Snailax SL-256-UK-VC Shiatsu Back Massage Seat Pad with Heat

Shiatsu: The Snailax SL-256-UK-VC is a corded massage seat pad combining four moving kneading nodes for the back with seat vibration and back heat. Its selectable back zones and adjustable massage intensity suit targeted sessions, while the plug-in design is less convenient to move than a cordless massager.

At a glance

Four moving kneading nodes travel vertically across the back, with full, upper and lower zone selection and spot massage.
An intensity flap and towel layering are described as ways to soften the kneading action.
Seat vibration has three intensity levels for the hips and thighs. The seat has no heat, while heat is described for the back.
Straps are described for attaching the pad to chairs, recliners or sofas.
