Editorial Reviews

The Shiatsu massaging cushion helps you enjoy state of the art relaxation....your way. This cushion features a programmable control with 6 different programs and a moving dual massage mechanism. The shiatsu rolling massage and soothing heat travel up and down the back. The 30-second heat up is perfect for penetrating those sore muscles and the soft spot shiatsu targets just the area that aches. The width control adjusts to conform to your body so you can create your own customized massage. This massaging cushion easily fits most chairs and comes with a demonstration feature that shows you how to melt away tension, muscle pain and fatigue.

Homedics' Shiatsu Massage Cushion turns any chair into a Shiatsu massage chair. Never in your life will you experience a more invigorating massage; you'll actually feel as if a massage therapist is hidden inside the massage cushion. A state-of-the-art moving dual massage mechanism travels up and down your back, melting away tension, muscle pain and fatigue. Need to pinpoint that exact ache? With Shiatsu Plus spot massage, you can do just that! And, at the touch of a button, adjust the width of the massage rollers custom for your body. You're going to wish you never had to get up. In fact, it's so good that Consumers Digest has awarded the SBM-300H a Best Buy award.

When you find that ideal spot, you can hold the massage to help work out the even the tightest knots, thanks to the integrated Spot Shiatsu system. An adjustable width setting for Rolling Massage lets you adjust the massage rollers on either side of the spine for a custom-tailored experience. Meanwhile, in-seat massage offers an invigorating vibration massage that aims to increase circulation.

The SBM-300H comes with six programs: full, lower, or upper back in Shiatsu, plus a rolling massage for each of the three modes. The SBM-300H's integrated strapping system attaches easily to most home and office chairs.

powerful massager

Reviewed by S. Peng, 2010-02-24

I have backache and have to use a massager everyday. This one is very powerful and the shiatsu and rolling are all very effective. Highly recommend.

Not exactly there

Reviewed by D. Lupu, 2010-01-26

I had to return this product (and that was easy and without hassle) because the massage is rough. I tried with some added cushion but it's still uncomfortable. I tried in a chair or in a recliner, the same sensation. Not for me. I went with an horizontal kind of massager.

Great for sore backs, very versatile

Reviewed by Natasha Carman, 2009-12-10

I purchased this for my husband for our anniversary. I did lots of shopping around and looking at reviews for several different ones. Some friends of ours actually have a shiatsu chair and I wanted something comparable but cheaper.

My husband loves it. For a mat that sits in a chair it does very good. He even takes it up to bed sometimes and lays on it. The heat is great, it doesn't take any time for the mat to warm up and relax your muscles.

I would recommend this because it gives a great massage for less money then purchasing a chair.

Shiatsu massager

Reviewed by Ldes, 2009-12-07

Although this massager actually does work well, it can only be used in certain chairs. And you have to sit upright. I also need a massager that included the buttock and thigh areas. I returned this massager and ordered one that had 10 motors and could be used in in my recliner, office chair, sofa and car seat. I returned this and Amazon was great about the return, so I naturally bought the 10 motor one from them also.

Essential Item for the Office Worker

Reviewed by Yifan Chen, 2009-12-06

I owned the 300H for approximately one year and believe it is essential to the someone who sits on a chair for a prolonged duration of time. The rollers are effective in relieving minor muscle knots, and combined with 300H's optional heating element the device is effective in improving circulation and maximizing seating comfort. The 300H is not suited for an individual taller than 5'8'', as the rollers barely reach half my back while sitting upright (I am 6' tall).
