rooted in their construction, features, and overall performance. Below, we delve into the key distinctions that separate these two categories:

1. Build Quality and Materials:
   • Cheap: Inexpensive massage chairs typically employ lower-grade materials, including subpar synthetic leather and less durable internal components. This can result in a shorter overall lifespan and less robust construction.
   • Expensive: Premium massage chairs use high-quality materials, such as genuine leather, top-grade synthetic leather, and durable internal mechanisms. This superior build quality ensures longevity and durability.
2. Massage Techniques:
   • Cheap: Lower-priced models often offer basic massage techniques like rolling and vibration. These chairs may lack the complexity and precision of more advanced massage techniques.
   • Expensive: Expensive massage chairs provide a broader range of massage techniques, including kneading, tapping, Shiatsu, and more. Some even feature 3D or 4D massage rollers for a more immersive and precise massage experience.
3. Customization and Adjustability:
   • Cheap: Budget-friendly options tend to have limited customization options. Users may have fewer control over massage intensity, speed, and area coverage.
   • Expensive: Premium chairs offer extensive customization, allowing users to tailor the massage to their specific preferences. They often include adjustable settings for intensity, speed, and massage techniques, ensuring a personalized experience.
4. Advanced Features:
   • Cheap: Less expensive models may lack advanced features like body scanning technology, zero-gravity recline, and heat therapy, which enhance the massage experience and overall comfort.
   • Expensive: High-end massage chairs are equipped with a wide array of advanced features, such as body scanning to adapt to the user’s body shape, zero-gravity recline for optimal relaxation, airbag systems for a full-body massage, and even Bluetooth connectivity for music and app integration.
5. Warranty and Support:
   • Cheap: Inexpensive massage chairs often come with limited warranties and may lack comprehensive customer support. This can be a drawback when it comes to addressing potential issues.
   • Expensive: Premium models typically offer more extended warranties and better customer support, providing peace of mind and protection in case of malfunctions or defects.
6. Overall Comfort and Ergonomics:
   • Cheap: Budget chairs may not prioritize ergonomic design and comfort, potentially leading to discomfort during prolonged use.
   • Expensive: Expensive models are designed with user comfort in mind, featuring ergonomic designs, cushioning, and a focus on providing a luxurious and relaxing experience.

In conclusion, the distinction between cheap and expensive massage chairs is substantial and extends across build quality, features, customization, support, and overall user experience. While budget-friendly options can provide basic massage functions, investing in a high-end massage chair offers superior build quality, advanced features, and a more personalized, comfortable, and long-lasting massage experience.

What Do Chiropractors Think About Massage Chairs?

Chiropractors generally view massage chairs as beneficial tools for promoting relaxation, reducing muscle tension, and complementing chiropractic care. The mechanical massage techniques employed by these chairs can contribute to overall well-being and may provide relief from certain musculoskeletal issues. While chiropractors emphasize the importance of individualized care and manual adjustments, they often acknowledge the potential therapeutic benefits that massage chairs can offer.

Massage chairs are recognized by chiropractors as valuable adjuncts to traditional chiropractic treatments. The mechanical manipulation and kneading actions of massage chairs can help improve blood circulation, alleviate muscle stiffness, and enhance flexibility. These benefits align with chiropractic goals of promoting musculoskeletal health and relieving discomfort.

However, it’s important to note that chiropractors typically emphasize the importance of a comprehensive approach to wellness. They may recommend massage chairs as part of a broader strategy that includes regular chiropractic adjustments, exercise, and lifestyle modifications. Chiropractors may caution against relying solely on massage chairs for addressing complex or chronic issues, as a hands-on assessment by a chiropractic professional is crucial for diagnosing and treating specific conditions.

In summary, chiropractors generally view massage chairs positively, recognizing their potential to enhance relaxation and relieve muscle tension. While they may not replace the need for personalized chiropractic care, massage chairs can be a valuable complement to support overall musculoskeletal health and well-being.

Do Massage Chairs Really Work?

The idea behind massaging chairs is to relieve stress and tension in the body by utilizing the biological principle of collagen. This is a protein-rich substance that is responsible for regulating the production of other parts of the body. As you massage your back using these massaging chairs, the desired effect is to increase the production of collagen and its by-product, hyaluronic acid.

Massaging your back using a massaging chair can be an efficient way of relieving the associated pain and strains caused by physical and emotional stress. The effect will be a more even distribution of weight along the back, which will improve the circulation of blood and will relieve the pain. But, before you rush to pick up a massage chair, consider these points to be careful when choosing one: Choosing the correct chair for you. The legs should be as long as it is wide so that it accommodates the body properly.

Final Words

Now that you know what to look out for in a massage chair, especially the cheaper ones, you’ll understand our recommendations.

The Real Relax offers the best balance between the number of features, reliability, and customer service.

Steer clear of the BestMassage and NFL, unless you’re a gambler at heart and willing to deal with bad customer service and electrical issues from day one.

The Deluxe S-Track is great for people with spinal issues, while the UL and FDA-approved Shiatsu Chair have some of the least complaints of all the chairs listed.

Of course, if you have serious back problems, it may be worth considering a massage chair for under $3000 instead of a very cheap one. They’re still affordable and offer better quality massages.

You can also consider the Human Touch Full Body which is under $2000 for a rather good chair, even if it doesn’t have all the features of some of the cheaper chairs, it comes with a g
