Recovery is an essential part of any wellness routine.

Combining radiant warmth with ergonomic design, our chairs and lounges offer a uniquely soothing experience that complements a variety of recovery methods. Let's explore why heated chairs are the ideal enhancement to your wellness ritual and compare them to other ways to warm up, like hot tubs and saunas.
The Science of Heat Therapy
Heat therapy has been used for centuries to relieve tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. When you sit in a heated chair, the gentle warmth dilates blood vessels, enhancing oxygen and nutrient flow to tired muscles. This increased circulation aids in reducing stiffness, alleviating aches, and speeding up recovery. Beyond the physical benefits, radiant heat calms the nervous system, helping to reduce stress and improve overall well-being.

Cold Plunge Meets Heated Chair: A Recovery Ritual Like No Other
Now, imagine pairing this soothing warmth with other recovery practices, like a cold plunge. The transition from cold to heat offers a dynamic recovery duo, maximizing the benefits of both therapies.
Cold plunges, with water temperatures typically ranging between 50°F and 59°F, are a powerful tool for reducing inflammation and boosting recovery. By constricting blood vessels, cold exposure helps flush out metabolic waste and toxins, reducing muscle soreness and reducing recovery times. While invigorating, the immediate post-plunge chill can be a challenge to endure—and that’s where a heated seat comes in.
After stepping out of the cold, settling into the warmth of a Galanter & Jones heated chair provides the perfect counterbalance. The radiant heat gradually warms your body, easing tight muscles and encouraging relaxation. This transition from invigorating cold to enveloping warmth is more than a physical shift; it’s a sensory journey that leaves you feeling balanced, rejuvenated, and ready for whatever comes next.
Heated Chairs vs. Hot Tubs and Saunas
When it comes to warming up, hot tubs and saunas might be the first solutions that come to mind. While effective, they have limitations. Hot tubs, for instance, require significant maintenance and water use, while saunas demand dedicated space and can be challenging to install in many homes. Both options also typically involve more prolonged exposure to intense—even stifling—heat, which may not suit everyone’s preferences or needs.
In contrast, heated furniture offers a more accessible, efficient, and sustainable solution. With Galanter & Jones heated chairs, you can enjoy:
- Quick Setup: Plug the chair into a standard outlet, and it heats from a cozy 80°F to 120°F in approximately 5–10 minutes. Adjustable knobs allow you to customize the temperature to your liking.
- Versatility: These chairs are designed for both indoor and outdoor use, making them a seamless addition to your living room, outdoor, or home gym space.
- Low Maintenance: Unlike hot tubs or saunas, heated chairs require minimal upkeep—no water, no steam, just durable, radiant warmth.
- Ergonomic Comfort: Made of smooth, cast stone and featuring organic shapes, Galanter & Jones chairs are as beautiful as they are supportive, providing unparalleled comfort that fits your body’s natural contours.
- Sustainability: Completely electric, these chairs consume only small amounts of energy during use, unlike hot tubs, which require constant heating and significant water resources.
