This massage recliner is what is known as a zero gravity lounger. What is a zero gravity lounger? This is a combination of the chair back and leg rest position that makes it a zero gravity position. This position is where your knees are elevated above your heart. It is supposed to take the direct pressure from the spine and distribute it across the whole back.
The recline function to the zero gravity position is highly engineered for ergonomics and that translates into comfort. For example, the armrests move independently of the chair back at the perfect ratio between the arms and the body. This ensures there is no stress or tension on the neck, shoulder or arms in the zero gravity position.
The seat of the HT7450 is also specially designed for getting you to the zero gravity position. The seat will actually tilt down as you recline the chair. This is designed to support the lumbar better over traditional chairs. By supporting the lumbar, the stress from your weight is better distributed than if it does not tilt down.
Let us take a look at the massage capabilities of this massage recliner. There are 8 pre-programmed automatic programs with this chair. These are one button massage choices which work the whole chair. There are four manual massage techniques. You can select the area or region you want to target with these techniques. The seat has 8 different massage treatments and the leg rest has calf massage capability.
The 8 pre-programmed massages are well designed and thought out from a massage therapy point of view. For instance, there is The Full Body Sore Muscle Relief massage. This starts off with a 3 minute warm up massage. It then goes into a 9 minute high intensity massage to deeply penetrate and soothe the muscles. Then it ends with a 3 minute warm down massage. The massage therapies are very effective on the HT 7450.
Overall, the HT 7450 zero gravity massage lounger is a solid contender in the high end luxury massage chair market. It boasts a sleek, modern design and can go in most rooms. It is made with top grain leather, which is a bit of a concern with the built in heaters in the chair back. In the past, these have lead to the leather cracking over time. Hopefully, this is not the case with this lounger. The massage therapy is well designed and effective for targeting relief. You should consider this massage chair if you are looking for a higher end massage chair recliner. - 30553
