4D Massage Chairs

Welcome to our article about the best 4D massage chairs! Before we review our top 7 chairs below, let’s first discuss what 4D massage is.

4D Massage Chairs – Introduction

The very first massage chairs created featured 2D or 2-dimensional massage roller technology.

These rollers were able to move with a back-and-forth and up-and-down motion, staying on a flat plane in 2 dimensions. 

Then 3D massage chairs came into play, adding an in-and-out movement to the rollers.

This enables them to push outward from the track and provide deeper, targeted massages.

The depth and intensity of this action could be increased or decreased to suit the user’s requirements and preferences.

And now, innovations in massage technology have made 4D massage chairs possible.

The rollers in these chairs move through the 3 dimensions but also incorporate speed, intensity, and rhythm.

These 4D rollers can reach all of the back and leg contours just like real-life therapeutic massages to provide a tailored yet targeted experience.

Benefits of 4D Massage Chairs

The physical benefits of 4D massage chairs include:

• Greater relief and loosening of aching muscles
• Stress, anxiety, and tension alleviation
• Improvement in blood circulation
• Posture improvement through spine alignment
• Lower heart rate and blood pressure
• Complete relaxation
• Improved quality of sleep

4D massage chairs have given users total control over every aspect of their massage, and are the closest you can get to an actual human masseuse.

Because they are so innovative and high-tech, the typical 4D massage chair is more expensive than most other standard massage chairs.

However, if you regularly spend hundreds of dollars on a massage every month, they are likely to be well worth the investment in the long run.

You be able to have a life-like massage at home whenever you want, instead of having to wait for your next appointment and travel to and from it.

Also, the years of use you will get out of your 4D massage chair is likely to work out cheaper in the long run.

Even if you don’t regularly get massages but are looking for a high-tech, luxury massage chair to relax in, 4D massage chairs are the way to go!

With that said, let’s now have a quick look at our top chairs before getting into the detailed reviews below.

4D Massage Chairs –  Reviews

Synca Kagra 4D Premium Massage Chair

The Synca Kagra 4D Premium Massage Chair is a Japanese-engineered massage chair that provides superb performance, versatility, and luxury.

When upright, it measures 53.1” x 35” x 48.4”, and when reclined, is 73.6” x 35” x 36.6”. It weighs 211.6 lbs. 

The Zero Gravity Positioning places your body in a neutral posture to decompress your spinal disks and reduce tension and pressure on your back.

Its 4D mechanism delivers rhythmic horizontal, vertical, and deep roller action that you can customize according to your specific needs. 

The 78 massage techniques and 3 programs can be accessed manually or automatically to give you a therapeutic and relaxing massage.

You can even save your customizations for your next massage with one touch of a button.

You can adjust the angles of the backrest and footrest, and the armrests will adjust automatically as you recline the backrest.

This allows you to maintain full contact with the massage surfaces at all times.

We love that you can place the heat pad behind you to heat your back and in front of you to heat your chest and stomach.

It even has pocket warmers to heat your hands, and foot and calf heaters so your whole body is warmed and relaxed.

This makes it a great option for those who live in cooler climates.

It also has a pet shield at the bottom of the chair to prevent any cats or small dogs from hiding under it and getting caught in the chair moves.

We were super impressed by this as it shows that Synca has really considered all possibilities with this chair, and not just the comfort of the user.

Osaki Os-Pro Soho 4D Massage Chair

The Osaki Os-Pro Soho 4D Massage Chair combines the elegance of wooden-trimmed aesthetics with the solid, high-quality functionality Osaki has always been known for.

It measures 52.5” x 29.53” x 44.9” when upright and 65.6″ x 29.53″ x 37.5″ when reclined. It weighs 243 lbs and has a maximum weight capacity of 220 lbs.

The 4D rollers of this chair are capable of traversing a distance of 32” starting from your neck to your back, tracing the contours of the spine in a natural S shape.

