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.

Panasonic Massage Chair

Panasonic Massage Chair Main picture

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.
