This is the third back massager I've purchased in the last 6 months. The first was too short and only had 5 vibration motors; it didn't really reach my shoulders. The second was a shiatsu roller which was too intense even at the low setting due to my lumbar disk issues. I'd have to arch my back when it started at my lower back. This third one is long enough to help my shoulders and neck when I lean back. As a vibration massager, it isn't as intense as the shiatsu massager but seems plenty vigorous at the highest setting, more so than the first unit. It also has 10 vibration units so it gets much more coverage. The expanded memory foam at the neck and lower back areas really helps me get relief. Third time is the charm! I ordered this Snailax back and shoulder massager yesterday and it was delivered before sunrise this morning. Thank you, Amazon! I have just finished moving into a new house and as a senior, the quick delivery came just in time. After the seemingly endless boxes and cleaning, painting and yardwork; the quick delivery was a godsend. This first 30 minute relaxation break has relieved my back and shoulder aches better than ibuprophen. I'm just about ready to go again! I'm glad I persisted in getting the right Snailax chair pad, not too short, just right. Thank you. Read more
11 16/2025 I've had a number of these vibrating massagers in the last 20 years no it does not get hot he gets warm I've had several that actually got hot and they did not last that long. This one vibrates very well the straps wouldn't fit around my lounge chair so I took the old straps and tied them to these straps and it strapped around the chair of course it would work on an office chair or something smaller without doing that. When I need more heat I use a regular heating pad along with this one. On an average you'll probably get three years out of this depending on the use and the chair you have it attached to. Read more
Okay got the Box ripped it open, didn't read instructions. Plugged it in cause my back was killing me. Put it on my reclining couch. Straps are no good for that. I know it's for a chair, but I'm using at home. Also have used it to lay down flat on the bed. I did not use the heat element because it's a 100° outside today. Already sweating, if you use it put a towel between you and the vibrating Mat because you will sweat. I like other consumers. I put it on high and I feel as though That should be the low setting, but it still feels good. It's stopped thr tingle in my feet. And subsided most of the Pain caused by my sciatic. As far as I'm concerned, I'm not a medical professional, but at least the pain shooting down. Both legs are gone for the most part Is gone. Also I haven't timed it, but it has an auto shut off so every 30 minutes or so, maybe less it turns off. You can turn it right back on. But I guess that's so you don't fall asleep with it going. I don't know, but it's a good product. Great price, as far as I'm concerned. Does give me some relief and I'm pleased with it. Read more
I wasn't set up to work from home full time, and I also have no desire to set up a full-time work-from-home office, at least not right now. This massage seat cushion is exactly what I need to help the areas of my back that ache from both the years of having a desk job and also under these unfortunate circumstances (trying to sit comfortably in a dining chair at a makeshift desk). Would I have loved a more expensive Shiatsu cushion better? I don't know, maybe, but I don't feel that that is a necessary luxury when really just a good warm massage is what I need. The Snailax Massage Seat Cushion is perfect for targeting the areas I need pain relief in, and the memory-foam in the lumbar area helps give me the comfortable support I need, as well. I love the heating capabilities to warm my back and loosen it up. It makes me feel like that helps the massage action work even better. I haven't been able to fully enjoy every area of massage and memory foam because of the type of chair I am using, unfortunately, but that's only the neck/shoulder area. I like that I can pinpoint certain areas to be massaged, as well, because towards the end of the day I sometimes just really want my seat area targeted with massage and heat. I really look forward to using this cushion on a road trip, because I start aching after about an hour on the road and I begin shifting around in my seat, trying to find some relief. This should enable me to just relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery! My only complaint is it is a little noisy, but so are the very expensive massage chairs I've sat in that are for sale in the malls. I think that's just the nature of the beast. Read more
