FAQs About Massage Chairs in NZ
-
ITSU leads the New Zealand market on features that change how a massage chair actually feels: the longest tracks (up to 1.38m), the deepest roller reach (13.5cm), and sonic frequency technology no other brand sells here.
What sets ITSU apart:
Sonic technology — 60–100Hz frequencies that reach fascia and connective tissue layers physical rollers can't. Exclusive to ITSU in New Zealand.
Coverage — 1.35–1.38m S+L tracks vs the 1.0–1.2m industry standard. Roughly 30% more spine covered.
Direct pricing — $2,000–$5,000 less than mall-based brands at equivalent feature level, because we don't pay mall rent.
The showroom — a 45-minute consultation in Highland Park, not a 10-minute mall demo.
Proven — 4.9 stars across 180+ verified Google reviews. 1000+ customers.
We'd rather you didn't take our word for it. Visit OSIM and iRelax first. Then come to us. Customers who compare consistently tell us the difference is obvious in the first minute.

Yes — and we'd genuinely encourage it. Every purchase starts with an unhurried 45-minute consultation at our Highland Park showroom. Try every model, bring the family, no pressure.
We also encourage you to shop around first. Visit OSIM, iRelax, Good Massage and iRest. Massage preference is personal — what feels right to one person doesn't to another — and the only way to understand the ITSU difference is to sit in the chairs and compare. Most people who try the others come back.
After-work consultations are often possible — just message or call to arrange a time.
