The size of the domestic massage chair market, which is steadily growing, is currently estimated to be around KRW 1 trillion. Since Bodyfriend, which has created and grown the massage chair market in the barren country, many latecomers have jumped in, and various products such as brands, prices, design, and performance are pouring into the domestic market. Consumers who are at the crossroads of choosing products in these markets must have the right standards. Here are three things to consider when purchasing products from Bodyfriend, a representative massage chair brand.
Since the purpose of purchasing a massage chair is "massage" after all, the most basic thing to consider is "massage". From healthcare robots that maximize various movements to small massage devices, there are differences in the composition of massage programs and massage module technology for each product, so the feeling of massage is different. This is why it is important to choose a product supported by advanced massage module technology.

From massage devices that provide only simple acupressure functions to XD massage modules that massage finely like human hands in millimeters, user satisfaction may vary by brand and product, so it is better to check the performance clearly through actual experience in the lounge near your house before purchasing.

The second thing is safety. As it is a device that generates large and small movements for massage, homes with dogs or infants often worry about safety accidents. When choosing a product, you must check whether the product is a brand product with a proper device for this safety. The more familiar brands are with massage chairs, the more they put their heart and soul into preparing for such safety accidents.

Bodyfriend is equipped with up to 17 advanced safety sensors in each part of the massage chair for each product to prevent safety accidents. If an object or movement is detected during product operation, the product stops immediately and can quickly respond to emergency situations through guidance. If it is not a problem situation, it is allowed to decide whether to re-operate again to prevent secondary and tertiary accidents in advance. Bodyfriend also has a power outage protection button technology that is applied with patent technology that moves to its original location even if there is a sudden power outage.

The free after-sales service period is also important. The massage chair varies depending on the user, but it is not unreasonable to use it for at least five years. According to Bodyfriend, the demand for repurchases is increasing due to demands to upgrade to the latest high-performance products, although they also use them for more than a decade depending on users.

Bodyfriend is the only company in the industry to be responsible for all models with a free five-year warranty, and you can receive services comfortably for five years without worrying about AS costs. It would be better to choose a reliable manufacturer's product and use customer service comfortably. Recently, Bodyfriend has launched "The Care Service," which periodically manages massage chair products, and is also working to improve customer satisfaction.
