A selection of Relaxor cabin seat massagers by manufacturer Inseat Solutions is on display at the show.
"The massage system is input in the cabin seats with the controls in the armrest or through the IFE system," says Judie Rothenberger, president and CEO of the New Mexico-based company.
"It offers the passenger lumbar support, 2-12 motors as well as having a heat and cooling system which draws heat and moisture away from the passenger's body which refreshes them - great for long hall flights where you can get very dehydrated."

The Airbus and Boeing-certificated seats are already installed in the premium class sections of Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad, Qantas, Air India and Kingfisher aircraft, and there is interest from the VIP market.
"While we are not advertising them as a health benefit as yet it is obvious that it will help circulation as well as relax the passenger making their flight much more enjoyable," says Rothenberger.
