Our Story
Restin is founded on a simple belief. It’s awkward as heck to get a massage from someone in the middle of a convention center…while straddling a fold-out chair…with your face wedged in a…face holder? The fact that these massage therapy attractions were so common and popular at conferences baffled us. We discovered that event attendees were so desperate for relief from long days walking the trade show floor—and longer nights partying—that they were willing to put up with the awkwardness.
Then we found a better way: robotic massage chairs. No more being poked and prodded by a stranger while forcing awkward small-talk. The robotic massage chair puts the user in control of their own session. Even better, users can sit like a normal human being in a robotic massage chair. No more straddling that lovechild of a folding chair and chiropractors table.
This small but important difference proved extremely valuable to event marketers. Companies that used massage therapists as an attraction in their past exhibit spaces were frustrated. Attendees stopped by for a massage, but how do you engage people who are facedown getting treatment from a massage therapist? Robotic massage chairs provide the perfect compromise. You will attract tired attendees while also facilitating the perfect environment for exhibit staff to engage and interact.
Hundreds of event marketers, trade show managers, and exhibit designers agree with us and have rented robotic massage chairs to increase engagement at their events. Our customers are diverse and come from various industries, but they are all talented, forward-thinking marketers. It is a privilege to support businesses that are committed to elevating the attendee experience in their branded environments at trade shows, conferences, and events around the country. In five years we have grown to be the largest provider of rental massage chairs in the United States, serving top brands like Intel, Sprint, IBM, and Wells Fargo in every major event market.

Restin in the Press
“It can be hard to capture the attention of show-floor-weary attendees, unless you’re offering free massages in your booth, that is. You’ll create a captive audience when you treat booth visitors to a few minutes in the Restin robotic massage chair with rolling, kneading, and compression movements that were specifically designed for trade show and event environments.”
“The robotic massage chairs they rent are better than the live masseuses currently offered at trade shows or corporate events, and robotic massage chairs provide a more permanent fix to occupational stress while only requiring minimal floor space and an outlet to plug into. Restin was able to dominate a market that was wide open for disruption, and did so in the span of a few months.”
“[Restin] is dominating a niche market as the only national provider of robotic massage chairs for rent. Launched in 2010, its customers include event marketers like IBM, Sprint, Wells Fargo, Google, Jones Lang Lasalle, and Hyundai who use the massage chairs at events to increase dwell time in their branded environments and support relationship-based sales strategies.”
