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.
Inada Massage Chair
Inada, based in Osaka, Japan, is often credited with pioneering the modern massage chair. With a legacy dating back to the 1960s, it has focused on chiropractic-style techniques, clinical precision, and the art of rhythm and pressure rather than commercial feature overload.
Inada chairs aren’t flashy. They’re built like instruments—each movement slow, deliberate, and fine-tuned. Current models like the DreamWave M.1 and Robo-Therapist 7 reflect decades of therapeutic R&D and still echo the brand’s original philosophy: targeted relief, not roller theatrics.
