Are you on the hunt for the perfect Father's Day gift? If you're looking to treat dad to a little TLC this year, the Zyllion Shiatsu Back and Neck Massager may be worth looking into.

Backed by more than 38,000 reviews and an "Amazon's Choice" title, shoppers call the pillow a "reliable little beast" and say it's "phenomenal" at loosening tight muscles and relieving back pain.

While the pillow normally retails for $100, Amazon Canada shoppers can take it home for just $72 until midnight PST (3 a.m. EST).

The details

This best-selling neck and back massager replicates a Japanese Shiatsu massage to help relax overused and tight muscles.

The pillow's four massage nodes are programmed to automatically reverse directions every minute, mimicking a genuine massage experience. It has an optional infrared heat function to help boost circulation and comes equipped with a protection mechanism that auto shuts off the feature after 20 minutes.

Whether you're seeking post-workout relief or some much-needed TLC after a long work day, the massage pillow can help ease stress and pain in almost all areas of the body, including your lower and upper back, abdomen, calves and neck.

What people are saying

With over 38,000 reviews and an average rating of 4.4 stars, it's no wonder the Zyllion Shiatsu Back and Neck Massager has earned itself an "Amazon's Choice" title.

According to one reviewer, the nodes on the massage pillow "actually" feel like "fingers kneading [the] muscle." They add that, with regular use, their muscle pain and discomfort have "completely subsided," calling the Zyllion device a "lifesaver at an incredible price."

Another shopper says the pillow is an "amazing" alternative when you can't see a massage therapist or chiropractor. It "helps so much" with stress, kinks and pain, they write.

The pillow is "phenomenal for loosening tight muscles" and "relieving pain," echos a third shopper.

It's a "reliable little beast," they say. If it was "distributed to everyone over 30," the pillow could "end wars, mend marriages," and "save humanity from itself," they write.

Despite its 28,000 five-star ratings, some shoppers say the pillow is "awkwardly shaped" for neck massages and is "best for [the] lower back."

If you want an "allover" back massage, the pillow is "perfect," notes another shopper. However, if you need relief in your neck and shoulders specifically, this "isn't the best fit," they conclude.

The verdict

If you're looking for the perfect Father's Day gift for a massage-loving dad, Amazon shoppers say the Zyllion Shiatsu Back and Neck Massager is "phenomenal" at loosening tight muscles. However, several reviewers note the pillow works best on your lower and upper back and may not provide adequate relief for neck and shoulder pain, something to keep in mind when placing your order.
