Suggestions for a good massage chair/pad?

[JoeFahey]

I have tried the HoMedics Shiatsu massage pad and it was nice. It seems like a much better alternative to those $5000 massage chairs. My price range would be under $200. So a pad is probably the only good option. This would be for a back massage, no feet/calves. Also, are there any good ones that can be put in the seat of a car while you drive or ride?

Thanks!

I am assuming that no on replied to this because everyone on here has a girlfriend to do the massaging for them.

For those seeking a non-vibrating seat cushion, consider the Gel-Tec contour cushion - recliner variation.

HoMedics Shiatsu massage pad

Shiatsu my ass. HoMedics should be sued for using the term Shiatsu. A Shiatsu massage uses pressure points and the meridians in the body. totally misleading name they chose.

How are these cushions for a car seat? My seat is not very cushiony and I need something else to help support my rear end.

Are these GEL pad cushions worth all the hype?

My contour cushion is around 2 years old (grey in color) but works equally well at the computer or in a vehicle at reducing the pressure points. It is not a "double", so seating is only slightly elevated. Unlike most foams, the support properties of the silicone-rubber type material does not appear to degrade. They are expensive, but I have never regretted the purchase. Amortized over the hours used so far, it has been a good investment.
