Engineering improves many aspects of the modern world but arguably shines the brightest when put in the service of luxury. And perhaps no device gains as much luxury from superior engineering like an Inada Massage Chair. Innovative technology and meticulous quality checks ensure these Japanese massage chairs stand out in the American market.

Whether your back is stiff or your days feel too long, these massage chairs will transport you to a vibratory plane of exquisite bliss, unheard of with other massagers. But even among excellence, one must choose, and for that reason, we have compared a list of our three favorite Inada Massage Chair that one can buy.

But First: What is Inada Massage Chair?

Inada offers top-of-the-line massage chairs. None of those stick-you-in-the-back-with-a-cue-ball atrocities they sell at Sharper Image. Anyone who has sat in an Inada Massage Chair will attest that these devices are leagues beyond the competition.

Those with a budget of around $4,000 to $18,000 can outfit their home with the equivalent of a starship captain’s chair that propels one into galaxies of comfort. But which Inada Massage Chair is right for you? Certain models use air-compression technology, while others utilize heat or both. Let’s explore the features of each chair.

Product Features of Inada Massage Chair

Inada Massage Chair provides a variety of features across their products, catering to the users’ specific needs and desires.

Inada Flex 3s Massage Chair

The Inada Flex 3s Massage Chair stands apart from the rest in its ability to target specific areas of the body and unique heating feature. Using focused yet subtle air compression technology, the Inada Flex 3s Massage Chair distributes focused massage to both the neck and shoulder areas of the user.

Besides a focused massage, the Inada Chairs provide an experience of heat to the full body of the user. Focusing on the lower lumbar of users, the Inada Chairs focus massage while providing additional warmth to the extremities of users, namely the fingers and toes.

In addition to these unique features, the Inada Flex 3s Massage chair ensures the iconic personal choice that has become synonymous with the Inada brand. Hybrid massage technology caters to the personalization of each user, providing a combination of massages performed with air-bags.

Intense Massage Experience

However, if this massage technique is not intense enough, Inada provides a more intense massage experience. The Inada Flex 3s Massage Chair employs 3-D rollers technology embedded throughout the chair, providing a truly intense massage experience.

Using highly advanced technology, the Inada Flex 3s Massage Chair engages users with stretching massage, embedded within the chair to ensure the most optimal release of tension plaguing the muscles of the user. Additionally, the Inada Flex 3s Massage chair can eliminate tense and stiff muscles, correcting imbalanced posture for the user with its stretching technology.

Inada Sogno Massage Chair

If the features of the Inada Flex 3s Massage chairs are not enticing, Inada also crafted the Sogno Massage Chair, packed with unique features, ready to alleviate tension with 1,200 square inches of massage coverage. Only Inada Sogno massaging technology combined with full body-cradling features can truly relax the user.

Inada’s highly advanced, patented technology takes advantage of 3D massage techniques used by professional masseuses, completely relaxing the user. Furthermore, Inada Massage Chair can rid the body of strain and tension using their state-of-the-art technology.

In order to fully reinvigorate the user, the Inada Chairs utilize eight unique massage programs. These eight programs ensure personalization for the users, providing an encompassing range of choices. Inada has achieved technology providing relaxation and recovery while also producing relief and rejuvenation.

Patented Technology

Similar to the Inada Flex 3s Massage Chair, the Inada Sogno Massage Chair uses patented technology and careful design in its implementation of stretching massage, a sure-fire way to relax all users. Inada Massage chair will help the user to achieve a balanced posture with frequent use of the advanced massage mechanization.

Additionally, the Inada Sogno Massage chair uses clever design in its recline mode in order to further enhance the massage experience. The recline mode not only offers the user an enhanced experience but additionally intensifies the massage technology, allowing the patented motion of the massage chair to penetrate tense muscles.

Inada DreamWave Massage Chair

The most unique of the Inada Chairs is the DreamWave model, offering users the experience of a full body scanner. The Inada DreamWave Massage Chair takes personalization to a whole new level. Stepping up above the competition, the DreamWave incorporates the body scanner into the hull of its structure, implementing the technology to readjust to each user, making this a personal experience.

The scanner communicates with each massaging node changing itself with amoeba-like deftness to the user's body type and length. The Inada DreamWave Massage Chair ensures the highest level of massage efficiency on the marketplace through the scanner technology.

Youth Sessions Feature

Another unique feature of the Inada DreamWave Massage Chair is the Youth sessions feature; this is a massage chair the whole family can enjoy. Deliberately integrated within the DreamWave are design requirements for children and youth. Inada worked with professionals in the massage industry to achieve a massage chair that can cater to both children and adults, focusing on the distinct requirements of the differing anatomy.

Like the Inada Flex 3s Massage Chair, the DreamWave implements a heating element to relax users. Using the highly efficient heating systems throughout the massage chair, the DreamWave enhances the experience of the user. Incorporated inside the seat itself, the heating systems heighten the motion of massage, penetrating within the anatomy of users to provide a full body experience.

