iRest: who makes the massage chairs you buy

When buying a massage chair it is worth knowing who made it. iRest is one of the largest manufacturers in the world: three factories, 350,000 m², up to 2,000 chairs a day and its own research laboratory. Here is what stands behind the name.

Production scale

iRest today runs three factories — in Pingyang, Jiaxing and Wenzhou — with a fourth under construction. The total area reaches 350,000 m² and capacity is up to 2,000 chairs a day.

In its home market of China the brand is the undisputed leader, with a wide retail network across major cities. Beyond it, iRest products are sold in more than 100 countries — in Europe, Asia, Australia, South-East Asia and the Middle East.

The research lab

At the centre of this production sits a research laboratory with more than 110 scientists. That is where the solutions that later appear in production models are born: new mechanisms, heating methods, body-scanning algorithms.

The company also runs a machinery plant with over 1,600 staff, so a large share of components is made in-house rather than bought in. Every stage of production is monitored.

Why this matters when buying

A massage chair is a complex mechanism that has to survive tens of thousands of cycles. A manufacturer with its own research centre and component production can:

That is why the newest solutions — dual 4D mechanisms, AI health detection, the split iOpen rail, graphene and jade heating — appear in iRest chairs before they reach the wider market.
