Panasonic Massage Chair

Panasonic is a household name with over 100 years of engineering legacy—and its massage chairs are no exception. With all models engineered and manufactured in Japan, Panasonic takes a medical-mechanical approach, prioritizing deep-tissue techniques, safety, and durable construction.

Rather than competing on flashy tech or oversized recliners, the brand aims for clinical-level massage in compact, well-designed packages. Chairs like the MAK1, MAN1, and MAF1 serve different needs but all emphasize roller refinement, real muscle therapy, and long-lasting mechanical consistency. Panasonic isn’t a lifestyle brand—it’s a wellness instrument disguised as furniture.

Fujiiryoki Massage Chair

Fujiiryoki, officially Fuji Medical Instruments Mfg. Co., Ltd., holds the title of world’s first massage chair manufacturer. Founded in Osaka, Japan, in the 1950s, it’s still a dominant force in Japan’s wellness and healthcare markets. Its chairs are classified as Class II medical devices in Japan, meaning they’re validated not just for comfort, but for clinical benefit.

Models like the JP-1100 and JP-3000 AI reflect this origin, blending a conservative design with deeply researched mechanics. Fuji chairs are engineered to restore circulation, posture, and muscular alignment, with fewer flashy elements and more embedded intelligence under the surface.
