Are you or someone you know is taller than 6’4”? 

Yes!

We know how difficult it is to find a most expensive massage chair for a comfortable experience. It’s like looking for a needle in the haystack. Most chairs are  designed for 6’2” individuals, leaving taller people with uneven rollers and narrow leg rests. 

But they say modern problems need modern solutions! Many manufacturers are now designing chairs that specifically cater the needs of users taller than 6’. These massage chairs have features like extended backrest, wider seats, adjustable footrests for ultimate comfort. 

So, if you are more than 6’ tall and hunting for a comfy and cozy massage chair, here’s something that might interest you. 

As the blog moves further, we will examine why height-specific massage chairs are important and what factors to consider. 

Height-Specific Massage Chairs – Why are They Getting Popular Among Users

We all want to feel the ultimate relaxation after a long tiring day! But, most of us aren’t in the position to drive miles and visit spa for a unwinding massage. 

And that’s where massage chairs become saviors. They are designed to target key pressure points – right from neck to calves. 

But, for someone who is taller than 6’, many of these chairs don’t align properly.  As a result, the effectiveness of the chair diminishes. Some of the common issues that tall people face in a standard massage chairs are:

• Rollers not aligned: When chairs aren’t height specific, the rollers may miss the key areas such as shoulders, upper back and neck. 
• Uncomfortable leg rests: Since, there’s limited adjustability, it can result in uncomfortable position or ineffective calf massage. 
• Cramped Seats: Seating dimensions in standard massage chairs may feel restrictive for taller individuals. 

Thankfully, big and tall massage chairs address these problems with advanced engineering and ergonomic design. 

Now that you know why investing in height specific massage chairs matters, let’s see what factors you should consider. 

Key Features to Look for When Buying a Massage Chair for Tall Individuals 

Buying a massage chair is always a task. It becomes even more challenging when you are looking for bigger chairs. Here are a few features that you should consider: 

Weight Capacity

Hunt for chairs with high weight limits. We recommend you to go for massage chairs that can easily support more than 350 pounds. Such models are structurally designed with sturdy frames and high quality materials that provide durability and longevity. 

Chair Dimensions 

Check out the following chair size dimensions: 

• Width and Depth: Opt for chairs that have wider seats. Make sure it’s 20 inches or more so it can easily accommodate bigger frame. 
• Height of the Backrest: Individuals who are taller than 6’ should look for models that have a high backrest.  We recommend a backrest over 50 inches for proper neck, hand and shoulder support. 
•  Wider legroom: Massage chairs with extended and adjustable footrest provides wider legroom for individuals taller than 6’. 

Adjustable Features

Big and tall users can benefit immensely with adjustable features like: 

• Reclining angles: Make sure you buy a chair that allows full recline up to 180 degrees. 
• Footrest Extension: Opt for models that have extendable footrests for better leg support. 
• Zero gravity: This will help you reduce the pressure on the spine as it brings your torso at the same level as the legs. 

Technologically Advanced Features 

Most modern day technologically advanced models include the following features for an ultimate experience: 

• Body Scanning Technology: This features adjust and automates the massage modes to align with your body’s shape and size. 
• Customizable Massage Settings: Opt for models with customizable settings such as Shaistu, rolling or kneading to cater your personal preferences. 
• Heating Options: Chairs equipped with heating features enhance circulation for muscle relaxation, specially for larger muscles.
