Real Relax Massage Chairs Review

Real Relax maintains a tight range of mass-market models that cover both basic and enhanced functionality. The Favor-05 caters to absolute entry-level buyers looking for the core experience, while the Favor-07 Plus introduces 3D rollers, more airbags, and added comfort elements.

There are no true high-end or flagship chairs in the current catalog, and the brand does not offer niche variants (like space-saving shells or medical-registered builds). Still, the split between basic and mid-range provides useful choice for budget-tier shoppers.

Warranty terms are limited to 3 years on the frame, 1 year on parts, and no labor coverage. Support is offered through email or Amazon chat, and response times are variable. Parts are shipped from U.S. warehouses, but users often report needing to install replacements themselves.

This DIY approach is typical for the price tier, but it may be intimidating for less tech-savvy users. Extended warranty plans are generally unavailable through official channels.

Build quality is aligned with cost. The Favor-07 Plus feels more substantial, with reinforced frame sections and smoother recline mechanics, but it still uses lightweight plastics and PU leather with modest durability. The Favor-05 is more basic and may develop cosmetic or alignment issues over time with heavy use.

The internal motors and rollers hold up for casual daily use but are not rated for commercial or high-frequency workloads. For users treating the chair as a once-a-day relaxation tool, the durability should be acceptable.

The Favor-07 Plus, Real Relax’s higher-tier model, includes a 3D roller system along a full-length SL-Track. While it doesn’t reach the fluidity or depth of advanced 4D chairs, the roller pressure is adequate for mild back and glute coverage. The Favor-05, by contrast, uses fixed-point S-Track rollers, which offer surface-level kneading without depth modulation.

Massage techniques include kneading, tapping, and Shiatsu-like pulses, with transitions that are more mechanical than natural. For daily tension relief and basic back stimulation, they’re serviceable—but those seeking professional-level massage fidelity may find the feel underwhelming.

Real Relax chairs offer between 6 to 10 automatic programs, depending on the model, covering relaxation, stretch, and sleep modes. Manual control is minimal—mostly limited to intensity toggles and program selection. The chairs don’t include body memory settings or advanced manual mode for roller positioning.

While this level of simplicity may feel restrictive to experienced users, it’s ideal for buyers who want a plug-and-play experience without a steep learning curve.

The strongest point of the brand is affordability. Both the Favor-05 and Favor-07 Plus sit well below the typical price range of full-body massage chairs with similar functionality. Real Relax manages to deliver a working SL-Track, foot massage, heat, and Zero Gravity without breaking into premium pricing. For those looking for maximum functionality per dollar, it’s hard to find a more attainable entry point.

Despite its budget orientation, Real Relax manages to pack in a few helpful extras. The Favor-07 Plus includes lumbar heat, Bluetooth speakers, foot massage rollers, and a basic body scan system. The Favor-05 includes fewer enhancements but still offers heat and manual recline.

There’s no app control, voice command, or remote screen—just a tactile button remote. However, the basic feature set is well-organized and doesn’t overwhelm.

Coverage is respectable considering the tier. The Favor-07 Plus includes an SL-Track roller, which follows the natural spine curve and reaches the glutes. There’s also a foot roller system and airbags for calves, feet, arms, and shoulders. Height detection is basic but functional, and the footrest includes manual extension for taller users.

The Favor-05 lacks roller adaptability and has fewer airbags, which limits body contact precision. That said, both models still offer a surprisingly full-body experience when used casually.

All Real Relax chairs include Zero Gravity recline and padded seats with firm lumbar zones. The Favor-07 Plus includes multi-layer calf padding and a segmented foot roller system that enhances comfort during longer sessions. Entry models like the Favor-05 can feel firm, especially in the backrest, and taller users may notice that shoulder rollers or leg positions don’t quite align.

Chairs are built with compact sizing in mind and tend to fit users from average to slightly above-average height best. Controls are clear and straightforward, with preprogrammed buttons for recline, massage type, and intensity level.
