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.

Ogawa Massage Chair

Ogawa is a premium massage chair brand that positions itself around engineering refinement, health-focused routines, and long-term reliability. With product design based in California and manufacturing handled through ISO-certified partners in Asia, Ogawa strikes a balance between innovation and consistent build quality.

The brand is particularly known for combining high-tech massage systems with contemporary styling, creating chairs that are just as appealing in a modern living room as they are in a wellness clinic. With a product line that focuses heavily on mid and upper tiers, Ogawa is a strong match for users seeking a more sophisticated massage experience, rather than entry-level affordability.
