The Japanese company Inada’s latest chair, the D.1 massager ($4,900), has infrared sensors that seek out each user’s pressure points. Meanwhile, the Panasonic Swede-Atsu Massage Lounger (at just under $1,600) combines Swedish massage and shiatsu, which applies pressure to certain key points throughout the back.

If your budget is lower, and style is of no concern, your best bet may be Interactive Health’s iJoy, priced at a measly $699 and available in choice colors: orange, eggplant and lime green. Hey, it’s not how it looks but how you feel.
