Omega Serenity Massage Chair in our Showroom

Friday, July 30th, 2010

We finally made enough room in our showroom to justify getting one of the new Omega zero gravity massage chairs. Omega came out late last year with two new models, the Skyline and the Serenity. Both nice chairs, but we liked the design

Serenity Massage Chair

of the Serenity and thought it would be cool to have it in our showroom, so that is the one we ordered.

Easy set up and quite a light chair. That made it easy to move around and unpack. We got the white one, which really stands out in our showroom compared to the typical black and dark-colored massage chair models. It is very stylish as you can tell from the image here. The chair retails for $2499 and comes with a standard 1 year comprehensive/3 year limited warranty. We include our $200 Visa Gift Card with that, which essentially brings the price down to $2299. The chair comes in white, black, and brown…pretty standard colors.

It is a very stylish design. The back rollers are not on a track so they do not move up and down your back. The stay isolated primarily to the mid to lower back. There are airbags in the shoulders, neck, buttock, and legs. The Skyline model is exactly the same on the inside, but with different outer design.

Insurance Paying for Massage Chair?

Monday, July 26th, 2010

If there is one question we get more than any other in this business, it’s whether insurance will cover the cost of a massage chair purchase. I have no certain answer for you. As a matter of fact, in the 7 years I have been selling massage chairs, I have only heard of two where a third party paid for the chair and both instances had to do with disability/handicap situations where the chair was paid for by certain governmental departments that were paying for rehab of some sort.

If anyone out there has had their health insurance pay for a massage chair, please let us know about it. Feel free to call me at our showroom at 801-417-8240 and share your experience with me. We’d love to share your success with other clients who ask about the possibility of having their health insurance cover all or some of the massage chair purchase.

Perhaps there is some code that the insurance companies accept for massage chair sales; perhaps you have purchased the chair and then submitted the bill to your insurance company and received reimbursement for your expense; perhaps a doctor prescribed a massage chair to you and the insurance company then paid for the chair for you.

Whatever your story, we’d like to hear about it for the sake of all our readers.

Thanks for your input.

Utah Jazz Mascot Visits Massage Chair Relief!!

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

Steffanie and I are just minding our own business doing work at the Massage Chair Relief showroom when we hear the doorbell go off, notifying us that someone is in our showroom. Before we could even get up and see who it was, Bear, the Utah Jazz mascot runs in through our back office door and surprises the dickens out of us. Naturally, we were excited. But, as soon as we realized who was in our showroom, we immediately asked if we could take some pictures of him in our massage chairs. He didn’t say anything (duh, no mascot says anything!), so we escorted him to our chairs and took these photos:

It was a lot of fun when Bear was here. After he got up from the massage chairs, I could tell he wanted to ask questions and talk, but he was true to his no-talk mandate. I’m sure he’ll be back as a civilian someday to ask those questions he couldn’t ask yesterday.

Go Jazz!

New Inada Sogno Massage Chair Video

Friday, July 16th, 2010

I just realized that it’s been a couple of weeks since my last blog entry. You are probably chomping at the bit for more massage chair info, aren’t you! :) Well, nothing too terribly exciting to report. We are still waiting on the new Acutouch 9500 massage chair by Human Touch; Inada will be introducing a new color for the Sogno in a few weeks; we will finally be getting one of the new Omega zero gravity massage chairs in our showroom, now that we have sold the Montage floor model.

I also have another video to share with you of the Inada Sogno massage chair. We get asked all the time if we will make videos of other chairs. YES, we will. I am just too dang busy or lazy to get them done. But, we will be doing them later this summer on other models.

This video introduces the headpiece function of the Inada Sogno, which is very unique. It is the only chair that has a headpiece like this. Check it out…
