Massaging Ottomans
Massaging ottomans are a great way to relax those tired, aching feet while also adding some style to your living room. Many times the massaging ottomans are so well designed that people buy them for their modern look and as pieces of furniture for their room, while the massage feature is just an added bonus.
The more stylish of the massaging ottomans don’t look like pieces of massage equipment at all. They are cube shaped and have the appearance of regular furniture. The outside of the ottoman is covered in a stylish, soft material in a neutral color that will fit in with the decor of almost any room - they’re not some big ugly piece of equipment that you have to hide when not using. Some of the ottomans are also available in a couple of colors so you can choose one that matches your living room. All of the massaging mechanisms are hidden within the ottoman and are not visible from the outside.
The design is lightweight and versatile, but they are usually not recommended as a seating device. Since they are not designed to withhold large amounts of weight, sitting or standing on the device can damage the product. They are simply made for you to put your feet up, and nothing else – but that’s the main purpose of an ottoman anyways.
The massage feature of the ottoman works by a vibrator that is underneath the top surface of the ottoman. The vibrator is covered with a thick, comfortable layer of padding and fabric to provide ultimate comfort for your feet. The vibrating massage can be adjusted to variable speeds ranging from an intense, pain relieving massage to a slow, soothing massage. They work great as a massager or an ottoman. As a side note however, the ottomans with the prettier designs have a less intense, therapeutic massage system. They typically only include a couple of vibrating motors.
More advanced massaging ottomans look more like your typical massage product - they’re not meant to be pretty. Their job is to provide a great massage and relieve your aching feet and lower leg muscles. The ottoman is designed to have cradles for your feet and calves to provide an all around massage. When you’re not using the massage feature, there is a cover to place over the ottoman which can then be used as a foot rest.
The massage has two different speeds - low and high intensity - and has different massage styles including pulse, knead, and vibrate modes. The bottom of the ottoman has toe-touch controls so you do not need to interrupt the massage to adjust the settings. By targeting pressure points, the massager relieves aches and pains, fatigue, increases circulation and rejuvenates your entire body.
