One picture shows it being used while person is reclining. Can it be put on a bed to massage while one is lying down?

For me, it did a great job on the arches, and lower calves. very relaxing. Hope that helps.

I place it flat on the floor which would be no different than using it that way on a bed. I'm not sure if there are areas open for air flow (for cooling the motor) that might be compromised if placed on bed covers.

A friend of mine had one of these. I tried it and found it to be an awesome experience. But it was sitting on the floor. The device seems a bit heavy to put on a bed. However I suppose that if someone is physically impaired a caregiver might be able to help them get it in place.

No it wouldn't work. You could lye on the floor to do it. Hope I could help

I don't think so, I never tried that way. I don't think it is meant to use that way.

NO! This chair has a very big recline to it. You are almost laying down when just sitting in it. While it is comfortable, it is not the best chair for sitting upright. Not even in a living room setting. I actually had to make a new back cushion for it that made the chair a little more upright. Also, if you have carpet in the room, the chair will not rock. I tried getting a small thin rug for underneath to protect my wood floors, but the chair would not rock.

My husband uses it during side sleep. While it can be used for someone on their back, it's not ideal. So the answer is yes, with limitations.

I use it on patient lying in bed and find it works very well. Just remember to adjust arm/wrist position to heart level and support the arm in the correct position and limit arm movement. (That's important)

There is fabric over the butt pillow. You would need to remove that. Short of having a massage table, I can't see how you would use this, say face down on a bed unless you were interested in self suffocation or placing it on a toilet seat for a comfortable yak.

I use it mostly sitting up. I really think it will do the trick for you. Plus, when you can recline it is very comfortable. Hope this helps and good luck with healing process.

Absolutely not! I had to send it back because it was way too painful for my back. It has the Shiatsu roller balls that rotate preventing you from laying down. You would be better off with a regular massage mat for a chair, which you would be able to lay on.

This chair is not really a massage chair in my opinion.. It is a vibrating chair. Yes it does have different areas of vibration which you can use individually or in combination with another area at the same time. In addition there are different levels of vibration intensity that can be selected as well. So in my opinion, this is a great comfortable vibrating chair. But if you're looking for massage think about the more expensive options

It is flexible enough that I would state that it would fit & can be adjusted on a recliner but I cannot guarantee full comfort since every person is different. I do have a recliner that I use frequently for resting purposes but I do not use this mat in there, I prefer to use it @ our adjustable bed while I watch TV when I get my intermittent LBP (Low Back Pain). The mat is soft with a soothing covering cloth. I have to use the maximum vibrating level to get relief with it. Even though acceptable in its effectiveness, I would have liked for it to have had one higher level of vibration. The vibrating sections are localized @ different levels which one can adjust depending where one has pain. It is a light weight mat & it is nice looking even though this last quality is irrelevant since one is looking for pain relief not its looks. This is a vibrating massager not a drum massager.

Yes it does recline all the way back so that one person could sleep on it, however it is not very wide and could fall backward if not balanced correctly.

Due to the size and thickness of the unit it may not be comfortable to sit in bed and lean on it while its in use. Sit in a chair is the best position to use in my opionon. Good luck

Actually it can although it may be a little large for some rooms. I have them on the deck off my TV room and my girlfriend brings one in occasionally to watch TV, she says the are more comfortable then the seating I have. Remember they are lounge chairs so sitting upright is not their purpose. Very, very comfortable for reclining.

In my opinion, no. The cushion squishes a lot from the weight of a person and moves on the chair it is placed on, so it needs to be repositioned as the person sits.

Can't say I've ever tried doing that with my HoMedics Massager, but I think it probably can be done. I don't believe there's anything that forces the back of the chair to stay in an upright position, so you could probably lay it flat and turn it on while laying in a hospital bed.

You need to recline to be comfortable. It is not meant to be used in the upright position.

I've been able to lay on it on my bed to get a back massage but I think it would be painful to put all your weight on it laying right on top. I usually half lay on my side.

I don't think so - it is very soft. My husband and I purchased this for that very purpose. We unwrapped it, put a mattress cover on it, put it on our bed and laid on it. Immediate back pain for both of us. We laid there about 5 minutes and it just got worse. So we returned it. Minus a huge restocking fee. And less than pleasant customer service.
