Things to Pay Attention When Choosing 4D Massage Chairs

Depending on your needs, you might want to pay attention to some specifications that vary from chair to chair. But there are several features in common for all massage chairs that you should take into consideration before buying.

The preferred type of massage. 4D massage chairs have full-body, deep-tissue massage nodes that allow them to offer a variety of massage types. Vibrating, kneading, tapping, knocking, and compressing movements allow to mimic popular massage types, like Swedish, shiatsu, percussion, or deep-tissue massage.

The massage coverage. Different 4D massage chairs will have various areas of the body parts covered. The simplest ones will include only the back while more sophisticated 4D massage chairs will also cover head, neck, legs, feet, arms, and hands.

The massage tracks. 

• S-track in 4D massage chairs mimic the natural S-curve of the spine from the neck through to the lower lumbar region. While S-tracks are the shortest type, they are designed in a way that allows users to lay out flatter due to their shape. This provides better spine stretching and decompression.
• L-tracks in 4D massage chairs are larger than S-tracks and start at the neck through the lower back to the glutes or hamstrings providing a better full-body massage experience. Similarly to S-track, a curved shape along the back allows L-track massage chairs to support the natural curve of the spine.
• J-tracks have the largest range going from the neck to the legs. This type of a track has a recliner giving an opportunity to incorporate the back stretching and decompressing features. 

The massage programs. 4D massage chairs have programs with preset combinations that include different massage types and locations. Depending on a massage chair, there can be from 3 to 8 or more massage programs that focus on the time of the massage, a specific area or a full body. 

The massage settings. Most 4D massage chairs have settings that allow you to customize the massage experience by choosing different massage types, zones, intensity as well as chair recline and heat functions. In addition, easy-to-control settings, such as one-touch buttons, touch screens, remotes, and voice controls, make the massage experience more user-friendly. 

The 4D massage chair reclining angle. A recline option is a common feature for 4D massage chairs. Reclining angle increases the comfort and the experience of a user. The range of reclining angle can vary from 100 degrees to 180 degrees. However, the most recent models of 4D massage chairs feature zero-gravity recline that was initially developed by NASA. Zero Gravity positioning elevates your feet above your heart, relieves pressure on your spine, and improves circulation. This allows the spine to decompress and provides a sense of weightlessness to aid in the therapeutic benefits of the massage chair.

The additional features.What distinct 4D massage chairs from each other the most is the extra features. 

• The heat options can range from only the back to the entire length providing a soothing sensation and loosening your muscles to better prepare your body for the massage.
• The in-build music systems for a sound therapy that is designed to help you relax.
• The USB charges allow recharging your phone while you recharge your body.
• The light therapy or chromotherapy uses color spectrum to help balance one's physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental energy. Special programmed light therapy sequences help you wake up or wind down and can be combined with the perfect massage.
• The air ionizer facilitates healthy oxygen intake by emitting negatively charged ions to reduce intake of pollutants.
• The smart connectivity helps operate the massage chair right from your Apple or Android device through an app.
• Bluetooth speakers allow you to stream music, guided meditations, ambient soundscapes, and any other form of audio to enhance the mental experience of your massage.
• The space-saving technology allows the amount of space required between the chair and the wall to be just two inches.
• The rhythm sync massage enables massage strokes to marry up to the music being played through the speakers.
• The auto size leg extension features advanced sensors that autosize the leg extension for the perfect fit, every time.
• The rocking technology will rock the 4D massage chair back and forth in a metronome-based movement to provide the classic rocking chair feeling for soothing relaxation.
• The sleep mode enables sleep mode that keeps the massage chair reclined after your massage program ends; allow yourself to enter a deep state of relaxation until you decide to get up.
