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.
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.
