SL-Flex Track System: The Flex Track System employs a blend of innovative engineering and is the top similarity in this massage chair comparison. The S-shaped curve ensures that the rollers follow the natural contours of the human spine, delivering a massage that closely emulates the touch of a human masseuse. This feature alone provides significant relief from muscle tension and stress. However, what truly sets the SL-Flex Track System apart is its L-shaped extension. This extension allows the rollers to travel down beyond the lower back, all the way to the glutes and hamstrings. This extended coverage targets often-neglected areas and addresses concerns related to lower back pain and overall posture.
4D Massage Rollers: The "4D" designation in these chairs refers to the fourth dimension, which represents the ability to adjust the depth of the massage rollers. In other words, these chairs offer the option to customize how far the rollers protrude from the chair's backrest. This level of adjustability means that the massage can be tailored to individual preferences, catering to different body types, comfort levels, and specific pain points.
Dual Massage Mechanism: The Dual Massage Mechanism essentially employs two sets of massage rollers that work in tandem to provide a diverse range of massage techniques. These massage rollers are strategically positioned within the chair's backrest and seat, and they are designed to replicate the motions and pressures of human hands during a massage. The primary advantage of the Dual Massage Mechanism is its ability to offer both 4D and 2D massage techniques concurrently. As mentioned earlier, 4D massage rollers are capable of adjusting the intensity, speed, and depth of the massage. Meanwhile, 2D massage rollers move along the horizontal and vertical axes, simulating the movements of a human masseuse's hands. By combining these two technologies, users can benefit from the best of both worlds—a deeply therapeutic massage that is also nuanced and tailored to their preferences.
Health Detection: Health detection involves using various sensors and algorithms to gather information about the user's body composition, posture, and physical condition. This data is then analyzed by the massage chair's system to determine the most appropriate massage techniques, intensity levels, and massage areas. The goal is to ensure that the massage not only addresses the user's preferences but also takes into account their specific physical needs.
Full Body Air Compression: The Osaki Vivo and Osaki DuoMax Massage Chairs are equipped with a Full Body Air Compression feature, which adds another dimension of relaxation and therapeutic benefits to the massage experience. Full Body Air Compression utilizes a system of airbags strategically placed throughout the chair to provide a gentle yet invigorating compression massage to various parts of the body. Airbags, or air cells, are positioned in key areas of the massage chair, including the shoulders, arms, hips, thighs, calves, and feet. These airbags are designed to inflate and deflate in a coordinated manner, simulating the sensation of human hands gently squeezing and releasing specific muscle groups. This compression action promotes improved circulation, reduced muscle tension, and an overall sense of relaxation.
Zero Gravity Recline: In the Zero Gravity position, the massage chair reclines to a specific angle that elevates the user's legs above the heart level. This slight tilt allows the body's weight to be distributed along the backrest, seat, and leg rest, minimizing pressure on the spine and reducing stress on the lower back. The result is a sensation of weightlessness and a feeling of floating, which can enhance the overall massage experience. The Osaki DuoMax has a second stage of Zero Gravity, allowing for an even further recline. The Osaki Vivo massage chair does not have a second stage of Zero Gravity.
Space Saving Technology: The Space Saving Technology works by minimizing the amount of space required for the massage chair to fully recline. Traditional massage chairs often need a significant amount of clearance behind them to accommodate their full recline. However, the Space Saving Technology in the Osaki massage chairs enables them to recline while using a significantly smaller space, just as little as a few inches from the wall. The Osaki Vivo requires 9.5 inches of clearance from the wall and the Osaki DuoMax requires only 5.5 inches of clearance.
Auto Extendable Footrest: The primary purpose of the Auto Extendable Footrest is to ensure that users can fully enjoy the benefits of the massage chair, regardless of their height. When a user sits in the chair and initiates a massage program, the footrest automatically extends or retracts to provide optimal support for the legs and feet. This feature eliminates the need for manual adjustments and ensures that users of varying heights can achieve proper leg positioning for a comfortable and effective massage. The Osaki Vivo’s footrest can extend up to 6 inches and is perfect for users who are between 5’0” - 6’3” in height. The Osaki DuoMax’s footrest can extend up to 6.5 inches and is perfect for users who are between 5’0” - 6’1” in height.
Calf Kneading: Calf Kneading is achieved through the use of massage r airbags positioned in the lower portion of the massage chair. When activated, these airbags perform rhythmic kneading and squeezing motions on the calves, imitating the techniques used by human hands during a professional massage. This technique aims to alleviate muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote overall relaxation in the lower legs.
Voice Control Technology: Voice Control Technology offers a seamless and intuitive way to interact with the massage chair's features without the need to manually operate buttons or navigate through menus. By simply speaking voice commands, users can initiate specific massage programs, adjust settings, change massage techniques, and more, enhancing the overall user experience.
Touchscreen Remote Control: The Touchscreen Remote Control replaces traditional button-based controls with a digital touchscreen interface. This interface displays relevant information and options in a user-friendly layout, allowing users to easily navigate through various massage programs, settings, and adjustments.
Side Control Panel: The Side Control Panel is a convenient and accessible feature present in the Osaki Vivo and Osaki DuoMax Massage Chairs. This feature offers users an alternative method for operating and customizing their massage experience without needing to use a remote control. The side control panel is strategically placed on the massage chair itself, allowing users to easily make adjustments while seated.
USB Port + Wireless Phone Charger: The inclusion of a USB Port and Wireless Phone Charger in the Osaki Vivo and Osaki DuoMax Massage Chairs reflects the integration of modern technology to enhance the user experience and convenience. These features provide a practical solution for staying connected, entertained, and charged while enjoying the comfort of a massage.
Bluetooth Speakers: The incorporation of Bluetooth Speakers in the Osaki Vivo and Osaki DuoMax Massage Chairs offers users an immersive and multi-sensory experience by combining the benefits of massage therapy with high-quality audio entertainment. This feature allows users to connect their Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as smartphones or tablets, to the massage chair's speakers, enhancing relaxation and enjoyment during massage sessions.
