In this BestMassage chair, 21 airbags placed along the arms, hips, shoulder, thighs, calves, and feet work together to work the whole body through a custom air massage system. Built-in sensors make the system extra effective, measuring the length of each user’s spine and targeting the specific spots that need the most help.
