Choosing a massage chair often starts with a few practical questions: will the model provide a pleasant enough back massage, how well will it massage the legs and feet, how much space will it take up at home, and which features will actually be useful every day? iRest Chillin+ (A360) and Massaggio Eccellente 2 PRO are models from a similar price range, both designed for everyday relaxation, but they approach it in slightly different ways.
The first focuses on ease of use, suitability for taller users, and a pleasant massage that can be accompanied by music from Bluetooth speakers. The second offers a more extensive range of settings, lower-body stretching, and additional features for the hands and feet. Let’s see which massage chair is better suited to your needs.
Back massage and automatic programmes
Both models use 2D massage arms that move along a contoured SL-shape track. Its shape allows the massage to follow the natural line of the spine, providing pleasant roller movement from the neck down to the thighs.
The iRest Chillin+ (A360) offers 4 massage techniques and 3 automatic programmes, making it simple and intuitive to use. The massage chair provides a clear, easy-to-understand set of features, so it works well for everyday relaxation after work, travel, or an active day – especially when you do not feel like adjusting lots of settings.
The Massaggio Eccellente 2 PRO has 5 massage techniques and 6 automatic programmes. It also offers 5 massage-arm speed levels, while the Chillin+ (A360) offers 3. As a result, the Massaggio model may be a better fit for people who want a more varied massage and greater control over the settings.
Leg and foot massage
The iRest Chillin+ (A360) offers a roller foot massage with airbags. The rollers massage the soles of the feet, while the airbags cover the feet, calves, hands, and forearms. Their intensity can be adjusted across 3 levels, letting you choose a gentler or more noticeable pressure.
The Massaggio Eccellente 2 PRO does not allow you to adjust the intensity of the airbag massage, but the airbags are placed around the hands, forearms, arms, calves, and feet. This allows the chair to perform lower-body stretching, a feature not found in the iRest Chillin+ (A360). This is an important difference for people who want to enjoy a pleasant feeling of leg relaxation after many hours of sitting or standing.
An additional advantage of the Massaggio Eccellente 2 PRO may be the 3-level speed adjustment for the foot massage rollers. This makes it easier to adapt the pace of the mechanism to your own preferences, especially if foot massage is one of the most important elements of your daily relaxation routine.
Additional features and user comfort
Both the iRest Chillin+ (A360) and the Massaggio Eccellente 2 PRO offer back heating – the first with a graphene heating mat, the second with a carbon one – as well as a Zero Gravity position, with 3 levels in the first model and 2 levels in the second. The Zero Gravity position helps place the body in a more comfortable position and relieve pressure on the spine, while back heating makes the massage more enjoyable and helps ease tense muscles.
In the iRest Chillin+ (A360), an extra convenience is the Bluetooth speakers, which allow you to listen to your favourite music, podcast, or audiobook during your massage session.
The Massaggio Eccellente 2 PRO, on the other hand, stands out with hand and foot magnetotherapy, acupressure pads, and practical holders for the remote control and phone. These features expand the massage chair’s everyday usability and may matter to those looking for a more comprehensive set of extras.
It is also worth adding that both models are available in versions without a foot massager: the iRest Chillin Open and the Massaggio Eccellente 2. This is a particularly useful solution in places such as company relaxation rooms, waiting areas, and wellness zones, as it allows people to use the massage chair without taking off their shoes.
Dimensions and fit
The massage chairs being compared have similar dimensions and work well in a home setting. The difference is minor, so when choosing a model, the features and suitability for the user’s height and weight are more important.
The iRest Chillin+ (A360) is recommended for people up to 200 cm tall and has a suggested maximum load of 150 kg, making it suitable even for very tall users. The Massaggio Eccellente 2 PRO, in turn, is designed for users up to 192 cm tall and has a suggested maximum load of 140 kg.
Which massage chair should I choose?
The iRest Chillin+ (A360) will be a good choice if you want a simple and comfortable model for everyday relaxation. It is a chair that works well when you simply want to sit down, start the massage, and unwind without diving into lots of advanced settings. Thanks to its design, this model can also be a comfortable option for very tall people, even up to 2 meters.
The Massaggio Eccellente 2 PRO will better meet the needs of those who want more control over the massage. This model offers more automatic programmes, wider speed adjustment for the back massage arms and foot massage rollers, and an additional lower-body stretching function. It will therefore be a better choice if you like to choose your massage settings yourself and want greater control over your daily massage chair session.
The best way to make a decision, however, is to compare both models during a test visit to a showroom. Only then can you check which massage feels more pleasant to you, whether the chair position is comfortable, and whether the way the massage rollers work meets your expectations. With support from an advisor, it is easier to notice differences that may look similar in the specification but become noticeable after just a few minutes of massage.
