The AI-driven massage chair at Relax The Back was incredible -- it scanned my body, found every tight spot, and hit them perfectly. Annie and Julian were extremely helpful, and the store is professional, friendly, and well-organized. I've been back twice and plan to return again and I plan on purchasing one of these in the near future. Highly recommend for anyone wanting more than a typical massage to go and check Relax The Back out!!! - KingKai read more

Annie made the experience of buying a recliner at their store a great one. She even hopped into the back of our pickup truck to sweep the dirt away. read more

The service seemed great at the time, but there were two problems with the extremely expensive desk chair I bought due to back back pain. First, I repeatedly said I needed lowere back support, something they seemed to be unable to provide as I needed. After all those thousands of dollars on the chair, I had to eventually just buy a cheap lower back eupport from Amazon that fits fine. So the chair did not provide the ergonomic lower back support I needed. which was my main reason I went to such an expensive store. Second, I said I had cats and that the fabric was too similar to a scratching post and would scratch it to death. They completely lied and claimed the fabric was definitely the most cat proof they had. It wasn't at all, just as I thought. So I've had to tie it all around with sheets to protect the fabric so that the chair looks ridiculous. I will have to hire a seamstress to create truly cat-proof fabric all over the chair. I initially rated the service as fantastic but only later discovered they lied. The chair provided zero low back support and the fabric was the opposite of cat-proof. So while I considered the service fantastic at the time, they totally scammed me by selling me a chair that did NOT relax my back with sufficient support and lied about the cat-proof fabric. read more

Wonderful experience working with Kat on finding the perfect chair for my long days seated as a therapist. Grateful for her kindness, patience, empathy, and immense knowledge. I highly recommend visiting this store and taking the time to try out chairs vs. taking a chance on one online (I would've def made the wrong move in my case, as I was leaning toward one that def wasn't a good fit once I could try it in-store). While the one I purchased was a major investment, I know it'll help my body and career for many years to come (and the 0% interest financing helps a lot). Thanks again Kat and Relax the Back! read more

Great stuff. Just about everything is overpriced. Guaranteed you can find the same items somewhere else cheaper.

I cannot say enough about the Relax the Back team in Newton. Cat and Lisa are exceptional and spend so much time with me that I feel like family. I continue to come in and consult with them on my medical issues. They are very technical in their suggestions and explain why some products are the best for my conditions vs. others. Bottom line is that I continuously return for advice and refer everyone I know. They never do a hard sell. They consult based on client conditions/circumstances. They don't treat you like a consumer. They listen and ask questions. I agree with the other references that the quality of both experience and product out weigh any expense. Do not miss the opportunity of working with the Newton team. They are exceptional. Rachel read more

Jullian Coleman, Regional Retail Manager at Relax the Back (no surprise there!), is the ultimate best at customer service and product knowledge. I am a return customer at the Burlington store, and once again had the great luck to work with Jullian. He makes life just a little easier during this terrible time, and for that I am very grateful. Thanks so much, Jullian! read more

I am writing to update my previous review. Though there was miscommunication initially between the store and the manufacturer, Chris the manager of the RTB store provided us excellent service. He made 3 trips to to our home (30 min drive away) first to give us a replacement chair, then to pick up chair parts that were mailed me to me instead of the RTB store that was fixing our chair and finally to deliver our repaired chair. He was also in touch with us via phone and the scheduling worked well - he showed up when he said he would. We would return to this store again. Thank you Chris for providing us such excellent service. read more

I'm not sure how this place stays in business. Here's why... I've been having trouble with a so-called stressless recliner. Apparently spending $2k will get you soft pine and low density foam that doesn't last the 2 years, let alone the worthless 10 year warranty. To help my poor suffering legs and back, and so I don't have to binge watch Netflix while standing, I decided to try a few zero gravity chairs at Relax the Back. We went in on a Saturday afternoon and was helped by Nancy. She was awesome and patient and let me try out a variety of chairs, from Human Touch, Positive Posture, and Andrew LeBlanc. I liked the $4k Andrew LeBlanc best but the $3k Positive Posture seemed like the better deal. Not wanting to make another mistake, I decided to "sleep on it", which is code these days for doing further research on the internet. Nancy gave me her business card and told me to come back in a few days, when everything would be 15% off. :) After a lot of research, phone calls, and e-mails, it was obvious that the Andrew LeBlanc was the the way to go. The Positive Posture was an import using marginally acceptable material whereas the Andrew LeBlanc used higher quality material while managing to be built here in the USA (actually about 40 minutes away in Georgetown, MA). I drove back to the store to try the LeBlanc one more time and put an order in. For whatever reason, the store's a/c was off. Not a big deal unless it's 91 degrees outside and the front of the store is nothing but south/southwest facing windows without shades. The place was an oven. I sat in the LeBlanc chair with the intention of trying it out again, to make sure I was making the right decision. But it was just too hot. The sole employee in the store obviously didn't have a problem with the heat. Nor did he have a problem completely ignoring me. In fact, the chair got jammed and wouldn't come back down. I ended up figuring out how to crawl out, no help from him. He only came over to put the chair back into position and still ignored me. So I left. There was no way I was paying this guy $4k for a chair. The manager has contacted me to apologize and make things right, but I've already purchased elsewhere. I will be going back the next time I'm in the market for a chair or recliner. read more

Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten. The chair I bought 12 years ago had damage: all my fault. Relax the Back repaired it at no charge and it is as good as new! First class products and unequalled service. read more

After back surgery, I purchased a Zero Gravity power recliner and it saved my life. I lived in that chair for 3 months. I could not sit anywhere else. I could not move around for most of that time. But the chair afforded me a comfortable recovery period. It was worth every penny. If you have a back injury, spend the extra money on the power option. The ease of use is fantastic. The quality of construction by Andrew LeBlanc Company in Georgetown, MA is beyond belief. After 3 years of everyday, and I mean EVERYDAY use, the chair looks and works like new. I have had the need for a minor service matter. When I called Andrew LeBlanc, Andrew took my call and personally coordinated the prompt resolution of my minor problem. You just don't see this kind of customer service anywhere these days. I could not be happier with the quality of the chair and service from both Relax the Back and Andrew LeBlanc. read more

Knowledgeable, friendly and patient employees helped us find the 'perfect' zero gravity recliner. A good selection of chairs that covered all our internet searches. Relax the Back is probably the only store in this state that met our search needs. We were not comfortable purchasing a $3,000 recliner without trying it out first! read more

I've been in here twice, and both times roundly ignored by the staff. Not sure what it was -- the fact that I wasn't in my 50s, male, or in a suit? The second time, I took my husband along; we were both ignored. We waited until the store completely emptied of people, still had to flag down the man working there to get some help, and as soon as someone else entered, he walked off to help them while I was in the middle of asking a question, without a single word, and didn't come back to us after he was done answering that patron's question. Guess I won't be making any major purchases there, at least not at that location, and probably not at any RTB store. read more

If you are prone to back problems, do yourself a favor and make a trip to this store. Their selection ranges from inexpensive lumbar support items to high-end ergonomic office furniture. All of their products are high quality and a great investment for your overall health. The staff is also extremely friendly and welcoming, so don't be afraid to kick back in one of the fancy massage chairs and stay for a while. read more

My son was in terrible back pain and medicine was not helping. I did some research online and found information about infrared heating pads being very helpful for back pain. With this covid pandemic delaying all deliveries, I needed a place I could go pick up same day. Nancy at Relax The Back in Burlington answered my chat questions and offered to meet me at her store to pick up a heating pad that same day. She was there at the agreed time even though she had to drive quite a ways. The pad was a miracle and my son's back improved within a couple of days. I highly recommend this store and thank you Nancy for your help! read more

Bought an overpriced chair that was a piece of crap. Screws came loose, and we saw from the scratches that we were not the first owner of this chair. Tried to return it, subjected to abuse and refusal. The company has a 30 day return policy, but the franchisees don't have to abide by that. Stay away - very far away read more

If you have a bad back this is the store for you! Relax the Back has a plethora of beds, chairs, pillows, and gadgets to assist in relieving/preventing back pain. A little on the pricey side but well worth it. Staff is friendly and helpful. read more

Purchased 2 recliners a few months ago. Had a minor issue, and Nancy (store manager in Burlington) could not have been nicer, as well as professional and accomodating. She keptin touch until the issue was resolved. There was no hassle, she followed through on her word, and the issue was resolved in a matter of days. Outstanding customer service.

Outstanding customer service before and after the sale. Nancy explained the chairs in detail and was patient with extensive testing, and then when it had a problem after delivery, made every effort to ensure it was resolved properly. read more

A friend recommend my husband try a zero gravity chair at Relax a Back store in Burlington MA. After four months he finally went into the store. Nancy the Manger was welcoming and very informative. She had him in a Human Touch Chair for one hour and he was sold. I can not thank Nancy enough. She is a professional when it comes to serving her customers needs. No one has to suffer with everyday back pain go to Relax the Back. read more

Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. I assisted my Aunt in buying a lift chair at the Burlington store. I must say we received exemplary service from Hassan, Nancy, and Steve. They all went to great lengths to make sure my Aunt's needs were met- of which there were many. They stand behind their merchandise- and always made us welcome. Kudos to them! read more

Have shopped at this store Relax The Back twice in the past two months. Have isssues with my legs and back and a therapist recommended this store to me. On my first visit bought a seat for car and a back wedge......both of which I love. After 30days could have returned both items for cash or replacements if I was not satisfied providing items were in good condition. Today I purchased a self inflatable back wedge for travel. Also, purchased another seat cushion, a pillow which is resistant to mites and cool, and a foot stool that rocks to be used while sitting. Aside from the excellent quality of the items sold here am very satisfied with the excellent service. Brian is very knowledgeable and professional. Would highly recommend this store to anyone. read more

I gotta say, the lady who gave this store an one star rating is absolutely crazy. I've been to many RTB stores and this one is by far the best I've encountered. If you have back problems and aren't sure where to go next to find relief, you need to go to this store, find Jeremy (the most knowledgeable employee there) and tell him what is wrong. He had many suggestions for me and I can honestly say it made a huge difference. read more

Nancy's belief in the product line translates into her being a wonderful advocate for her customers. She sincerely wanted us to be pleased and went above and beyond to ensure we had a good experience. read more

I've been looking for a massage chair and found this great store. The staff was very friendly and patient. My husband and I tried all the chairs we were interested in, and went back the second day to try them again. We bought the chair we liked the best, and now can't wait for the chair to be delivered. The owner of the store is very nice and helpful. It was a pleasant experience shopping at this store. read more
