In September 2021, Singapore was found to be the most fatigued country in the world, with one of the least amounts of sleep and longest working hours.
Fatigue and stress can lead to many health problems, such as heart failure, stroke, and high blood pressure. It also doubles the risk of death from all medical conditions, and negatively impacts concentration at work.
We all need to take ourselves offline and relax for a bit, but it can be hard to find the energy to leave the house. When you think about this, it’s no wonder that many people’s favourite hobbies involve sleeping.
In order to relieve your stress and lessen the fatigue on your body and mind, one of the best solutions is to turn to a massage parlour. But not just any massage parlour: one that you can set up in your own home!
The World’s First Hybrid Massage Chair
At Ogawa, our goal is to promote health and wellness in all aspects of life. That’s why we’ve developed the World’s First Hybrid Massage Chair, the Genix: a compact personal sleep pod that ensures perfect rest.
‘Hybrid’ refers to the offspring of two separate entities. In the Genix’s case, this refers to the power and strength of a massage chair with its “Superior Massage Mechanism” combined with the compact size of a personal sofa. We stripped out all the superfluous parts of the chair, and retained only what was absolutely necessary for a sleep pod.
That means several built-in functions, like a zero-gravity mode, which can recline 180° and free your body from all physical pressure, and a cradle m ode, which gives your body a light massage to gently ease the tenseness out of your muscles. These functions are tailor-made with innovative, state of the art technology, tested and proven to maximise comfort and relaxation for all body types.
The Genix has a total of six different massage presets, each fulfilling a different purpose. Whether you’re looking to relieve bodily stress or mental fatigue, the Genix has you covered.
The built-in Bluetooth speakers also add to the ambience; you can drift off into sleep to the sounds of raindrops, or play your favourite tunes while you surf the web.
Space Saving
Now, it is time to mention the other core feature of our hybrid massage chair: the size. Compared to other massage chairs, which take up approximately ~2m of space when fully outstretched, the Genix only requires 1.48m~ of space. This is due to its innovative engineering known as the zero-wall technology, which allows the Genix to recline fully without extending backwards.
Given that the average floor space has been shrinking since the 1980s, every extra inch of room can allow for a much more comfortable experience. With the Genix, you can now set up your very own relaxation corner, perhaps with a small bookshelf and tea table for you to read while you do your massage.
Massage Features
Even though it’s designed for promoting good sleep, the Genix also features several massage elements from several other massage chairs. There are multiple modes that help to promote good blood circulation, flexibility in your joints and muscles, and improved health overall.
This is all thanks to its Superior Hybrid Massage Mechanism, which gives it all the power of a high-end massage chair within a slimmer frame.
If you find yourself tired and in need of sleep all the time, there’s truly no better option than the Genix.
