iRest Model Comparison: Brillactiq (A665) vs. Grandease (A550)
In this article, we will compare two models from the iRest brand – Brillactiq (A665) and Grandease (A550). Both models use innovative technologies to offer users exceptional comfort and relaxation. They can become a valuable and permanent part of your interior, in line with the brand’s mission. In this article, you will discover the characteristics of both models and learn more about their unique features.
Massage system and basic functions
The basis of a massage in a massage chair is formed by the massage rollers, which work in a 4D system in both models – in three planes and with variable speed for different techniques. The iRest Grandease (A550) is the first model in the line with a 4D mechanism. Both the iRest Brillactiq (A665) and the iRest Grandease (A550) offer a precise and deeply relaxing massage. The stretching effect is enhanced by the split iOpen rail, which allows the chair to be laid completely in a flat position (Flat). The massage covers the area from the neck to the thighs, with an SL-shape length of 135 cm in the Brillactiq (A665) and 130 cm in the Grandease (A550). The SL-shape adapts to the natural shape of the spine for an even more precise massage. Both chairs feature the Zero Gravity function, but the Grandease (A550) has three positions, while the Brillactiq (A665) has two.
The user can choose from a wide range of automatic programs: the Brillactiq (A665) offers 20 programs and the Grandease (A550) 18. Both models include programs aimed at pain relief in specific body parts or the entire body, as well as intensive and less intensive massages with different effects. In addition, specific massage techniques can be selected – both models have 11. The Brillactiq (A665) also has three memory locations for personalized massage programs. The intensity, speed and width of the massage rollers can be adjusted in five settings in both models.
Air cushion massage
Air cushion massage is one of the most relaxing features of massage chairs. The iRest Brillactiq (A665) and iRest Grandease (A550) have air cushions in the areas of the hands, forearms, arms, calves and feet. There is a slight difference in number: the Grandease (A550) has 34 air cushions and the Brillactiq (A665) has 40. In both models, the intensity of the air cushion massage can be adjusted in five levels.
Leg massage
The leg massage in both models is performed with air cushions that work in a pulsating and pressing mode. The iRest Brillactiq (A665) also has a mechanical calf massage, which together with the air cushions helps to quickly relieve muscle tension. Both chairs offer a relaxing roller massage for the feet, which stimulates blood circulation and relaxes tired feet. The Brillactiq (A665) has three speed settings for the foot rollers, while the Grandease (A550) has five. Another difference is the shape of the foot massage unit: the Brillactiq (A665) has a closed foot massage unit, while the Grandease (A550) has an open design – an important detail for people with larger feet.
Both models are equipped with a heating function, which helps with muscle relaxation and makes the massage more pleasant. The heat is provided by graphene mats in the back and chest area (in the heated collar).
Unique features of the iRest Brillactiq (A665)
Despite many similarities, the iRest Brillactiq (A665) has two exclusive features that the iRest Grandease (A550) does not have:
• Health Detection System – measures heart rate, oxygen saturation and microcirculation. Based on these measurements, the chair automatically selects a massage program that is tailored to the user's health status.
• Magnetotherapy – targeted at the back area, helps relieve pain and promotes cell repair.
Control options and additional functions
The way the chairs are operated also differs. The Brillactiq (A665) has an intuitive and clear touchscreen, which makes it easy to adjust all settings and programs. The iRest Grandease (A550) is equipped with a traditional remote control with display for user-friendly operation. Both models support voice control in English and have convenient control panels on the side. The functionality of these panels differs: the panel of the Grandease (A550) allows you to turn the chair on and off and activate voice control, while the panel of the Brillactiq (A665) offers additional functions, such as adjusting the chair position and the intensity of the 4D massage.
Both chairs are equipped with useful extras to enhance the user experience:
• Zero Wall – the chair automatically slides away from the wall when leaning back, taking up less space.
• Bluetooth speakers – for playing your favorite music during the massage.
• USB chargers – Both models offer a USB charger, with the Brillactiq (A665) also supporting wireless charging.
