Massage Seats
Massage seats use air cells or motors inside the backrest and cushion to massage occupants during long drives.
What is Massage Seats?
They usually offer several programmes and intensity levels. They are mostly found in premium and luxury cars. They often come with ventilation, heating and memory functions. Some systems combine massage with active bolsters that support the body in corners.
How it works
A pump inflates and deflates air chambers in sequence to create the massage motion.
Why it matters for your car
A faulty pump or valve can cause noise or uneven operation. Use them as comfort aids; they do not replace breaks on long trips.
