Massage chair by height: which model fits you
The Maesthron, Chillin+ and Chillin Open fit users up to 200 cm, the Easyq up to 180 cm. Why height matters and how chairs adapt to shorter users.
If you're up to 200 cm tall, the iRest Maesthron A801, Chillin+ A360 and Chillin Open A360-31 will fit you. The Eagleton, Brillactiq A665 and Grandease+ A550 are rated for users up to 195 cm, the Supearl+ A336 up to 190 cm, and the compact Easyq A166 up to 180 cm. Height limits don't follow price: the Chillin Open at €1,970 takes the same height of user as the Maesthron at €9,470.
Why height matters in a massage chair
A massage chair adapts to your body only within limits set by its frame. The massage heads travel along a track in the backrest, and that track has a fixed length. On the Maesthron A801 it covers 153 cm of the body, on the Brillactiq A665 135 cm, in both cases from the neck to the thighs.
That's why every model's specifications list a maximum user height. Up to that limit, the chair adapts to you through its settings. Beyond it, no setting can add length to the track or the leg rest.
Weight is the second limit. Most iRest models take users up to 150 kg, while the Eagleton and Easyq A166 take up to 120 kg.

You'll find every model with its dimensions, weight and price side by side in our massage chair comparison.
If you're tall
If you're close to 200 cm, choose from the models rated to 200 cm, even if another model appeals to you more. A chair that puts you right at its limit is a worse choice than one with a few centimetres to spare.
Look closely at the leg rest. The Maesthron A801 and Grandease+ A550 have a powered extending footrest that detects your leg length by itself. The Brillactiq A665 lengthens or shortens its leg rest to your feet when you raise or lower it, and you can also set the length by hand. On the Eagleton you set the leg rest length at the start of the massage, with a separate setting for the zero gravity position.
The Chillin Open A360-31 is the version without a foot massager. If foot massage doesn't matter to you, it's the most affordable iRest chair rated to 200 cm.
Got larger feet? The Maesthron A801 lets you set your foot size in bands from 35–36 to 44–46. The Supearl+ A336 has an open foot massager with room for bigger shoe sizes.
If you're shorter
The manufacturer doesn't give a minimum user height in its specifications, so for shorter people the settings are what count. Before the massage starts, the chair scans your body and moves the massage heads to shoulder height. On the Supearl+ A336 and Maesthron A801 you can then fine-tune the shoulder position in 11 steps. On the Easyq A166 you adjust it with the up and down buttons after two beeps. The Chillin+ A360 has dedicated shoulder buttons on its remote.
When the massage heads don't reach the shoulders or neck, the iRest manuals point to a common cause: your head isn't resting on the head cushion, or your back isn't against the backrest, so the chair reads your shoulders lower than they are. Sit all the way back, rest your head and restart the massage. That applies whatever your height.
When several people share the chair
If more than one person in the household will use the chair, choose by the tallest and heaviest of them. A shorter user can set the shoulder position for themselves, but a chair with a lower limit can't add length for a taller one.
Memory helps when the chair is shared. The Supearl+ A336 and Grandease+ A550 store 3 programmes. The Eagleton saves a user profile, so it doesn't need to rescan your body, and it has a guest profile too.
Height isn't the only measurement
Once you know which models suit your build, check the space. A chair gets longer when it reclines: the Maesthron A801 then measures 194 cm, the Easyq A166 169 cm. Dimensions for every model are collected on the massage chairs in numbers page, and the other steps of choosing are in our buying guide.

Frequently asked questions
- Which massage chair suits someone who's 2 metres tall?
- According to the manufacturer, the iRest Maesthron A801, Chillin+ A360 and Chillin Open A360-31 suit users up to 200 cm. All three take up to 150 kg. The Maesthron costs €9,470 and the Chillin Open €1,970, so the height limit isn't tied to the price range.
- Is a massage chair suitable for shorter people?
- Yes. iRest chairs scan your body before the massage and move the massage heads to shoulder height, and you can fine-tune the position by hand, in 11 steps on the Supearl+ A336 and Maesthron A801. Sit all the way back with your head on the head cushion, or the chair will read your shoulders too low.
- How much weight can a massage chair take?
- Most iRest models take users up to 150 kg, while the Eagleton and Easyq A166 take up to 120 kg. If several people share the chair, choose by the heaviest and tallest of them, because a chair with a lower limit can't add length for a taller user.
