Which iRest massage chairs heat the back?

The back is heated with a graphene heating mat on iRest Brillactiq, Grandease, Supearl+, Supearl Open+, Chillin+, Chillin Open and QL. Easyq uses a carbon mat with a comparable effect. Maesthron and Dual Core V8 heat the back and torso and add jade heating built into the massage mechanism.

Which model heats the hands and calves?

The only model with heating in the hands, calves and waist is the iRest Eagleton. It does not heat the back. You can switch the zones on individually or all at once and set the intensity in three levels.

Can I turn on heating without a massage program?

Yes. On models with a heating mat in the backrest, heating switches on independently of the massage program, so you can start it a few minutes before the massage to warm the muscles. The jade heating on the Maesthron and Dual Core V8 works during the massage itself.

Does massage chair heating replace medical treatment?

No. Heating is a comfort feature during the massage, not a treatment. If you have chronically cold extremities or circulation problems, talk to a doctor before using the chair.

Heating in iRest massage chairs: where and how it works

Most iRest models heat only the back with a graphene mat, while three models extend heating to the hands and calves or to the whole torso. An overview of which model heats where.

Heating is a commonly mentioned feature in massage chairs, but among iRest models it varies quite a bit which part of the body it actually warms and by what method. Most models in the range use a graphene heating mat built into the backrest.

That basic setup, a graphene heating panel in the back, is found on iRest Brillactiq, Grandease, Supearl+, Supearl Open+, Chillin+, Chillin Open and QL. It provides steady, even warmth across the backrest, switched on independently of the massage program. iRest Easyq heats the back the same way but uses a carbon heating mat instead of graphene, with a comparable effect for the user.

Three models extend heating to other areas. iRest Maesthron and the Dual Core V8 built on it go furthest: besides back and torso heating with the graphene mat, they have jade heating built directly into the massage mechanism, warming the area from neck to hips during the massage itself. They are the models with the most heated zones in the range.

iRest Eagleton is the exception: it does not heat the back at all. Instead it has heating fibre at the waist, hands and calves. If warm hands and calves matter more to you than a warm back, Eagleton is the only model built for that.

Which heating setup suits you depends mainly on where you tend to feel cold first while sitting. For simple, reliable back warmth, most of the range covers that. For warm hands and calves, Eagleton is the one to look at, and for the most complete heating, Maesthron or Dual Core V8. Heating here remains a comfort feature during the massage, not a treatment; for chronic cold extremities or circulation issues, check with a doctor first.

For exact specifications of each model, see each model's page under massage chairs, or compare several at once with the model comparison. If you are not sure which model fits your habits, send us your question through the inquiry form.
