Claim:
A chair for use as a seat and a massager comprising: a. a horizontal base; b. a seat bottom connected to the base, the seat bottom having a soft seating surface; c. a seatback fixed to the seat bottom and having a front seating surface for supporting a seated user's upper torso; d. a seat back cavity formed in the seatback and holding a massaging unit; and at least one cushion flap removably attached to the seatback cavity for selectively providing extra cushion between the seatback cavity and massaging unit in a seat mode when the seat back cavity and massaging unit are covered by the cushion flap, whereby the flap can add or subtract cushion to and from the front seating surface wherein the cushion flap has a hinged connection to the seatback and has a proximal edge with its middle portion recessed and attached to the front seating surface so that the rest of the proximal edge of the flap is normally pushed by the front seating surface to keep the flap laid flat before and after its pivotal movement into either a first inactive position away from the central area of the front seating surface but close to the periphery of the seatback or a second active position superimposing substantially half the central area of the front seating surface.
