Does the massaging mechanism make it uncomfortable to sit on when massaging not in use?

It is not uncomfortable at all. We barely use the massager, but find the comfort and the reclining function really great.

No, when not in use, you aren't aware that it has a messager. Chair is comfortable, either way.

I had one that did, but they returned it for another one.. I did come to find that you can easily adjust the massage probe manually

Yes, the massage sensors in the back kind of dig in about where your kidneys are, but you get used to them. Bothered me the first time I sat in it. Now I don't even notice them, seat ones are fine. I'd still buy it.

Actually, that is really why I bought it. However, it is very intense and I find that if I use it as designed, it makes my thumbs sore. So I do not strap it onto my hand very often which is counter to how it is designed to be used. It is supposed to vibrate the hand of the massager which would then be transferred to the massagee.

It will not do away with the discomfort but it will make it less painful for you to do the poses that require pressure and swinging over the wrists like downward dog, chaturanga, and backward bends. I had a similar problem and they were a tremendous help.

Yes. My husband says there is one trouble with this product and that is it becomes uncomfortable when you need to sit for a long period of time.

If you are asking can you massage yourself with it, yes. Though the companies smaller version would be better if self-message will be your mainstay --- it is heavy. I lay it on the bed and kinda roll my back up to it - seems to work ok. Far more relaxing though for my wife to work on my back and hamstrings. hope this helps? bill

I cannot answer that for overall head use. Not much tissue there so would probably be uncomfortable. Certainly would hurt if hair got caught in the massager heads.

Only gentle force should be used with this unit. Even seated, the pressure can be intense. Laying down on it would probably be very painful, not to mention damaging to the mechanism.

Yes, I found some success with this. You have to position the the seat cushion so one of the massage units is up against the lower back. The heat function is very good and sometimes I have to shut off the heat because it gets too hot. I leave the massage on constantly while I'm in the car.

No. I had it in the sitting position for most of the time that i used the mattress.

HiYou can :-). I use both features or just one of them. So yes you can just turn the heat on and not use the massage feature :-)

No. But may I recommend a pedal device? Both my father-in-law and my mother have used them while seated. Search for "pedal exerciser" and you'll see the choices. Mom's physical therapist brought one to the house.

No you could not feel the metal parts. You do feel the massager which in essence is a part but it is not uncomfortable at all. It has cushion but is not as soft as a thick seat cushion. It to me has the right combo for comfort.

I think so. I'm just so relaxed and warm getting the massage I don't really notice. My husband has major back pain issues and this massage device has saved him multiple times.

Usually, when you get a massage, you will be sore because the massage release the toxins into your body so you can expunge them, and often this will make you sore before you feel better. That being said, I have never had a problem with it before, but everyone is different. I would adjust how you are using it and if it doesn't help I would see a doctor, or return the item.

It can be painful. I don' t use it because it is supposed to relax, not to irritate.Feeling pain is mostly irritating

If you look at the picture you can kinda see the way the massaging rollers protrude...when placed on the spine its not gonna be so comfortable but because if it's size its easy to move around to find the right position that feels best for your back. Its still a significant size machine so no you can't really fall asleep with under you but if you're trying to find something to work out knots and massage sore areas it works good. If its a little rough maybe some light padding inbetween.with my housecoat on sitting on my couch using the zyllion I was very comfortable and you can choose to use or not use the heat option which is also nice.
