“Following a visit to some high-tech, luxury design store with his parents this past Christmas season, my 6-year-old nephew started obliviously greeting everyone he encountered with "Guess what I want? A $6,000.00 massage chair!"While everyone's initial response was to howl with laughter at the sheer ridiculousness of the request, it became clear that he was genuinely serious when it started appearing in the crayon artwork he would bring home from school and the Lego configurations strewn across his bedroom floor.Despite the unfortunate reality that the one he had his heart set on was never going to be an option, his letter to the North Pole did me in as it was prominently displayed at the top of his list alongside a detailed drawing of himself sitting in the chair. At this point, I was determined to find a suitable alternative but by the time I discovered this, it was too late for it to be received in time for Christmas. After accepting that his dream was not to be, he slowly moved on and stopped talking about it.With the arrival of his Birthday a full month later, I seized the opportunity to truly surprise him following all those weeks of giddy anticipation that ended in such a letdown. I was a little worried that he would be disappointed since it wasn't the coveted designer chair, however, once I explained that he could use it in different places like his bed, the couch in the living room, or the recliner in the TV room he was completely sold.We initially set it up on a bed and he climbed in waiting to see how it worked. The attached remote control has numerous settings and allows for a wide variety of targeted options to satisfy individual preferences - he had this mastered in seconds. The look on his face once it was switched on was priceless - it was absolute euphoria. His eyes actually rolled back as he let out a deep sigh and said: "oh, yeah this really helps me unwind". I actually had to turn away to conceal my laughter as I watched this little boy morph into an old man!Soon, a line started forming as everyone took a turn with all the adults unanimously agreeing that they were wrong in their earlier mockery of his obsession with the massage chair. Three of those present have gone on to purchase a Snailax massage mat of their own; two of them struggle with pain management issues resulting from both an auto accident and a sports injury. They both strongly agreed that it did provide them with some relief from stiffness and difficulty getting comfortable in bed when trying to fall asleep. Of note, no matter which program you select, the mat automatically shuts down after 30 minutes. You can immediately restart it if you like, but this feature works well for purposes of a sleep aid.It comes in a functional box that doubles as a storage container and features a convenient carrying handle. A detailed user's manual is included along with a certificate for a free two-year warranty. After a brief email exchange with the Snailax Customer Service Representative, my Nephew was all set and he proudly carried his new treasure to the car in its suitcase-like presentation box.It is now a fixture on my sister's living room sofa and receives daily use as my nephew insists it is the perfect spot for him to quickly relax and recuperate after walking in the front door following a grueling day spent in first grade.Hands down the best money I have EVER spent on a gift, period!”
“I didn't expect to be amazed by this product but it it so cool. It is surprisingly effective and strong enough to make my back and thighs feel good relief with each massage cycle. Love that it has heat as well.Only complaint is the strap in the back is too short to fit around my chaise lounger. So I just leave it unstrapped to the chair back but it stays on just fine.”
“I have been getting physical therapy for an inflammatory tendonitis in my back and hips and discussed this with my therapist who thought it sounded good, so I ordered it. It is WONDERFUL. I love that you can have just heat (only one setting, but a comfortable warmth), or any of 4 zones with different levels of vibration intensity and pattern. It also operates on a timer of about 15 minutes, but it's easy to restart. I showed my therapist the directions that came with it, he went online and researched it and is planning to order one for himself. He also plans to recommend it to any of his patients who might benefit from it. I can't recommend this product enough!!”
“I like that this product is portable and very easy to use. The controll remote is so simple to operate. I bought this product to help with my nerve damage in my legs and back. So far, It has helped me have more mobility.”
