Download the Inada Massage Chair Comparison Chart Inada reclining massage chairs stand apart from all the other massage chair brands. Because of this, we encourage you to learn as much as you can about massage chairs. We know that the more you know and learn, the more brightly Inada products shine. Educated consumers recognize the superiority of Inada massage chairs. This is not to say that there aren’t other reputable massage chair brands available to U.S. consumers. Some examples of other massage chair manufacturers or distributors include the following: Human Touch Massage Chairs Due to the number of stores once operated as Sharper Image, many U.S. consumers are under the impression that Sharper Image massage chairs used to be sold through their stores.
In fact, the old stores were in the business of reselling other brands including massage chairs designed, developed, and built by Inada. The high-quality massage chair market is dominated by Japanese owned and operated manufacturers. This is not surprising as Japan is the single most competitive massage chair market in the world. Amazingly, over 22% of Japanese households own a robotic massage chair! Over the years, fierce competition in Japan has pushed the sophistication and reliability of Japanese massage chair brands to where they are today and well beyond what non-Japanese makers are able to produce. In general, any consumer seriously interested in quality should focus their attention on Japanese brands. Non-Japanese companies are all relative newcomers to the world of massage chairs and usually trail the Japanese leaders by many years in innovation. Often, these companies also deliver far less in reliability and overall massage performance. Worldwide, the leader in the luxury market is Inada.
The company has held this dominant position for many years, a position that was cemented in 2000 with the introduction of the Inada Chair i-series. This model line was a huge success in Japan, and it became Inada’s #1 selling luxury massage chair of all time. Even in 2010, iterations of the i-series continue to sell extremely well in Japan and the rest of the world. Since 2000, Inada has introduced the W-series of massage chairs, the D-series of massage chairs (D6 ROBOSTIC, D5 ROBO Chair), the DreamWave massage chair, CUBE, and the Doctor’s Choice massage chair (model 3A). Remarkably, every major introduction between 2000 and 2010 won a prestigious Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Innovations honor, a truly stunning achievement unmatched by any other massage chair brand. As you shop around, you will note that established massage chair dealers that are interested in quality focus their selection on the Japanese brands. Usually this is the result of experiments with lesser quality brand.
To date, those who know the massage chair business tend to agree that non-Japanese companies simply don’t measure up to Japanese manufacturing standards, massage quality, and after-sale support. By far, the best way to compare massage chairs is to try them out at length (30 minutes or more). Many websites will show you a table matching the specifications of one chair with another. If a chair has 12 motors or 10, doesn’t tell you about the quality of its massage. It is how the chair feels to you over the course of a full and proper demonstration that is the only way to determine which massage chair is best for you. Many comparison charts only let you compare a limited number of chairs. Again, we suggest going to a dealer of the chair you are considering purchasing with enough time to spend at least 30 minutes with each chair. Here is a description of a typical Inada Sogno DreamWave massage chair demonstration to give you an idea of what to expect. In the end, only an extended demonstration of a chair will provide you with the information you need to make the decision that is best for you.
If you must shop online, be sure that the seller is willing to accept returns without question and with little or no penalty. This is a must as you are at real risk of being stuck with something that costs thousands and delivers disappointment. Massage chairs – even the cheap and cheerful options in the market – are an investment. Do your research, and you’ll be much better off for it. The right massage chair – a good, reputable massage chair – will provide many, many years of trouble-free service and exceptional, life-changing benefits. Shop with care, and the payoff to you will be enormous. Shop poorly, hastily, or confuse “price” with “value,” and you may find yourself stuck with even more stress than you had before you bought your stress-relieving massage chair. If you must shop for a massage chair on the Internet, there are countless dealers and countless brands offered. Many sites present comparison charts, but consumers should view such feature comparisons with caution and healthy skepticism.
