What type of massage does this cushion make besides the heating? is a vibration type massage or has a shiatzu circular mode type of massage?

You can set to only massage some of your back or all over it. It can be set to massage intermitently or steady. Great product after hetic day at work

Vibration. This seat has various modes, speeds and intensities, so as far as vibration car massagers go, this is a decent one. I've had them with the massagers right down the middle which aggravated my spine. My only dislike with this one is that the two leg massagers poked into my legs and were uncomfortable, but I was able to fold the bottom cushion behind the back cushion and use it as extra lumbar support. Hope this helps.

It feels to be a vibrating massage. It has different patterns it will do, up and down, alternating spots, covers neck, upper back, middle back, lower back and the back of upper legs. You can pick which areas you want it to cover and the intensity and speed. I had one similar to this one before and I like this one much better. Hope this helps!

Hi, Amazon e-mailed me asking me if I would answer your question...I returned this model in favor of my "go to" Five S 10 Motor Massage Cushion available at Amazon, as well. As I wrote in my review, it did NOT massage my lower back because the massagers were way too wide - they didn't hit the lower back since they were spaced too far apart. It might work for a man, but I had several of my girlfriends try it, and they had the same problem. The guys thought it was okay...also, the seat area got uncomfortably hot - I thought I was sitting on a hot griddle. Try the Five Star.

I haven't tried the other one, but this one can make you feel bruised you if you lean against it too hard. I control the pressure by adjusting my posture. I have read of others using other pillows around it to support you so that your full weight isn't against just the shiatsu pillow. Because it's smaller than one of the "chair-sized" massagers, it's easy to make adjustments as needed.

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

Hi Aug. I have to say that I really like my massager (MCS-510H). My principal problem is mid-back, however---it does just what I need there. For lower back it will do the same thing---that is, sort of roll around the area---not just up & down. But that area is more boney and the massage just doesn't go deep enough to do a really good job. That said, I don't think any of the chair-style massagers will do better. One thing I really do appreciate is its ability to concentrate on one area (low, for instance)---and then you can also "spot" massage by pressing up or down buttons to put it right where you need it. All in all, I think its damn good for the price. Tom Hi Aug. I have to say that I really like my massager (MCS-510H). My principal problem is mid-back, however---it does just what I need there.

Yes but not in a typical massage finger-like fashion - the effect is more like a pair of paddles being pushed against the right and left shoulder-neck area. To me the chair is most effective when massaging, (in a rolling motion,) the lower back and spine .

Vibrating. This was used on me at a salon and I wanted one but they were out so I bought mine here. They suggested that it's easier to use over a thin piece of clothing but I found it to be better used on bare skin. I have severe back pain (3 spine surgeries) and this does wonders in helping to relieve the kinked up muscles I get and helps me to fall asleep. Hope I've helped!

There is no heat and the massage is light it is vibration, good for relaxation. As far as the fit I am 6'2" and >250 it is fine.

yeah, guess it does say that -- actually I'd not buy this product if you are looking for a cushion to compensate for posture -- it has 8 pads that provide several levels and modes of vibration -- also heat. I use the vibration functions to assist my really skrewed-up lumbar and it provides considerable relief, quickly, and with some lasting effect. pads at back of thigh (hamstrings') and mid back at base of trapezius and bottom of shoulder blades provides a lot of relief -- but that's MY back. If you're getting chronic issues because of posture or upper-body mass distribution I'd probably look for a different product.

Distributed by Gardena, California, made in China, it's has a very strong Shiatsu roller pressure along the spine. If, you haven't had a Shiatsu Massage before, you will not be use to that direct strong pressure, you may not like it

Sure can, actually I don't use the massage feature at all. Kind of annoying to me, especially when driving. I use the heat feature all the time,

It buzzes. sort of. Vibrates. Doesn't really massage. There's no rolling or anything. Just vibration.

The answer is what the other two respondents said, but this product is very low quality and doesn't work that well. There are much better quality versions of such a massage.

It does get the trapezius, and very nicely. One of the things you can do in custom mode is set the width.. so if you need some extra attention in close to the spine, you can set it for narrow.. if you need it farther out, you can set it that way, too. The neck, well, it'll get your neck, but it seems to lighten up a little in that area and isn't the best part of the massage,

Even on "light" the shiatsu massage is pretty strong. The first time I used it, the bottoms of my feet were a little sore the next morning -- but I've found if I don't press down on my heels when I'm using it, it's perfect. I love my Shiatsu Foot Massager and use it almost nightly.

This massager has several speeds and three different heads so the intensity of the vibration to me feels like it is sort of tapping, depending on what part of the body you have it on, and which head you're using. This is a very good massager, very intense vibration even on low setting, the best massager I have owned, I hope this helps

The chair massages from the neck to the lower back. The leg and bottom "massage" just seem be the seat and leg rests inflating and deflating. I hope this helps.
