Snailax Full Body Massage Chair Pad Shiatsu Neck Back Massager with Heat and Compress, 3D/4D Kneading Full Back Massage Seat Portable Chair Massagers for Back and Neck, Shoulder Muscle Gifts

Full disclosure, I have never been a fan of massage seats, they have always disappointed. Due to chronic lower back pain I bought this one on its recommendations and boy, it doesn't disappoint at all. Firstly it is well boxed with no wasted plastic and rubbish (which is important) and immediately ready to use. Though I read the instructions you really don't need to, the controls are very intuitive and easy to use. The back pad gives a firm but not painful massage from very low to a reasonable height. I am 6'4" so the top of the back massage is just below my shoulder blades, but my wife is 5' as the back pad covers her back well. I am not disappointed with this cover for myself as it works well and feels great. The neck massage is truly height adjustable and I can vary this from my shoulders to the top of my neck, once again a firm and comfortable massage. (NOTE, my 5' wife found the neck massage was too high for her and didn't use it. However this is not a serious problem as the neck massage on this is really a support for the back massage and if you really need intense neck massage you should get a massage pillow that you can lie on and not use this in a seated position...it works much better for the neck).I have never been a fan of vibration massage and I did not know this had air massage points so I was not worried about these. I sat down and tried the back massage (excellent) experimented with spot massage on certain points (works excellently) and played with the neck massage (very nice) and then I saw the button marked "Auto". I pressed this and...OMG...WOW...it just started to combine all the elements including vibration and air massage and I nearly melted. The total effect is beyond the sum of the parts and each work well together, constantly altering and changing slowly to give a relaxing but never boring massage. I now use these even if I'm doing a spot massage on my lower back as the added vibration and air squeezing etc all help you relax into the important bit of the massage. Given that you can set this chair to focus on one thing, or do several...or just go on auto it is very, very flexible. And believe me, when you press auto it just takes over and carries you away, it's honestly wonderful.For direct problems I would say this chair is most suitable for back issues. You can focus on lower back or mid back etc and get an intense massage. If you put a cushion behind the rigid back so that you are laying back on it at an angle of about 20 to 25 degrees then the pressure increases and the massage is more intense. For neck massage it is fine, it will definitely help, but as I say for more intense neck massage you are better with a massage pillow. However, to get the neck massage as an extra while your back is being relaxed is brilliant. The seat mechanisms, vibration and air massage, are very pleasant in association with the rest but are not in themselves very therapeutic so this is not for really useful for problems with the Gluts or leg muscles. (No massage chair would be good for that, it is a different area and probably needs manual massage). However the intense back massage, the decent neck massage and the overall relaxing and therapeutic feel of the whole thing working together is WAY beyond my expectations and this is the first massage chair I would recommend in any way, and I recommend it very strongly.NOTE; It is easy to fold the seat up and slide this into a small space when not in use, easy and quick to get back out and very intuitive to use with an excellent controller.If you have a sore back, or if you just want the option to sit down for 15 minutes whenever you want and be treated to a delightful massage and pamper then get this, you won't be disappointed.I am not connected to this company and this is a neutral and non-biased review based only on my personal experience.Jeremy

I’ve had back ache for years, just pottering round the house is enough to bring it on, probably due to poor posture. 15 minutes on this machine relieves the discomfort and is very relaxing to use. The trick using one of these devices is to sit up straight and never lean back, just let the moving balls lightly touch you then you can find out how hard you want the massage by moving a little. Leaning back on it can be a little painful especially round the ribs. Finding the right position gives a really nice massage. This s is a well made gadget, highly recommended.

The massager is made of good material and gets deep into the back , neck. Its not that heavy as well so you can put it anywhere , the only slight problem is the seating cushion protrudes longer then my chair which casus you not to fill comfortable on your office chair and to feel like you are about slip off. Works on the coach chair 100% though.The massager seat is 44.45cm and my chair seat is 51cm which is good but the massager back board adds extra centimetres which is well over 51 cm

This is great .The massage is great and easy to use

I was visiting my in laws who owns a massage chair - those heavy chuncky and very expensive one. It felt really good and made me so relax. However, I don't have the space for it. I'm glad Ifound this portable massager on Amazon.What I like:1. Neck and shoulder height adjustment. Unfortunately, the neck and shoulder can't be done simultenously. It needs to be lowered to the lowest setting to massage the middle part of the shoulder. Then if I move it to the highest setting, it will massage my skull section. Really good when I get a headache.2. Massage the middle back and lower back. It targets the main muscle just like the bigger sofa massager3. Air pressure for the lower back - just like the bigger sofa massager though it's not fully wrapping the lower back but it feels good4. Vibration and heating - again it's like the bigger brotherAll in all it has all the functionalities that I tried at my in-law's with the exception of arms and feet massager which I don't really need (for now).It comes with a removable leather lining to soften the massage feeling - nice to have - but I dont really need it. it's useful if you let your friend use it and want to ensure its hygienic.It is portable but it is not light. So Idon't want to move it around too frequently (might do bad for my back!).Overall i'm happy with the product

So I have chair for few weeks and from start its not working good.It makes strange sounds,the air pump is not working.When I put hitting for back horrible smell coming like that electricity burning and it go off.

For a first use, it's pretty good. With all the functions and buttons, it's like a spaceship, not a massage chair 😄. Very well made. You'll have a blast playing around with the buttons. Make sure you put it on a straight chair or surface and adjust the back. After some fiddling around trying to find your best position, you'll figure it out. Heat level is decent, not too hot. It's pleasant. It fits well on most surfaces. We'll update if it keeps the shape and quality over time. Happy with the purchase.Update - After a few uses, the back actually started to hurt even worse. The "shiatsu" massage balls are super hard and actually hurt the back 😭. This is either for some really THICK skin or someone who doesn't have any back issues. I'm honestly disappointed this did not do the job. Oh well, it was worth a try.
