5 Massage Chair Features for the "Big and Tall" (If You’re Over 6'0")

If you’re over 6'0" or up to 400 lbs, a "standard" massage chair can feel like sitting in an airplane middle seat. The rollers might stop at your mid-back, and your knees might be tucked up too high. To get a truly therapeutic experience, you need a chair that can breathe and expand with your frame.

When shopping, keep an eye out for these five specific features:

• Automatic Footrest Extension: Look for "Stepper Motor" extensions that add up to 7-9 inches of legroom.

• Adjustable Shoulder Airbags: These should move up or down to actually grip your deltoids, not your ribs.

• Long SL-Track: You need a track length of at least 49-52 inches to reach from your neck to your hamstrings.

• Adjustable Headrest: Essential for ensuring the neck rollers actually hit your cervical spine.

• Shoulder Width Detection: High-end models scan your frame to widen the massage path for broader shoulders.
