This heated back massager — 40% off — makes for a soothing Father's Day surprise

While a trip to the spa is the ultimate de-stressor, Dad might not have the time or money for that kind of splurge (and, frankly, spa-ing might not be his thing). But you can bring the chill-out experience home with this popular heated back massager by Boriwat. It can help loosen up his muscles without breaking the bank — especially now that it's a whopping 45% off. Just in time for Father's Day, you can score this aah-some device for just $33 (down from $60), making it a great last-minute gift.

This back massager is normally $60. Prime members get a 10% markdown, and an on-page coupon tacks on an additional 40% discount. We're feeling more relaxed already!

Along with three different massage settings, the gadget provides two heating levels that work together to help soothe achy muscles in Dad's neck and upper and lower back. The four massager nodes move bi-directionally to give the feeling of a shiatsu massage that works so well, shoppers say it “feels almost like real hands.”

The massager boasts a unique design that is shaped to fit over Dad's shoulders or around his hips, so he can easily treat his back while sitting or laying down. It has a sturdy foam core that keeps its shape even when he's lying on it and a smooth leather exterior that feels nice against the skin. The heated portion is covered in mesh to prevent him from overheating and the remote is attached, so he never has to search for it when he wants to adjust the heat or massage settings.

The Boriwat's 3.09-lb. weight will make it super easy for Dad to take it from bedroom to patio to man-cave, and it has an automatic shut-off feature — meaning he’ll never have to worry about it running down when he dozes off.

More than 5,000 Amazon shoppers give this heated back massager a perfect rating.

The easy-to-use massager has helped out plenty of Amazon shoppers, including those with medical conditions like chronic back pain and tension headaches. “I am 82 years old and suffer from every illness that you could imagine,” wrote one. "I live with constant neck and lower back pain. But no longer. My massage pillow works wonders. The pain was gone in 15 minutes and has not returned in over three hours. And it is cheaper than a massage chair.”

“I use it on my lower back, neck and feet (for my plantar fasciitis). It’s light and powerful. The best health investment for my well-being. A spa at home for a great price,” raved another.

Plenty of shoppers purchased the massager as a Father's Day gift, too. "Got this for husband for Father’s Day so he’d stop asking me to rub his back," said one. "Every time he used it he would exclaim how it was targeting his knots. I’m using it now and don’t want to share."

"I got this for my dad on Father’s Day and he couldn’t be more happy," shared another. "He uses this everywhere, from in his bed to the living room and even in his car. Was really thrilled to know I finally succeeded in getting my dad a good gift!"

You may need to sit close to an outlet or get ahold of an extension cord. "My wife and I both get frequent tension headaches and this massager is a life saver," explained one four-star reviewer. "It's a terrific value for the price; the only thing holding it back from five stars is that the supplied power cord isn't super long, so if you use this on a couch or recliner, you may need to move them right next to the outlet or use a rolling office chair."

"I bought this over six months ago for my husband for Father's Day. It has held up well and is well loved. The only thing is I wish the cord was a little longer. Otherwise it's a great little massager," said another.

Whether you’re snagging one for your pop or are convinced you need one as well, be sure to snatch up this mega-popular massager for way less while you still can. And keep in mind: Father's Day is les than two weeks away!

Over 5,000 Amazon shoppers gave it a perfect five-star rating; thousands more were left too limp and blissed-out to write one.
