We take a look at two of the high-end luxury massage chairs available on the market today. One of the massage chair is it is manufactured by Sanyo and the other by Omega massage. The Sanyo model is the DR 7700 in the Omega model is the Montage Premier massage chair. Both of these manufacturers produce high-quality massage chairs and have national distribution. They also have many different features, so selecting between the Sanyo massage chair and the Omega massage chair can be quite a decision.

The fit of the massage chair is always important. When you sit down in both chairs, you will notice some slight differences. The Sanyo seems for me to be somewhat on the small side for a high-end chair. The Omega Montage Premier on the other hand seemed to envelop me when seated. It just seemed to feel plusher than the Sanyo. The Omega certainly could fit taller people much better than the Sanyo could.

Let's start with an advanced feature of the Sanyo DR 7700 massage chair. This massage chair comes with a physical shape sensor. This sensor detects you are body position in the chair and will adjust the massage is the body is shifted. This helps keep the massage mechanism aligned with your body throughout the massage treatment.

The Omega Montage Premier massage chair comes equipped with a body scan to detect key points in the back and shoulder. Each of the automatic massage programs starts with a body scan before commencing a full body massage. These massage program is adjusted based on the individual regions of the user.

Sanyo has equipped the DR 7700 with its stiffness detection system. The stiffness detection system uses input from your hand to determine stress points throughout your body. Specifically, your hand is cupped over a secondary remote which then records your pulse rate and perspiration. This information is then used to determine where stress points are residing in your body.

The Montage Premier comes with five automated massage programs. Each of the five massage programs delivers a full body massage. These programs are designed to address different types of needs. Some are more deep tissue related while others are for warm up and invigoration.

Sanyo has equipped the DR 7700 massage chair with four automatic programs. These programs also are full body massage programs. Many of these programs are fairly subtle and not as deep penetrating. This seemed to be one of the drawbacks of the DR 7700 massage chair.

The Montage Premier also provides additional therapeutic treatments beyond the massage therapy. The Montage Premier has full body heaters. The Sanyo DR 7700 has a heater only for the soles of the feet. Heat is commonly applied to help reduce swelling and to enhance blood flow.

Omega has included a lower body stretching system and the Montage Premier massage chair. This lower body stretching will stretch out the muscles from the hips knees and ankles. This helps to relieve pressure off the lower spine and to relieve the legs. The Sanyo DR 7700 can recline back into the zero gravity position. This position helps to take pressure off of the spine and better distribute it across your back.

The Montage Premier also has and MP3 music player with headphones. This provides a relaxing environment which dramatically increases the effectiveness of the massage. One cannot underestimate the impact of relaxing your mind during a massage. If your mind is under stress come in it will hold tension over the body. The mind needs to relax and release this tension. This will ensure that the massage better penetrates the muscles.

After putting both chairs through their paces, we find that the Omega Montage Premier is the superior massage chair. The end result of any massage chair is to provide relief and relaxation.

The features of the Montage Premier add therapeutic value to the chair, whereas the Sanyo DR 7700 has more gimmicky features.
