The Homedics MCS-200H Shiatsu Massage Cushion

Bought this for my Pregnant daughter because she was having extreme back pain. Product has provided relief heat is not too hot yet warm enough to help loosen tense muscles. The massage action of the unit work well with constant up and down motion. The Shiatsu units work well rolling up and down and providing relief with the rolling action of the massagers. I would recommend this product to anyone having back issues.

For a portable massager this was a great buy for the price. The heat setting is awesome. Me and my husband have to hide it when company comes because they all want to try it out. There was no delay in shipping.

The Quad-Roller Massaging Cushion is easy to set up and begin operating. You just prop it on a chair or couch (there are straps you can use to tie it in place if your chair allows) and plug it in. There is a remote control pocket attached to the chair on the right. The remote is attached to the chair by a cord: in other words, it won’t be joining other remotes in your couch cushions, which is great. The remote control itself is laid out very sensibly, so that it’s very easy to operate.

There are two types of massage, shiatsu and rolling, either of which can be used with or without heat. Shiatsu massage is a deeper massage and feels like a knobby ball is being rolled around your back. Rolling massage is gentler and feels like wheels are rolling up and down alongside your spine, which is pretty much just what’s happening: there are two rollers on either side of the chair. The horizontal distance between them can be adjusted using the width button. (There is a demo feature on the remote which gives a quick run-through of all the cushion’s settings.)

Both types of massage, shiatsu and rolling, can be concentrated on the upper or lower back or set to massage the full back. In addition, in the shiatsu mode you can concentrate the massage on a single spot, adjusting it using up and down buttons.

I haven’t tried other massage cushions/chairs, so I can’t compare this product with the competition. Nor can I speak to the product’s endurance, as I haven’t used it yet for a long time. But these are the cushion’s pros and cons as I see them:

PROS:
– Easy to operate
– Sensibly designed remote control
– Remote can’t get lost
– Light weight
– Auto shut-off after 15 minutes
– It feels pretty darn good

CONS:
– The rollers don’t go up high enough to reach my shoulders (I’m 5’9″). People with upper back problems may not find this cushion helpful.

I used to wake up every morning with a stiff back, feeling like my spine would splinter if I twisted at all. That doesn’t happen anymore, but boy would I have wanted this chair then, particularly the rolling full-back massage.

The video should give you a good sense of how the chair operates. Enjoy.
