Good massage chairs also provide massage for the calves using an airbag technology. The air bags inflate and deflate in succession to simulate the hands of a massage therapist's hands moving along your legs with constant motion toward the heart. This is excellent for anyone with leg circulation problems. It most definitely increases circulation in the legs. However, there are two important things to look for best recliner for watching tv First, the number of independently inflating air bags makes a difference. More air bags tends to enhance the simulation of an actual therapist. Of course, the price increases with more airbags. Do not consider a chair with a small number of airbags. Shop around. Second, some chairs have airbags on just one side of the leg. So the feeling is like the leg is being squeezed against a cushioned board on one side. Airbags should be on both sides of the legs for maximum therapeutic benefit. The chair should let you adjust the amount of pressure applied by the airbags.

Air bags can also be used for the feet, thighs, and butt. The same considerations apply to the feet as to the calves. Go for a minimum of six airbags for the feet. The thighs and bottom will only have airbags applied to the back of the legs and bottom. There is no way to apply it to the top part of the thigh. Don't overlook these features, particularly if you have leg circulation problems.
