Human Touch Massage Chair
Human Touch, based in Long Beach, California, is one of the most established massage chair brands in the U.S. market. With a product history going back over four decades and more than 190 patents, Human Touch focuses on chairs that combine clinical wellness, aesthetics, and intuitive user experience. It’s the rare American brand that holds FDA registration, with chairs often found in airports, spas, and even pro athletic facilities.
The lineup spans from ultra-compact entry models like the iJOY Total Massage to luxurious, feature-rich chairs like the Super Novo 2.0. Throughout the range, Human Touch emphasizes ergonomic design, therapeutic routines, and a unique blend of furniture-grade styling and medical-grade safety. While not as aggressive on specs-per-dollar as Osaki or Titan, it brings polish and clinical credibility few other brands match.
Kahuna Massage Chair
Kahuna, owned by AJX Distribution Inc. in California, began in 2013 as an Amazon-first brand and rapidly grew into one of the most visible names in the U.S. massage chair space. Its claim to fame is performance-driven chairs with aggressive pricing, particularly in the $1,500–$5,000 range.
While the brand lacks a luxury polish and isn't accredited by the BBB, it compensates with an extensive lineup, surprising feature density, and chairs that frequently appear at the top of Amazon’s bestseller lists. Kahuna engineers its chairs in-house, builds them in ISO-certified facilities in Asia, and handles warranty and parts from California. For users focused on value, stretch, and long tracks, it's an appealing contender—though refinement takes a back seat to performance.
