Serenity Shiatsu Massage Cushion with Sound & Meditation

had a massager before but it just didn't reach the top of my back and neck. this one does both and quite well . would recommend it to any one who wants a back/neck massage at home.

Too tall for my height, painful massage. Returning.

Love the power and massage options on this chair. Does an excellent job on neck and shoulders. Actually like zone options to customize exactly what areas to work. Only drawback is it didn’t work on office chair, like former models, because the 2 neck nodules protrude like Marilyn Monroe’s silhouette.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fun and functional product. My only challenge was finding the right kind of chair to use it in. The kids loved it, my husband loved it, I loved it! It’s easy to set up, easy to use, and definitely relaxing as long as no fights break out over who gets to go first!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my Serenity Shiatsu Massage Cushion and I LOVE IT!!! I use it every day. It has been helping my back sooo much. I will have to admit the first day I just kept using it and using it and using it. Well the next day I woke up with a sore back. Now I use it once or twice a day and it works great!!

I bought this as a gift for my daughter. She is unusally picky but she loves this chair.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am pleasantly surprised at the superior effectiveness of the Serenity Shiatsu Massage Cushion by HoMedics. The massage cushion(chair), is a great, convenient, non-invasive way to help reduce stress, and muscle stiffness/soreness, whenever you want to, in the comfort and privacy of your own home. The massage cushion and app, are effortless and uncomplicated to setup and use. It is sturdy, portable, and offers a variety of massage styles. The remote control is easy to read and operate. I really appreciate that with the app, I can create my own unique massage program for customized relief. It has helped every part of my back, including in between my shoulder blades. From young to old, my whole family wants to utilize the massage cushion. However, it does not work as well on people of short stature. Almost every evening, for 15 minutes, I make precious gratifying use of the massage cushion. At the end of a long, busy, hectic day, I find the vibrating massage pressure to be powerful, effective and perfect to relax my tired aching muscles, and too help me unwind. When used in combination with the soothing heat feature, I am simply and utterly in heaven.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was able to try the Serenity Shiatsu Massage Cushion and provide my opinion on it. I was surprised by the size and the weight of the cushion. Cushion implies pillow, light, and not heavy. This is heavy. It obviously would be heavier than a pillow because of the massaging properties. The item is by Homedics. It weighs, in the box, about 30 pounds, approximately, if I am guessing correctly. The height of the back of the massager is roughly 30 inches tall, 20 inches wide. The seat bottom folds up into the back to help with storage. The chair in and of itself isn't bendable, as the mechanics inside of the seat back. The chair massages with rolling, thumping and kind of a kneading massage. You have back, lower back and neck/head massage options. You can always have all going or select just a part to be massaged. You can have heat or just massage or both at the same time. There is even an app that you can download through your phone on Android or Apple to have accompanying soothing music, meditation, and relaxation. I found initially that it was a bit rough, and hurt a little. But, there is a removable piece that you can use to soften and lessen the impact of the thumping or rolling. But, that inhibits the heat from really soaking into your bones, as it is a shield between you and the chair. I fine the remote handy and easy to use, knowing what you are massaging for more specific. The remote is attached to the chair so you won't necessarily misplace this in a drawer, get it lost in the cushions, etc. The heat is a nice soothing heat, not over powering. The massages they run about 15 minutes. You won't want to use it longer. But, you can use it, take pause, evaluate where you still need help and be a bit more specific. I found the massage back needs to have a firm chair behind you. I have a leather chair that I initially tried this on and it is more of a cushy chair and doesn't support the massager to keep it in line. If you don't have it more upright, leaned back, the massager will not hit you well for the head/neck area. If you are shorter, you may want a pillow to put under your bottom to have the massager hit your neck/head area for massage. I used the chair mostly for the lower to middle back area, and love being able to select the area, the type of massage. Rolling was great for just general relaxation. When I had a bit of pain, the thumping, drumming kind of feeling was great. The deeper kneading feeling sometimes really hurt. The removable pad helped reduce the discomfort for me. Overall, this is a really nice, albeit a bit large, hard to store item. But, if you possibly feel that a good massage at home and can have a great storage spot for it, it would be awesome to have. The price is a bit steep at the outset, but if you look at having a massage anytime you want, and the price of massages in an office, tips, etc, you will make your money back quickly. This is a very nice unit to have. I am not a fan of people touching me, so this provides me a wonderful massage and I can choose when, how long, how short, heat or no heat, and it is all on my discretion.
