Which iJoy Massage Chair is Best for You

The iJoy massage chair from Human Touch has become quite popular lately. There are a few reasons for its popularity, the primary ones are: a full function massage chair starting at a reasonable price point, it's smaller design fits better in many homes, and with a more modern design, it just looks cool! There are three models of the iJoy, so which one is best for you? Let's take a look at the basic differences between the three to help you make this decision for yourself.

First it is good to look at features included on all three models. For instance, all chairs recline and they come in two different colors: black and espresso. They all include a removable massage softening pad, and a child safety lock. However, none of them include a built in foot rest for foot and leg massage, but there are matching ottomans available if this is important to you. Now let's compare the individual models.

The base model iJoy massage chair is the 2310, starting around $599. This chair has three 15-minute preprogrammed massages: one for the entire back, one to relieve neck and shoulder stress, and one for the lower back. This chair features four different massage techniques: rolling, kneading, compression and percussion. If you do not want to use one of the preprogrammed massages, you can manually control (with the included remote) what type of massage that you want, and where you want it to be. There is a handy storage pocket on the chair for the remote.

The next iJoy massage chair model is the 2400, which typically runs about $200 more than the previous model.  This chair has the same massage feature as the 2310, but there are upgrades in the chair itself. It has a soft suede finish on the seating area, which is very comfortable and yet also easy to clean. In the left arm of the chair there is a built in space for the remote. When in place, the remote is flush with the top of the arm rest . The chair will recline further back, all the way to 170 degrees, so you are lying almost flat. The further back you are, the more intense the massage. But the really great thing about the recline feature is that you can recline back slowly and smoothly so that you can discover the perfect recline massage position for you.

The most expensive iJoy massage chair is model 2580, but it is only about $100 more than the 2400. Both the 2400 and the 2580 looks a bit beefier than the base model 2310. It also has the same basic massage feature as the other two chairs, plus it has the chair upgrades of the 2400. There are just a  few add ons to make this chair worth a bit more. In the right arm rest there is a cup holder. Plus it has an auxiliary power outlet for convenience. It also includes a more deluxe contoured head pillow, and wheels for easier mobility. It also has power recline.

To sum it up, the three iJoy massage chairs have basically the same massage features, but it is the chairs themselves that get more deluxe. With only a price difference of $300 between the base model and the deluxe model, it is really a matter of personal choice in how important those upgrades are to you. But regardless of what you choose, you are bound to be happy with any iJoy massage chair.
