The Osaki High Point is a very popular chair for us because of its price. At around $5,000, it’s hard to find good-quality massage chairs in that price range, and this is a good-quality chair.

We have other options, of course, but this chair has just about every feature you’d want, with the exception of a split track and a dual mechanism, which are both very popular features right now. If those features aren’t important to you, this chair is a fantastic option.

I’m Dr. Alan Weidner from Massage Chair Relief, and today I’m going to introduce you to the Osaki High Point massage chair.

This chair is a big seller for us. When it first came out a few years ago, I believe its original list price was around $12,999. Then the price dropped to $9,999. Eventually, Osaki planned to discontinue the chair, so they lowered the price to $4,999. However, because it became so popular at that price point, they decided to keep it in their lineup. As far as we know, it’s still part of their product lineup.

The chair’s popularity is largely due to its price of $4,999. It features a traditional SL track. It does not have a split track or flex track, and it does not have dual rollers, meaning two separate sets of rollers. Instead, it’s a throwback to the original SL-track design. The rollers travel down your back, follow the natural S-shape of your spine, and continue underneath the seat.

Because it doesn’t have a split track, you won’t get the same type of stretching experience that you would with a split-track SL chair. I hope that clears up some of those terms.

Regardless, this is a very good, powerful massage chair. When you sit in it, you’ll notice that the massage is strong, and it provides a particularly good neck massage. It can also accommodate taller people.

Some chairs make a lot of hydraulic noises or have noticeable rattling from the roller mechanisms when you’re sitting in them. I’d describe the High Point as a very tight, well-built chair. Everything operates smoothly and quietly. For $4,999, it’s hard to beat.

The chair comes with a touchscreen remote that’s very intuitive and easy to use. There’s a power button at the top of the remote. Once the screen comes on and you’re inside the program menu, you have to press a second power button to start the massage. So, there’s a little redundancy when it comes to turning the chair on.

The High Point is available in blue, black, brown, and taupe or beige.

It also has quick keys on the side of the chair. These are essentially shortcuts for the remote controls. If you don’t want to use the touchscreen remote and simply want to turn on the chair and start a program, you can use the quick keys instead.

The chair also has voice control, with a speaker located here. We don’t use the voice-control feature very often in our showroom. Many massage chairs have voice control, and you activate it by saying a specific keyword or prompt. The chair then responds with something like, “Hello, what can I do for you?”

You can communicate with the chair through voice commands, and it can tell you what’s happening while the massage is running.

The chair also has heat and comes with a shoulder shawl that drapes over your shoulders. It has magnets at the bottom to help hold it in place, along with a heating pad. The purpose of the shawl is to warm the front of your body, particularly your chest. It also provides a little extra padding.

Other features include shoulder airbags, speakers, and Bluetooth connectivity.

Another thing I like about this chair is that it has both foot rollers and calf rollers. It also has kneading calf airbags. That means the airbags in the calf area actually rub your calves rather than simply inflating and compressing them.

The rollers are 4D, meaning they move side to side, forward and backward, and up and down. They also have intermittent rhythmic changes in speed during the automatic programs. That’s what the 4D technology provides.

The chair has 44 air cells.

As for the warranty, the chair comes with a factory warranty of one year on labor and three years on parts. However, Osaki includes an additional two-year parts-and-labor warranty extension. That gives you a total of three years of labor coverage and five years of parts coverage.

Most massage chairs offer a maximum of three years of labor coverage. Of course, our lifetime labor warranty covers you beyond those three years. Some chairs only come with one year of labor coverage, including some other Osaki models.

When the High Point first came out, it was considered a high-end massage chair, and Osaki is still offering that extended warranty at no additional cost.

The chair is also a space saver, or what some people call a wall hugger. There’s a difference between the two terms. A space-saving chair doesn’t need to sit the full 18 inches away from the wall, so you can position it closer.

A true wall-hugger design allows you to place the chair within an inch or two of the wall. When the chair reclines, it moves forward rather than pushing backward into the wall. This helps prevent damage to your wall, which has actually happened in some of our showrooms when we’ve installed a new chair and reclined it without carefully watching how far it moved.

I think that’s just about it for the main features. The High Point has 16 automatic programs and offers a comfortable fit, particularly for taller people.

As I mentioned, the massage is very strong. If it’s too intense, you can adjust the intensity. The airbags are also quite powerful and provide strong compression. So, if you like firm compression around your arms, legs, and feet, this chair delivers. Of course, you can turn the air pressure down if you prefer something gentler.

You can also adjust the intensity of the rollers. Since the roller massage is quite strong, it may be too intense for some people. If that’s the case, you can take a throw blanket, fold it into quarters lengthwise, and lay it over the back of the chair. This adds an extra layer of padding and softens the massage.

I think that’s just about everything for the Osaki High Point.

It’s a very popular chair for us because of its price. At around $5,000, it’s hard to find good-quality massage chairs in that price range, and this is a good-quality option. We have other chairs, of course, but this one has just about every feature you’d want, except for the split track and dual mechanism, which are very popular features right now. If those features aren’t important to you, this chair is a fantastic choice.
