panasonic logo If you’re a fan of massage chairs (or as Panasonic calls them, Massage Loungers), then you’ll be happy to hear that Panasonic has introduced a new chair called the Swede-Atsu Urban EP1285. Coming out later this year, the Urban EP1285 features the largest massage area of any chair in its class – measuring in at 267 square inches. Yes.. you’ll get yourself a good massage with this chair!

Features of the Swede-Atsu Urban EP1285 include:

  • Incorporates elements from Panasonic’s elite line of Real Pro Ultra loungers
  • 12 airbag circulation system ottoman
  • Refined back massage heads which better replicate the touch of an actual massage therapist’s hands (woo!!)
  • Uses gentle massage technique based on motion of Swedish massage along with improved rollers which replicate the feel of a thumb
  • New “Chiropractic” technique to relieve spine stiffness and increase flexibility by vertically massaging inter-vertebral joints
  • New “Hawaiian” technique offers soothing relaxation similar to a therapist’s open palms
  • Easy to use remote

Sorry – no pictures of this chair at the moment (although I suppose if you’ve seen one massage chair, you’ve seen them all right?). The Swede-Atsu Urban EP1285 will be coming out in the fall of this year for an MSRP of $2499.95. Man..I gotta save some money for a chair like this!

If I had some extra cash lying around, one of the first things I’d consider getting is a nice comfortable massage chair. I’ve always loved them and trust me.. my back loves it even more! To that end, Panasonic has launched a new line of “luxury-class” chairs called the Real Pro Ultra line. The Real Pro Ultra line features the largest massage area currently available on the market as well as several new massage techniques including the “Junetsu” ultra-knead technology. Panasonic has also made The Sharper Image the exclusive dealer for the top of the line Real Pro Ultra massage chair – the EP30006.

Here are some of the more interesting facts about the Panasonic Real Pro Ultra line:

  • Combines 200 square inches of back massage with 460 inches of air massage throughout the chair for a virtual total body massage
  • New “Junetsu” technology provides an ultra-fine massage to relieve muscle tension via high speed circular massage motions. This mimics the movement of a massage therapists thumb and soothes away stiffness while encouraging blood flow.
  • Features Shiatsu, Swedish, Grasping, Kneading, Arm Stretch, and Foot reflexology massage techniques
  • Allows for 24 individual programs to be stored for up to four different people
  • Available in either chocolate brown or black ultra soft synthetic leather
  • Includes access to Panasonic’s Premium Massage Chair service via a phone call

The new Panasonic Ultra EP30006 will be available at the Sharper Image for $4799. The rest of the Real Pro Ultra includes:
