Snailax Neck Back Massager with Heat, Full Body Massage Chair Pad, Adjustable Compression, Rolling, Shiatsu Massage Seat Cushion, Chair Massagers,Gifts for Women, Man (Upgrade)

Pros: - Delivery arrived on time. - The delivery arrived very well packaged, safe, and secure. - Virtually no setup was needed. - This product boasts very sturdy construction, and nice, high-quality leather is featured throughout. - The massage capability is very high quality and can deliver a powerful, strong, high-pressure massage, which is very rare for a massage chair insert. I particularly appreciate this because, as a PhD professor, therapist, president, and CEO of a company, I carry a lot of stress in my back and shoulders after long hours of sitting and working. However, one can adjust the level and strength of massage pressure and vibration to fit one's preferences and needs. - This massage chair insert is portable and fits in virtually any sort of chair. It can be easily removed and relocated to nearly any other chair in the home. - The remote control offers many excellent features and options and is also built more strongly than most other remote controls for similar objects. - The wiring and cables throughout the massage chair are also heavy-duty and designed to last. Cons: It is difficult to think of many disadvantages of this product; however: I wish there was an option for it to remain on for longer than 30 minutes or so, yet I also understand this is a safety feature. Regardless, sitting and working for long periods, it would be nice to at least have an option where 30 minutes or so could be extended. (In the spirit of transparency, while I stand by the above claims 100%, and such are entirely accurate and reflect my own personal views, opinions, and perspectives, I was invited to try and test this product by the company, which required that I personally purchase this product and seek reimbursement from them upon completing such a period of testing and review. Additionally, over the past couple years, I have independently purchased three other Snailax massage products (i.e., two Snailax full body massage mats & one Snailax Shiatsu Foot Massager with deep kneading) and cherish these other high quality, reliable products daily.

I did a lot of reading and reviews before I chose the Snailax Full Body Massage Chair Pad. This was bought for my 86-year-old father that has chronic lower back pain & hip pain. He was very happy with my choice. It is heavy for someone his age to move around. He liked using in his large recliner so he can relax. I believe it is about 16lbs and it says to unplug from the wall outlet so this part he has struggled with until I moved the pad to another small swivel chair & because the pad has a tall firm back it still worked fine w/o needing the chair back taller. I read all instructions before using and it is pretty clear on instructions and for setup. It was well packaged- doubled box which really protected to and didn't have all the Styrofoam or extra stuff to dispose of. There is an auto setting that will run 15 mins for sample, but my dad likes that because it does it all. It says to use only 3x's at 15 mins a day to start & I understand so your back can get used to the massage part. I think for us being tall it is perfect to have the full auto start from the lower back and goes up to the neck & head area. So far just having it for 5 days it is doing a good job. I have used the air massager setting and it just seems to air up and expand and decrease for pressure it feels good but not the pressure I thought. The rollers are really good and not so intense that it hurts. I used 1st time and wondered if I would feel the workout in the middle of my back the next day, but I didn't. I am glad we are tall, or we may have had to add a cushion to raise a smaller person like it states to raise someone with a small body frame raised up to have their head and neck in the right position. It is nice to be able to fold the seat up and set aside if not in use. It was easy enough to lean against something to store in area you want to use all the time. The controller stores in a pocket on the right side of the back- quick to set back up My dad loved how it helped his sore lower back, or if you just want to sit down for 15 minutes or less whenever you want and be relax to a wonderful massage. I feel you will not be disappointed. My review was based only on my fathers & my own personal experience. I may have to order myself one for our house since I got to try out my dad's. Overall very happy with what it performs.

I purchased the Snailax Full Body Massage Chair Pad -Shiatsu Neck Back Massager with Heat & Compression, Kneading Full Back Massage Seat Portable Chair Massager for Back and Neck, Shoulder because I'm hoping it lasts. I've purchased so many types of back massagers over the last 10 years and usually end up wanting. They are too small or don't hit the right spots. This massager has almost everything you could want and I'm extremely happy with it. I've been using it for a few days, and I use it at various times throughout the day. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis which is a degenerative spine disorder, and it has affected my muscles throughout my entire back. I'm in pain most days with muscle spasms and knots so I need breaks to try to work them out. This chair massager has been very effective in relaxing my muscles and giving me the deep pressure that I need. Many others I've tried do not allow the pressure this baby does. Especially when you use the air seat and air back, it hugs you right in place, so you don't move away from the rollers. Speaking of the rollers, this is one of the things that makes it "almost perfect". They are great, don't get me wrong, however, they could go side to side just a few inches. The structure of the chair keeps you in place, centered on the seat, and the rollers move up and down while rotating but they only reach that center strip on either side of your spine. If you're like me and have multiple muscle issues, you know what I mean. I'm 5'5" &150lbs so I sit pretty well in the seat though I've found that the rollers, when using the full back mode, stop just below my shoulder blades :( I need deep tissue massage around my shoulder blades and can only get that by sliding down and sitting off-center on each side to reach them. This is because with the "neck and shoulder" section, at its lowest spot, it only puts pressure on the top of my shoulders and the base of my neck. I can feel there is another set of shorter nodes next to the protruding neck nodes that rotate with them, unfortunately, they do not reach my shoulders regardless of the positions I've tried. You can see in the photos I've tried to show the lower nodes and in the one with just my finger on top of the shorter node, you can see there is about a 3" difference in height. Photos also show there are 3 pressure levels depending on fabric removal. Full coverage of the full over flap, remove that flap and get 2nd level of pressure, remove the neck fabric (zipped) and a 3rd level of pressure. I'm thrilled with this product overall! It appears to be well made, you get extra warranty coverage with Snailax and my back is very, very, happy!

