The chair I replaced with this one cost more than twice as much and was nowhere near as comfortable as this one. Not only is it a good size the padding is very comfortable and it opens out enough to support a 6f man. The massage abilities are also fantastic along with the heat at the base of the spine. I suffer a medical condition that causes constant pain all over and sitting in this chair with the massage on auto and the heat on on my back has been the best relief yet. I used to have to go and lie down. I would recommend it to anyone that suffers from pain and anyone that just likes heat and a massage.
