How to differentiate between 2D, 3D and 4D Massage Chairs
When looking for a suitable massage chair, you will come across the terms 2D, 3D and 4D Massage chairs. These terms might seem a bit confusing especially for a first time buyer who is yet to interact with massage chairs.
If you are as confused as this buyer, then this read will greatly benefit you. I believe that by the end of this blog, all your questions will be answered and it will become much easier for you to choose the right massage chair according to your needs.
2D Massage Chairs
2D rollers were the standard before the advancement to 3D rollers and now 4D rollers. When thinking about a 2D massage chair, imagine a traditional back roller massage.
These massage rollers move in two dimensions, that is, up and down or side to side. This means that the movement is from your neck down to your lower back or across. Although this movement may seem basic, it is effective, feels great and provides much of the benefits of a massage.
With 2D Massage chairs you get; alleviation of back pain, easing of sore muscles, stress relief and overall improvement of your health. However, it is important to note that 2D rollers only work on surface muscles. If you are looking for an exceptionally deep massage then the 3D and 4D massage chairs will be more suitable.
3D Massage Chairs
3D rollers create a more realistic massage experience; they take everything the 2D rollers do to the next level and top them with more features.
Unlike the 2D rollers that only move up and down or side to side, 3D rollers provide a 3rd dimension of massage. They can move left and right, up and down, and in and out. They can protrude further out from the track and reach places that are typically neglected by the average chair, including the upper neck and shoulder area. These movements help the rollers feel more like a human masseuse and give deep massages.
Other than that, 3D Massage Chairs allow you to adjust the intensity of the massage according to your needs and preferences. This is especially helpful for those who intend to get a massage chair to be used by multiple users.
4D Massage Chairs
Now that you have gotten a gist of what 2D and 3D massage chairs are, let us get into 4D massage chairs. 4D massage chairs are a lot like the 3D models.
The biggest difference between the two is that with 4D massage chairs, the rollers can speed up or slow down automatically so as to concentrate on specific tense muscles. Additionally, 4D massage chairs use 4D rollers which ensure deeper tissue massages.
Apart from that, 4D massage chairs give users more control. This means that users can customize their massage sessions without any hustle, and this is made possible by the variety of strength adjustments offered by these massage chairs.
Things to Look for When Buying A Massage Chair
There's a lot to consider when you're shopping for a massage chair — What do you want your massage chair to do for you? What's your budget? Where will it live? A high quality massage chair is an important investment, and one that shouldn't be made without some important considerations. Here are 12 key things to look for when buying a massage chair.
1.) Massage Functions
Low-end massage chairs usually offer little more than simple vibration and rolling massage. On the other hand, high-end massage chairs offer a wide variety of features to help put you at ease. These features often include, but certainly are not limited to:
All-inclusive menu of pre-programmed functions
2D (basic), 3D (adjustable) & 4D (variable) roller intensity
Heat therapy
Kneading
Reflexology
Rolling
Shiatsu
Sound therapy
Space-saving design
Tapping
Vibration
Zero gravity & inversion therapy
