This $30,000 Lamborghini Massage Chair Changed My Life

So this is what being rich feels like.

LAS VEGAS — I was wandering the show floor at CES, minding my own business, when a gleaming hunk of red-and-black steel caught my eye. It started moving to the beat of a bass-heavy rock song and the sound of a roadster's revving engine. But this was no race car: It was a massage chair inspired by a Lamborghini Aventador. I was slightly disappointed that the chair didn't reshape itself into an actual automobile, given that it looks like a Transformer.

And that's when I gave up my skepticism and fully embraced the chair. If I had Lamborghini levels of cash, I would buy this.

BodyFriend's Lamborghini-inspired chair is $30,000, which is a laughable amount of money for those of us who don't own actual Lamborghinis. But after experiencing not one but two full-body massages (hey, this was research for work), I found myself wondering how long it would take to pay off a $30,000 loan. Answer: Too long.

Aside from its sleek, sporty look, BodyFriend's Lamborghini Massage Chair feels like sitting in the lap of luxury. A remote control allows you to customize the length and intensity of the massage, and ECG sensors on the back of the remote measure your heart rate to customize a healing massage designed to reduce stress. It's magical.

You can buy the BodyFriend Lamborghini Massage Chair now, or take it for a spin in BodyFriend's Los Angeles headquarters. Or, if you're me, you'll take up residence there for the rest of CES.
