Forbes' best overall and Good Housekeeping's most comfortable pick, with a 3D SL-track, full-body airbags and three zero-gravity positions for about $2,000. Amazon owners say the auto programs can be very intense, and some report knocking noises and buggy software.
Top complaints
- Auto programs can be too intense
Amazon owners say even the 'gentle' mode is quite aggressive and deep, that they felt a little bruised after day one, and that intensity can only be reduced in manual mode. An 81-year-old reviewer found most programs too rough, and another described the rollers suddenly jumping to maximum.
- Knocking noises and software glitches
Amazon's review summary says some owners report loud knocking noises. A 1-star reviewer says that after 10 months of daily use it began knocking, locking up mid-recline and shutting down. A 3-star reviewer lists bugs: an airbag section not activating, Bluetooth staying connected after power-off, and legs retracting fully in zero gravity.
- Shorter coverage than the ads suggest
Good Housekeeping lists no calf kneading as its con. An Amazon reviewer says the SL-track stops well short of the hamstrings and barely reaches the glutes. Another notes the body scan isn't saved, so it repeats every session.
What owners love
- Full-body coverage with three zero-gravity stages
Forbes says the SL-track covers nearly your full body, with a 3D mechanism and lumbar heat. Good Housekeeping highlights the 32-cell air massage and three zero-gravity positions.

Amazon's summary says owners find it easy to set up. Reviewers say it came already built apart from one step, and that the roughly 170 lb chair went through a 33.5-inch doorway on a dolly.