It comes with 6 automatic massage modes including Sleeping, Thai, Strengthen, Relax, Neck, Shoulder, and Recover.

This is great for trying out new massage styles to see which one suits your body best or easily switching between styles depending on your mood.

Its Next-Generation Airbag System has 30 airbags strategically placed in the arm, calf, shoulder, glute, and feet areas of the chair, to provide a cohesive all-over massage.

The rollers are designed to provide heat as they travel up and down your neck and back, administering heat evenly and efficiently.

There are 4 heating pads on both sides of the footrest, working in conjunction with the airbags for a most effective massage.

Its space-saving feature slides the chair forward on its base, requiring only a few inches of wall clearance during the recline.

The extendable ottoman can also be rotated inwards when not in use.

These features make this chair a great option for those living in a small house or apartment.

This is also the most affordable 4D massage chair reviewed in this article and the best one in its price range that we found on the market. If you’re on a budget but still want the quality, comfort, and relaxation that a 4D massage chair can provide, we recommend opting for the Osaki OS-Pro Soho.

Osaki OS-Pro Maestro 4D Massage Chair

The Osaki OS-Pro Maestro 4D Massage Chair is one of Osaki’s most advanced, and probably most expensive massage chairs yet. It may also be one of the only 4D L-Track massage chairs ever.

When upright, it measures 60” x 30” x 47.5”, and 69” x 30” x 39.5” when reclined. It weighs 350 lbs. 

It comes with 8 automatic massage programs including Lady, Gentleman, Relax, Scraping, Swing, Demo, Shiatsu, and Stretch modes.

The chair also features 5 speed and intensity settings. 

And the 32 airbags are strategically located on the shoulders, waist, hips, arms, calves, and feet.

They target the areas where the rollers cannot reach, complementing and completing their actions perfectly and providing a cohesive, all-over body massage.

Instead of heating pads, this chair features 4D rollers that heat up as they massage you from the neck, shoulders, back, glutes, and hamstrings, giving you effective and immediate results. This feature is quite amazing because it feels like warm hands massaging you all over.

What may probably be its best feature is the industry-leading 52” L-track that starts at the base of the neck to follow the curvature of your spine, going all the way down and embracing your glutes to give you the most wide-ranging massage possible.

In addition to the standard body scan, this chair also has an automatic leg scan that extends out to 8” to accommodate users of all different heights.

Whilst this is one of the most expensive 4D massage chairs available, if you have the money and are looking to invest it in a sublime massage experience, then we highly recommend this chair.

Lifesmart 4D Zero Gravity Massage Chair

The Lifesmart 4D Zero Gravity Massage Chair takes home massage to a whole new level with its stylish black faux leather exterior and a host of outstanding features.

It measures 63.7” x 31.89” x 47.64” and weighs 321 lbs. Its Zero Space Design allows the chair to slide forward when in use without needing too much wall clearance, making it a great option for small spaces.

It is equipped with 12 pre-programmed massage modes, and 5 massage techniques designed to relieve backaches, improve blood circulation, ease muscle tension, and massage your stresses away. We love the pre-programmed massage modes the best because you can simply select the one you want and relax.

Its manual massage mode provides a combination of Shiatsu and kneading on the back and neck along with rhythmic air compression massages. 

The Zero Gravity position elevates your feet higher than your heart to reduce gravity on your vertebrae, maximizing the whole massage experience and relieving the aches and pains of your back.

It has 58 airbags, along with its Back Heating Therapy, which provides a deluxe full-body pressure massage. 

You can access all functions and operations of this massage chair with its exclusive remote control tablet mounted on the left-hand side panel. 

Bluetooth capability allows you to listen to your favorite music and soothing LED lighting sets the perfect mood for your “me time.”

Osaki Pro OS-4D Paragon

The Osaki Pro OS-4D Paragon is an updated version of an older Osaki model, featuring the same high-quality performance but with the addition of a 21st-century innovation – Voice Recognition.

