And that’s exactly what Infinity have done with the Riage CS massage chair! A simple design that’s highly effective, incredibly portable, and best of all reasonably priced!
If you think I’m over-hyping this thing, check out the video below and then decide for yourself.
Impressive isn’t it? My 2 favourite things about this chair are:
Off topic but last week I reviewed the BestMassage EC 06C massage chair which was around the same price as this chair. Even though the BestMassage is probably better from a “features” standpoint, the Riage CS would be what I pick from the two hands down! It’s a far more superior build, and you can rest easy knowing workmanship and quality have all been well taken care of!
Alright enough chit chat, let’s look at 5 key things that make the Riage CS such a beast of a chair!
A quick glance at the Riage CS and you’ll immediately notice that this thing is not your typical massage chair. It’s not bulky, it’s not large, and one might also think “how is that thing going to fix my back aches?”. Looks can be deceiving friends!
If that wasn’t enough, Infinity have added a couple more features to really enhance the portability, space saving aspects.
All of these things combined put the Riage CS in a special class of massage chairs: a class I like to call ultra-compact. If you’re constrained for space, and if that’s been the reason for you not investing in a massage chair, here’s something you ought to seriously consider!
If i’m honest, this is the one feature that had me floored. Looking at the chair, it’s hard to see how the design would be able to offer anything more than a conventional S-Track. Somehow Infinity have fitted this thing with an extended L-Track!
S-Track can only traverse to the lower back and that’s where it stops, so in essence you get a lot more massage coverage with an L-Track.
Okay we’ve touched on L-Track, let’s quickly look at quad rollers for a sec. Quad rollers AKA 4 node rollers are the most common roller type you can find on pretty much every massage chair. If you’ve never seen quad rollers before, here’s what they look like!
Nothing special with the quad rollers, it’s just something I wanted to mention as I realise not all of you are familiar with massage chair lingo.
I appreciate Infinity carrying the simplicity mindset throughout the Riage CS design. It really does live by the “less is more” concept!
What are each of these techniques anyways?
How does this compare to other massage chairs? Most chairs can perform anywhere from 3-7 massage techniques, so the Riage CS is definitely on the lower side. However, i’d rather have a chair that does a few techniques right than a whole bunch of techniques that don’t feel that great.
Note: The Riage CS has a total of 4 auto programs to select from. In addition to this, you can also choose to operate the chair in manual mode.
An issue with almost all massage chairs (at least all of the ones I have reviewed!) is that they’re not versatile. They’re awesome massage chairs don’t get me wrong, but they’re not necessarily usable for just sitting on to watch TV for example.
Needless to say this isn’t any issue with the Riage CS as it does not have any airbags! Of course this is also a shortcoming because airbags do provide an extra element of massage which is different from the rollers.
Because of this, it makes for a fantastic living room chair, and an even more fantastic gaming chair!
You have 2 options: black and brown. Before you decide on what color to get, think about placement a little. If you’ll be pairing the chair with the rest of your furniture, it might be wise to consider a matching color. For example, if you have black sofas, get the Riage CS in black. My 2 cents for what it’s worth!
Nope, negative, nada! Zero assembly required. That’s another benefit of going with a compact option, you don’t need to mess around trying to connect the foot ottoman or even the compressor tubing! Simply remove the unit from the box and plug and play.
For a small chair, user flexibility on the Riage CS is actually quite impressive. It is able to comfortably accommodate a maximum height of up to 6’4 ft. In terms of weight, it can bear a maximum load of up to 264 lbs. Again, very impressive for a unit as small as this one!
You bet it can! Another awesome feature I did not talk about earlier is something called targeted massage. It is a way to manually control the chair’s rollers to massage those trouble spots/areas on the back. The target feature can be activated directly from the remote control.
The 4 auto modes are:
All of these auto modes can be toggled/selected from the remote control.
Moment of truth! Riage CS: buy or pass?
The Riage CS is a phenomenal buy for 2 types of people specifically:
For everything it offers and also considering its more than reasonable price tag, the Riage CS gets 2 thumbs up from me!
