10 Best Massage Chairs Under $2000 to Help You Unwind After a Stressful Day

Kahuna is a well-known manufacturer of massage chairs that are ideally suited for taller users. Many massage chairs can accommodate users up to 6’ tall, but many Kahuna chairs are designed for 6’4” and some even 6’5”. Kahuna also has a “Yoga Body Stretch” feature to give the user a gentle and comfortable workout. The LM-6800 may be the best zero gravity massage chair under $2,000 and it’s our Editor’s choice for this list. We loved the ultra-long massage track, the user gets a great back massage, but their glutes and thighs also get a relaxing massage experience.

There are 3 different zero gravity seating options to improve the massage quality for each user. The rollers are adjusted using a built-in computer that scans the body and makes adjustments automatically. But, if the user wants to fine tune their experience they can also make manual adjustments too. The Kahuna LM-6800 has an easy to use remote that makes fine adjustments a breeze.

The LM-6800 utilizes space saving technology to reduce the overall footprint of the chair. This massage chair pivots on its base as the chair is reclined so you don’t need an extra foot or two of space around the chair. This massage chair has plenty of options, the air massage is acceptable, but the roller options are excellent, the advanced Shiatsu technique is a stand-out feature. The user can interrupt the massage program at any time and place the focus of the rollers in a specific spot to improve the experience.