It measures 63.8” x 35.2” x 49.2” when upright, and 77” x 35.2” x 38.8” when reclined. It weighs 266.8 lbs.

It has a Zero Gravity Design that places your knees above your chest, decompressing the spine and maximizing the massage intensity for calming relaxation and stimulated circulation.

It offers a 4D L-track massage with heated rollers for an enhanced massage experience. What’s more, the L-track has a multi-angle capability that enables the rollers to move up and down at angles to provide a more focused massage to the hamstrings.

The calf and foot massage are upgraded with spinning reflexology rollers that, along with the airbags, provide an outstanding compression massage. Plus, the foot rollers are heated, soothing tired feet and alleviating aches and pains.

Perhaps its most significant feature is Voice Recognition. This chair is equipped with a small microphone placed around the speakers that can recognize 9 different phrases. This means you can switch up your massage without moving a muscle or even opening your eyes, allowing you to relax uninterrupted for as long as you like.

Although, if you want to be on the quiet side, the LED remote control with user-friendly buttons will also do the trick.

Synca JP1100 4D Massage Chair

The Synca JP1100 4D Massage Chair is a Japanese-designed and made massage chair with state-of-the-art features, functions, and superior quality that Japanese engineers are known for.

It measures 54.33” x 30” x 49.2” when upright, and 78.75″ x 34.65″ x 29.15″ when reclined. It weighs 171 Pounds. 

This massage chair from Synca Wellness features 21 automatic programs, 81 massage techniques, and 4 half-hour in-depth programs.

It also has 5 programs for the whole body, 4 programs that focus on the neck and shoulders, 4 programs that focus on the waist, and 3 stretching programs. Suffice it to say that no matter what kind of massage you want, the JP1100 will have it pre-programmed for you!

What’s more, it is equipped with a memory program that enables you to create a tailored massage combination and save it for your next sessions.

The 4D S-track massage provides coverage from the base of your head to your tailbone.

The 2 massage balls, the largest in any massage chair at almost 5”, move up and down, left and right, and back and forth in a soft kneading motion that can reach all your tired and aching muscles. We found this to be particularly comforting as the size of the massage balls provides a much more even massage, as opposed to smaller ones which can sometimes dig in a bit painfully.

Finally, the JP 1100 is equipped with 2 body sensors that will perform a comprehensive body scan to give you a personalized massage with just the right depth and pressure every time.

Johnson Wellness J6800 4D Massage Chair

The Johnson Wellness J6800 4D Massage Chair is a Japanese-designed massage chair that takes the concept of a deep tissue massage to a whole new level. 

It measures 53.25” x 35.1” x 48.5” and weighs 213.5 lbs. Its maximum user capacity is 300 lbs, which is slightly more than a standard massage chair, making this a good option for heavier people.

It comes with 7 automatic massage programs and 6 massage techniques. You have a choice of kneading, tapping, Shiatsu, rubbing, rolling, or a combination. You can even save your customized massage techniques and use them any time you want as it can store up to 3 memory profiles.

Its 3D technology provides an additional back-and-forth movement and this function has 46 massage techniques and 11 automatic massage modes. 

Its 4D technology automatically adjusts the speed and pressure of the rollers even in mid-stroke to imitate a real human masseuse.

It has a heating pad for your back and shoulders and hand warmers on the side of the armrests. Your feet are never forgotten as the foot rollers can be heated, too.

The 31 LLDPE Rapid response airbags provide excellent compression massage to target your tight and sore muscles.

This chair has speakers embedded near the head area so you can listen to your favorite music while enjoying your massage, without having to wear uncomfortable headphones. You can even program the chair to synchronize the massage actions in time with your music.

We also loved the little fold-away footrest mechanism that helps save space when the chair isn’t in use and makes the chair more aesthetically pleasing.
