The Best Massage Chairs in Singapore to Use after a Long Day at Work

Or anytime of the day, really.

Between sitting at a desk for 8 hours, ageing, and keeping your balance on the MRT, it’s not unusual to experience muscle tension by the time you get home at night. Would be great to have a massage chair you can use everyday, wouldn’t it?

Before you dismiss this as a boujee luxury, hear us out. Divide the cost by the number of times you (and every member of your household) will get to enjoy it, plus the time you save on traveling to a reflexology centre, getting a massage chair does make economical sense.

With that, here are some of the best massage chair brands/models for different budgets and requirements.

OGAWA: Premium massage chairs for ultimate relaxation

There are regular massage chairs, then there’s the Biovis ($17,980) — OGAWA’s most advanced model. Rather than offering preset programmes, it senses your bioelectric signals and uses machine learning to choose from a whopping 10,800 massage combinations to best tackle your problem areas.

Plus, with over 10 patented technologies, it also responds to your body’s position, posture and pressure in real time, resulting in optimal precision as the massage is taking place.

That’s not all. Biovis can help to calm your mind as it does your body, with immersive light and sound therapy, as well as zero-gravity recline — all of which you can select via an easy-to-use 12-inch control pad.

Other noteworthy mentions from the brand include:

• Master Drive i2 (from $12,980): Choosing from 5,184 massage transformations, it likewise combines AI with hands-on personalization, adjusting pressure and technique based on your posture and fatigue.
• Genix 3 ($5,680): A space-saving option for small homes; petite but powerful, it delivers full-body relief backed by 29 years of OGAWA’s innovation.

Exclusive offer (updated as of 20 Aug 2025): Enjoy trade-in rebates without trading in any chair. Limited to the first 30 customers who flash this article in stores.

OSIM: An OG brand for massage chairs, trusted by many since 1979

Having been in Singapore’s wellness tech space for over four decades, OSIM is often one of the first brands that come to mind when you think about massage chairs. That said, the brand has come a long way since its inception, shifting its focus beyond regular massage chairs to create products that cater to their customers’ mental and physical wellbeing.

For example, the OSIM uDream Pro Well-Being Chair's built-in One Touch to Paradise programme brings you to an idyllic oasis of your choosing (Sunset Beach, Aurora Night, and Nature Bliss) with just one touch. With the help of features that engage your 5 senses, this massage programme elevates the experience beyond that of a regular massage, allowing you to feel good, stress less, and sleep better.

Additionally, the chair’s AI Biosensors are able to measure your stress levels in real-time, monitors it over time, and manages your stress with a customised massage programme, thus ensuring that you gain maximum relaxation based on your needs.

Needless to say, the brand also offers different types of chairs for different needs, starting at just $1,999. Noteworthy mentions include the following models that offer unparalleled relaxation, with cutting-edge V-Hand Technology that emulates the hand-grip of a professional masseuse:

• uDivine V2 Massage Chair: Uses OSIM AI Learning to deliver programmes tailored to each user’s preferences, with the patented 4-hands massage technology involving 4 rollers that mirror the feeling of 2 masseuses simultaneously massaging the upper and lower body
• uDeluxe Max Massage Chair: Dubbed the “The Most Attainable OSIM V-Hands Massage Chair Yet”, guaranteeing indulgence at great value (online exclusive but available for trial at outlets in footnote*)

*Available for trial at Great World City, Tampines Courts Megastore, Tiong Bahru Plaza, Causeway Point Metro, Junction 8 Kiosk and Jurong Point Kiosk.

Ergoworks: Sleek massage recliner chairs endorsed by healthcare professionals

If traditional massage chairs are too bulky for your liking (or simply not the silhouette you’re going for), Ergoworks' Zero Gravity Massage Recliners ($3,999) might just be the alternative you’ve been looking for.

Hand-sewn with European calf leather atop a solid Honey Wood frame, this statement piece at $3,999 adds a sophisticated touch to any living or study area it finds itself in.

Aesthetics aside, they’re designed to support the natural curve of your spine and elevate to a ZeroG position. This puts zero stress on your vertebrae, lowering your heart rate for instant relaxation. Additionally, 8 individual airbags independently inflate and deflate in the Air Massage Mode, and work together with heating features to relieve any muscle soreness you may be experiencing.

Don’t take our word for it, though. The Ergoworks Zero Gravity Massage Recliner has also been endorsed by The Chiropractic Association (Singapore) and Singapore Physiotherapy Association.

EMPIRE: Affordable massage chairs that don’t disappoint

We’ve all been there: entering the workforce at the prime of our youth, only to finally understand why our parents complain of backaches all the time. But if you’ve only been working for a few years, a legacy massage chair might be a stretch for your wallet.

Enter EMPIRE, a homegrown brand that makes massage chairs affordable (from as low as $999!) while still having all the functions expected of a full-body massage chair. These include a ‘10-hands’ sensation from your neck down to your hips, airbags for compression therapy, as well as leg and sole reflexology. It is also the first and only brand in Singapore to offer an adjustable intensity SE cushion and comes with a retractable (ergonomic) phone holder for you to watch your favourite dramas while enjoying a massage.

According to actual EMPIRE customers, the products indeed offer fantastic value for money, garnering many 5-star reviews. But if you’re still in doubt, the best thing you can do is to visit their store/showroom (details below) to try them out for yourself!
