The Bodyfriend Familie is for buyers who want a massage chair that reads as a piece of furniture. Bodyfriend lists it as a massage recliner with calf massage and describes it as elegant styling in a compact design. It sells for $4,499.99 and carries a best seller label on the Bodyfriend store. Bodyfriend says it has a 270-person R&D team and claims to be the global market share leader in massage chairs; those are the company's own statements. New customers can get 10% off a first purchase by signing up for the newsletter. The listing we could check does not state the roller mechanism, track or program count, so it is hard to compare spec for spec with the Titan, Osaki or Infinity chairs, which publish more detail for less money. If looks matter as much as the massage, it is worth a visit to a Bodyfriend store before you buy.
