Inada Sogno Dreamwave Massage Chair
Inada still claims after 9 years after its release that the Inada Dreamwave is the World’s Best Massage Chair. It may have been back then, but today there are definitely some better alternatives on the market for the price.

The Inada Dreamwave now retails for $8,799 after it latest price increase, which happens every year even though it’s the same chair. You would think with the price increase that there were some significant changes. That’s not the case and it has not been upgraded in years other than a few new programs and losing the Sogno from the name.

Over the last couple months, we have had tons of emails asking us about alternative massage chairs that are comparable to the Inada Dreamwave, but are actually worth the price in terms of features. So today I will be suggesting some alternative from some of the top brands in the industry. These have tons of advanced features, better price tags, a stylish look and of course are great quality massage chairs.

Let’s check them out below.

 

Ogawa Smart 3D Massage Chair

Manufacturer:  Ogawa Massage Chairs

Ogawa Smart 3D
This is the most advanced massage chair that we have seen hit the market. It was recently released by Ogawa one of the top health & wellness brands in the world. The Ogawa Smart 3D is well….Smart.

During setup it asks for some biometrics and then creates a customized massage program based on each unique individual. It is the only massage chair that is fully updatable by WiFi and you can even download new programs when they become available. It has patented SmartSense technologies which are airbags that have sensors in them so they can to adjust the PSI of the compression for each user so it never will squeeze to strong.

Final Thoughts:

I hope this helps you in your search for a massage chair. We do agree that the Inada Dreamwave is a great massage chair. It just lack some features for the price. The massage chair industry has come a long way over the last ten years, and we feel there are better alternatives on the market today in terms of features and price point.
