Relaxonchair MK II Review

Design

While S track designed chairs offer roller massage only on the upper and lower back and in L track designed chairs, these rollers move all the way down to the glutes and thighs.

But Relaxonchair MK-II has employed custom buttlock L-track design. We can also call this buttlock L track design as hybrid S/L track design.

  • Like in S track design, it covers all your upper and lower back
  • But when it comes to lower body, it does not follow the entire L track course.
  • The rollers limit to glutes and upper thighs instead of moving down up to your knees.

Body Scan

The issue with standard body scan feature seen in other regular low-end massage chairs is that they just measure the height and width of your back irrespective of body curvature. Hence, the rollers mostly miss critical points and not follow spine curvature in such massage chairs.

Whereas, the computerized body scan incorporate in Relaxon MK-II chair is as advanced as 3D Scan.

  • It measures the length and curvature of your spine accurately
  • And the massage rollers adjust to these stats to cover every inch in your back

While other chairs offer at the maximum only 1 zero-gravity position owing to design constraints but Relaxonchair MK II offers 3 positions.

While regular quad rollers are part of every other massage chair but Relaxon has moved a step ahead and included an out of the box feature, shiatsu rollers for feet massage.

Remember, shiatsu is the highest quality massage experience and most other companies include shiatsu as a massage technique focused only for back massage. But offering shiatsu massage experience even for feet is surely commendable effort.
