Massage therapy effectively delivers numerous health benefits, one of which is better sleep quality. This is because, during the session, your brain is triggered to release neurotransmitters, including serotonin. As a result, you’ll feel calm and relaxed, helping you have uninterrupted rest. This positive effect is even enhanced with massage chairs, such as models that offer zero gravity positioning.
Introduction
The zero gravity position is a posture invented by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for astronauts during launch. This reclines their body so that their head and knees are placed on a slightly higher level than their heart.
The body is therefore positioned to form a 120-degree angle. Providing a feeling of weightlessness and equalizing the pressure they experience as the gravitational force rapidly changes.
However, besides being optimal to prepare astronauts for launch, zero gravity also comes with health benefits. It relieves the pressure weighing on your heart and spine, improving blood circulation and reducing back pains. You can alleviate swelling and help your muscles recover faster with increased blood flow. This can also help reduce risks of health conditions like high blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol.

If you just want a simple zero gravity recline experience, check out the Synca Zero Gravity SL Track Heated Massage Chair CirC+.

This massage chair focuses on bringing relaxation and improving wellness without being flashy. That much can be seen from its compact and minimalistic design.
The Synca CirC+ doesn’t have armrests nor footrests, so its massage mechanisms only target your neck down to your hamstrings. In fact, its rail track goes up to 44 inches long, and you can even target specific body regions.
It also has heating pads on both the lumbar and legs areas. Most importantly, you can use it to recline to the zero gravity position. This is to enhance your comfort and make the therapy more effective.
Sharper Image Revival Massage Chair
Original Price: $3,999
The design of the previous massage chair model allows it to require only a tiny space. That makes it ideal for those with not much room for the machine. However, it can’t perform massages to the whole body, which might not be what you’re going for. This is where the Sharper Image Revival Massage Chair comes on the scene. Besides being more comprehensive, it comes with a space-saving design.
That space-saving feature is applied when the massage chair reclines to the zero gravity position. As the seat slides backward to get you to the desired posture, it moves forward simultaneously.
This allows the massage chair to require only two inches of space away from the wall. Therefore, although the Sharper Image Revival is bulkier than the previous model, it still takes up less space than others.
