The unique massage features of Inada’s Yu Me rocking chair model push it to the forefront of the marketplace for many users. It retails at around $5500, putting it in the middle of the upper range of the massage chair industry. With the multiple massage elements, LED light therapy option and the fact that the YuMe is a rocking chair as well as offering a zero-gravity position, the price just may be warranted for consumers who are looking for a unique massage experience.
Inada Yu Me Massage Chair Specifications
The Inada YuMe rocking massage chair is 48 inches long, 43 inches tall and 29 inches wide. It weighs approximately 180 pounds. This makes it slightly easier to get into the house and move into the desired position than other massage chair types that may weigh 250 pounds or more.
This Yu Me massage chair comes in smooth leather with black fabric and brushed metal trim and base. The available colors include pure black, ivory white, warm brown and vibrant red. It lacks the plush bulk of many other massage chairs so it can look more attractive in a living room or office décor scheme. Inada offers a three-year warranty for residential customers.
Health and Wellness Benefits of Inada Yu Me Massage Chair
A fully customized experience begins with a high-tech body scan and automatic adjustments of the included massage programs. The Inada YuMe massage chair also features special thera-elliptical kneading to improve circulation and block cramps in the legs and feet.
The therapeutic neck stretch pillow not only soothes away stress but also help prevent headaches by aligning your cervical vertebrae correctly. The spine stretch feature continues all the way down to your tailbone with alignment capabilities. The YuMe chair also offers true shiatsu massage targeting. The rotary rocking mechanism keeps the Yu Me chair rocking soothingly while the colored LED lights create a relaxing ambience in a darker room.

Finally
Both zero gravity massage boast of excellent features & 5 star consumer ratings, making either chair a wonderful investment in luxury self-care. While the Fujita SMK92 is slightly more affordable, and has 9 auto massage courses, 25 manual massage techniques, 6 massage methods, user memory and heat therapy, I believe the Inada’s 3 year warranty, TEK, RRT, color kinetic LED’s, rocking feature, proprietary pillow & attractive design tip the scales in Inada’s favor.
