A full-size massage chair (안마의자) can cost several million won to buy. Which is exactly why **renting** is so popular in Korea. You get the daily comfort of a premium chair for a small monthly fee, with delivery and setup handled for you. Here's how massage chair rental works for foreign residents.

## Why rent a massage chair instead of buying

- **Avoid a huge one-time cost**: premium chairs are expensive to buy outright; rental spreads it into an affordable monthly fee.
- **Try premium models**: enjoy a high-end chair without committing the full purchase price.
- **Flexible for your stay**: ideal if you may move or leave Korea (a penalty may apply for the remaining contract term).
- **Delivery & installation included**: these chairs are heavy; the provider handles it.

## Space and placement

Massage chairs are large and often need **recline clearance** behind them. Measure your living room and doorway before delivery. Some models are more compact or wall-hugging if space is tight. Compare specs when choosing.

## How the monthly price works

The advertised monthly fee usually assumes a **contract length (약정)**, and a **partner-card discount** can lower it when the card's spending condition is met. Because these are premium items, confirm the plan and final terms during consultation before committing.