Assist Your Body Posture

Inada DreamWave Massage chairs focus specifically to target Vertebrae, assisting the users in maintaining proper posture and a balanced body. Going beyond normal massage, the DreamWave uses figure-8 motions individually delivered through each massaging node to penetrate the sore muscles of the user. The Inada chairs ensure through their technology that all main acupuncture points are addressed to achieve the best massage on the market. The efficiency is out of this world.

Pricing of Inada Massage Chair

The Inada Chairs provide a variety of products to meet a range of budgetary needs. One can purchase most of these chairs on Amazon, but other sites such as Dreamwave.com may provide these chairs when Amazon runs out of stock.

Flex 3s

Dreamwave.com sells the Inada HCP-S373 Flex 3s Massage Chair for around $4,300. Amazon additionally sells this model, but it tends to sell out quickly.

Sogno

Amazon does carry this more advanced model, but not always for long! (At the time of this article, only one was available in stock.) For about $17,500, the Inada Sogno Dreamwave Massage Chair could be working its shiatsu magic on you.

DreamWave

One can find the Inada DreamWave Massage Chair on both Amazon and Dreamwave.com. This chair I’ve nicknamed the “DreamWave” (to distinguish it from the Sogno Dreamwave) is available for purchase at both sites for around $9,000.

Inada Massage Chair: How They Compare

There’s more to consider than price when picking out a quality massage chair. For that reason, we have compiled the pros and cons of each, alongside some vital specs. Hopefully, this list will give you a better idea of which massage chair fits you best.

INADA HCP-S373 Flex 3s Massage Chair

  • Price Rating: $
  • Product Dimensions: 50.4 x 33.5 x 41.7 inches

  • Color Options: Black, Brown
  • Key Features: Air compression with air-bags, heating throughout including targeted areas such as fingers and toes, focus on shoulders and neck area, targets lower lumbar, 3D roller technology for intense massage, stretching massage feature

The most economical of the three options, the Flex 3s nonetheless delivers an incredible bang for its buck. The multiple settings that the chair offers allow the user to tailor the chair to their exact massage needs. If you need heat to relieve the aches of the day, the Flex 3s has you covered. If your day leaves your shoulders and neck especially stiff, the Flex 3s can target these areas.

You can even choose between a gentle massage and a more intense hybrid massage option that uses rollers to work out those pesky knots. As a bonus, the Flex 3s is about a hundred pounds lighter than the other two options, making it a better choice for those who have to lug furniture up a flight of stairs to reach their home.

If you’ve enjoyed massage chairs in the past but wished that they could cradle and massage your whole body at once, Inada created the Sogno for you. With over 1,200 square inches of body coverage, this chair can massage your whole body at once. While this is the most expensive of the three options, the price is well justified by the array of feature that the chair provides.
If you find your posture slouching, this chair may be just the product to relieve the burden on your shoulders and have you walking upright and confident. Studies show that mood and general comfort are intimately linked with posture, and what more relaxing way to improve one’s posture than in the full-body cradle of the Sogno?
One session in the kingly Sogno and you will no longer envy those angels lounging in their clouds. Down on earth, you’re floating in the cradle that is the Sogno, and those angels don’t have eight distinct massage modes programmed into their clouds.

  • Highest coverage (1,200 square inches) of any Inada Massage Chair
  • Full body experience via the full body cradle

 

Cons

  • Air pressure may be too intense for some users
  • Large size may be difficult for some

Inada DreamWave Massage Chair

Price Rating: $$
Product Dimensions: 82.7 x 36.6 x 47.6 inches
Product Weight: 265 pounds
Color Options: Black, Cream, Dark Brown, Red, and TruBlack Leather
Key Features: Advanced, full body scanner, youth sessions, heated seat, figure 8-motion technology, covers all acupuncture areas

Occupying a middle price range between the Flex 3s and the Sogno, the DreamWave Massage Chair strikes a balance of features and affordability.
The full body scanner feature allows the chair to easily adjust to a wide range of heights and weights, making the product perfect for households where multiple people wish to experience the benefits of an Inada Massage Chair. The youth session feature further expands the chair’s utility by providing a perfect option for younger users who may find other massage chairs too rough.

Additionally, the DreamWave is the only model of the three chairs that come in TruBlack Leather and Red, making it ideal for those who want to add some racing-stripe flair to their top of the line massage chair. Many have found themselves melting into relaxation with this chair leaned back and its gentle heaters turned on.

Pros

  • A massage chair the whole family can enjoy
  • Highly versatile
  • Full body scanner

Cons

  • Less intense massage

Inada Massage Chair: Conclusions

All three of these Inada Massage Chair will provide you experiences unparalleled by the competition. However, among the three, we find the Flex 3s to be the best for those with a tighter budget, especially those who have enjoyed the benefits of shiatsu massage and wish to keep a mechanical masseuse in their household.

For those with a bit more to spend, it is hard to beat the DreamWave, especially for households with multiple users. The DreamWave’s youth session feature and its ability to cover vital acupuncture locations make it a relief for the whole family.

However, if you seek ultimate comfort and customization and price is no object, look no further than the Sogno.
