Two of the absolute best high-end massage chairs are made by Sanyo and by Omega massage. Both of these manufacturers have solid reputations in very reliable massage chairs. Omega massage produces the Montage Premier massage chair and Sanyo produces the DR 7700 massage chair. Both of these massage recliners are packed with some amazing features. We take a look at both of these models to help you decide which one will best fit your needs.

When you first sit in the Sanyo DR7700 and it is on a smaller frame. The Montage Premier on the other hand seems to more envelop your body more comfortably. It can accommodate much taller users than the other one. However, when people who were 5 foot one tried the Montage massage chair, they thought they also fit into the chair well.

The Sanyo comes with some amazing electronic features. One of the electronic systems integrated into the massage chair is a physical shape sensor. The physical shape sensor determines how your body is sitting in the chair. If you move during the massage, then the shape sensor redirects the massage based on your new body position.

The luxury model by Omega comes with body scanning technology as well. When an automatic massage program is activated, then a body scan is taking. The rollers will move up and down the back and determine important points of the neck and shoulders. The massage is adjusted according to the coordinates imported from the body scan.

The DR luxury model has 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 has developed a five different massage programs for their high end massage chair. Each of these five programs is designed for specific user requirements. There are lighter massages for her warming up and also ones for deep tissue penetration. Select the automatic massage that best suits your needs at any given time.

The HEC-DR7700 massage chair comes with four automatic massage programs. Each of these automatic programs runs the full massage chair. Each massage course is approximately 15 minutes. The massage courses range from shiatsu to gentle tapping. The massages are soothing but seemed to lack a bit in penetration.

The high end Premier also provides additional therapeutic treatments beyond the massage therapy. It is also equipped with full body heaters. The HEC luxury recliner has a heater only for the soles of the feet. Heat is commonly applied to help reduce swelling and to enhance blood flow.

The 7700 recliner is also a zero gravity recliner. The zero gravity position is used to better distribute the weight of the body and to relax the spine. The other does not recline as far back as the other for the zero gravity position. The Montage luxury model, however, does come with a lower body stretching system. This stretching system enables you to elongate the muscles from the hips to your ankles.

The high end chairs also has an 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.

In comparing the Sanyo DR 7700 to the Omega Montage Premier, we find that the Montage Premier massage chair provides superior effective massage therapy. The Sanyo massage chair has some interesting technological features, but we feel that the therapeutic features of the Montage Premier provide a more comprehensive massage treatment. The Montage Premier massage chair by Omega provides for the best overall massage experience.
