The final decision should be based on personal needs and preferences. Overall, all three massage chairs offer excellent massage capabilities that can provide a comfortable and relaxing experience. Choosing the right one depends on personal preference, budget, available space, and massage needs.
Infinity IT-8500 Plus Massage Chair Notable Benefits & Features
Quad Style Roller
Featuring a quad massage roller that has a 30″ track length, the Infinity IT-8500 Plus massage chair can massage your lower lumbar area and neck. Suitable for people of 5’1″ to 6’4″ in height, and with three width adjustments, it fits most body types. A Quad Style roller has four massage heads that mimic human hands.
With six adjustable speeds, the roller moves up and down your back according to the S shape curve of your spine.

Body Scan Technology
An extensive body scan feature comes standard with the Infinity IT-8500 Plus. By scanning your body with this technology, you can pinpoint the shape of your spine and where your curves are located. This type of technology helps massage chairs become more versatile and capable of massaging a wide range of body types and sizes.

Automatic Programs
You can choose from seven automatic programs with the Infinity IT-8500 plus massage chair: Sports Refresh, Extension, Rest & Sleep, Working Relief, Neck & Shoulder, Waist & Spine, and Demo.

Waist & Spine Program
Waist & Spine’s spinal correction feature uses powerful stretching techniques to extend and decompress your spine, reducing back pain. A milder option for back pain relief is waist twisting, which is included as an alternative on the IT-8500 Plus.

Decompression Stretch
Incorporating strong kneading and stretching movements, the Extension program decompresses the entire body.
S-Track
From your neck to your lumbar region, Infinity’s S-track design suits the natural shape of your spine to hit all your areas of tension.
Lumbar Heat
As your body prepares for the massage, the heating modules at the back of the chair provide you with a soothing sensation and loosen your muscles.
Infinity IT-8500 Plus Modifications and Differences
Infinity IT-8500 X3 Massage Chair

- Near Flat Reclining S-Track: From the neck to the lower back, the S-track rollers follow the spine’s curve, allowing you to get a full-body stretch – your hips are held in place and your legs are pulled down.
- Spinal Correction and Decompression Stretch: As you recline the massage chair, its airbags grip your shoulders and legs to soothe and relieve your spine during this full-body stretch. To relieve back pain, the spinal correction feature uses powerful stretching techniques to extend your spine and decompress it.
- Lumbar Heat: You will be able to relax your muscles and loosen your muscles before receiving a massage by using the heating modules in the lower back of the chair.
- True Inversion: As you recline the chair below a horizontal level, your head will be inverted and your heels will be up. This technique relieves pressure on your spinal column by putting your head down and heels up.
- Waist Twist Therapy: Tight muscles are stretched with a gentle twist of the hips in a compression massage.
- Apple® & Android™ App Functionality: Its app-based functionality allows you to control the chair from your Apple or Android device.
- Truefit™ Body Scanning: Using special technology within the chair’s hardware and software, the chair is able to measure the user’s size and shape, allowing for individualized massages.
- 360° 4-Node Plus Massage: With its Enhanced 4-Node Plus Back Massage Mechanism, you will experience five comprehensive massage techniques over the length of your spine: kneading, tapping, kneading+tapping, shiatsu, and knocking.
Infinity IT-8500 Massage Chair

- S-Track Design & Quad Rollers: There are some lower-end models of Infinity chairs that utilize tri-rollers rather than quads. These are marginally inferior and disadvantage Infinity’s less expensive chairs. There is a solution to that problem with the 8500 series, which combines S-Track with quad rollers, both of which are industry standard. This is a great start and gives the model a strong foundation.
- 3D Body Scan: Two-pronged adjustment is available for the roller positions and the massage area width on the Infinity IT 8500 zero gravity massage chair. With the automated 3D body scan technology, your pressure points are located and adjusted automatically. As a backup, the 8500 comes with a remote control that lets you fine-tune the adjustments so that you’re always getting a world-class massage.
- Zero-Gravity Seating: It’s always great to see zero-gravity seating implemented in a product like the IT 8500. The IT 8500 features two different positions that are all accessible with a single touch. Due to the positive impact it has on the overall massage experience, this feature is so popular. Your body’s weight is pressed down against the rollers as you recline to a position where your knees are elevated slightly above your heart. This results in a deeper, more penetrating massage.
- Amazing Number of Options: Normally, Infinity excels at this aspect, but the base model didn’t quite live up to expectations (corrected in the X3).
- Spot (“Part”) Massage Function: Infinity has implemented this feature quite well. In fact, users were impressed with how well it was implemented. There are two types of spot massage. Press the button once the rollers hit a sore spot, and they will remain within a six-inch radius of that spot until you release the button. A floating partial massage is also offered by the IT 8500 massage chair. Instead of selecting specific regions, as this feature is usually implemented, you can enter a partial mode while a massage program is running.
Infinity IT-8500 Plus Warranty
- 5-Year Residential Limited Warranty.
- 5 Year structural framework warranty.
- 3-Year No-cost replacement on covered parts.
- 1-Year Complete Care/No-cost parts & labor (in-home, if necessary).
- Unlimited USA-based customer & technical support.
What Do Users Say About Infinity IT-8500 Plus Massage Chair?
“There were a couple chairs at Brookstone I tried and I wasn’t very impressed with the deep massage roller. I was recommended this chair because of the deep massage roller. I have neck pains and I really like the program that uses the airbags in the pillow. I also like the stretch program for stretching my back. Thanks for the help, I use my chair all the time.”
“The foot massage and the way the chair squeezes my body makes me very relaxed. I admit I was skeptical of this chair because I saw some bad reviews. My experience has been excellent. I like the strength of the back massage and on days I’m not in the mood for something so strong I lay a small pillow over it. After having my chair for 6 months, I have noticed a lot of my body aches have reduced.”