This thing is AMAZING!! I had a previous Snailax massager and loved it but this one puts that to shame! There’s almost not a spot that it doesn’t touch. The side pads that are inflatable were way cooler than I anticipated and from low back all the way to your neck gets a great massage. It fits nicely in my recliner also and with the seat being attached but not fixed in a seated position, I can even recline and use it. It does have a little weight to it but I expect that with all the features. The remote rubs everything and all functions are independent of each other. Engineers put thought into this. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a well built and functional massager for any tight muscle. The butt vibration is an added bonus after glute day at the gym. This thing is great!!

I purchased this back massager for my chronic back pain. I wanted a quality massager for a good price, and this one fit the bill. This one had great reviews so I thought I'd give it a shot. One thing that I appreciated from the beginning was it was ready to go after taking it out of the box. All I had to do was connect and plug it in! The remote control allows you to select what type of massage you want. I tried them all and enjoyed them. The Shiatsu rollers go from your tail bone up to your neck. It also has a spot massager that targets specific areas of concern if needed. I really like the compression massage. It squeezes and releases your back and thighs and releases the tension. With the heat added, I'm is self-care heaven. Also, If you register the product, they offer a 3 year warranty. If you're looking for quality massager that does it all, I recommend this one. *The pictures show that you can attach the massager to any chair with the velcro strips on the back for security. Also the head pillow can be removed as well as the intensity control flap.

I have several massagers that target specific areas but this one is awesome for just sitting back, relaxing and enjoying an all over massage. It's really well made and looks good. There's a pad down the back which is removable if you want a deeper shiatsu massage but stops it being painful if your muscles are a little tender (unlike some other shiatsu massagers I've been on) The pad for your head is also removable allowing you to adjust the position of your head and neck relative to the massage heads. The back shiatsu covers the full range of my back from the base to my shoulders (I'm 5'4" ) and the neck massager comes down low enough to get into the knots on top of my shoulders and all the way up my neck The vibration is only in the seat and feels good if you've been working your glutes and backs of your legs. The compression also feels good, not sure what it's doing exactly but it does feel good. The heat is at the low back and feels great when your low back is stiff, which mine usually is. You can use any of the different functions on its own or in any combination Can you tell I love this massager? Ok negatives, because there always is at least one, but in this case definitely not enough to drop a star, just something to be aware of... If you have the compression on high, at some points it alternates from one side to the other, which feels fine except when you have the shiatsu on at the same time, it pushes you a little off center, just enough for the shiatsu massage head to hit your spine, which I found really painful. Simple fix though, keep the compression on low if you want it on at the same time as the shiatsu, or use them separately. The only other "negative" is that the motors, particularly the one that moves the neck massager up and down, are a little bit loud but it doesn't bother me, again, not a deal breaker, you could always just wear earbuds if it bothers you , I sometimes do that anyway with some relaxing music or a guided meditation on. Overall I'm really happy with this massager, it definitely hits the right spots

It has only one task - is to do massage! And this is extactly where it fails very badly. It can't reach muscles between ribs like OSIM does very well. It only pushes very big areas and hits bones all the times. Muscles are not massaged , bones are mostly hit. Rollers don't even approach backbone, they stay too far aside from it. Totally disappointed. Can't use it. And cant' return it, because I no longer have an original cardboard box :( Too primitive construction. Don't waste your money. There much better options on the market.

At 6' tall, this just barely hits my neck, so go elsewhere if you're taller. Works good in the right chair- I imagine a recliner would be best, but I have to make due with leaning back in a rocker. That said, the heat function really needs to be improved. I barely notice it.

Super happy with purchase. Deliver in less than 24 hours.

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.

This SL229 Snailax massager IS a fantastic machine - It got rid of my painful back-ache the first time I used it! I will certainly be using it at the beginning of every day. Before, I bought this machine, I was going regularly to the physio-theraptist and this was starting to cost me a lot of money. I was going to get my family doctor involved because I actually thought that there an underlying health problem with me. I especially like the back massaging feature of the machine because it IS very effective in relieving my now-gone excruciating back pain! The other deatures are like the icing on the cake: They are there if I need them.Well done, Snailax!

I received the product today and first time tried it - it is as if the designer had everything in mind, the remote control has really nice design, the motor ‘/rollers are powerful and strong. At £199, at first I was wondering if it was the same as the Comfier had the price dropped to around £157. Snailax advertised as an “upgrade” and I can confirm the upgrade is the additional rollers for the back so you have 4 rollers instead of two! So I can understand why it’s £199, same price as the dollars sold in the (US? $199). 🤔 Tomorrow I will try the product on a recline position as shown by other proud owners on this review. The only thing that did not fit properly, is the office chair which is ergonomically designed - Herman Miller. If you have this office chair you will see the back is curved in whereas Snailax needs a flat surface, so it will never fit in. I had to find a chair with a flat back to enjoy the first session. It felt really good, I was surprised the head roller would work on my shoulders, 10/10. With nice music on the background, it was a good 15 mins work out. Update 26/10/26. After 2 months, the massager is still in the same chair and still happy using it. At first, the roller was quite hard and notice one other customer mentioned the same. I think if you use it gently and not lean on the rollers too hard and let the hardness settle, your body will adapt over time to the hardness of the roller. It worked for me. Now it’s approaching winter, aches and pains on shoulders or headache even, this massager does bring relief, just ensure you turn in the heat to enjoy the session.

A bit disappointing, it's not as strong as I expected. Note to self: better to try this kind of things out as the actual experience is impt and personal
