Compared with the 2.0 at the same price, the 3.0's spec table lists a much taller fit (to 6'9" vs 6'2"), a wider seat (22" vs 20") and a lighter frame (291 lbs. vs 313 lbs.). It is taller upright (52" vs 46") and longer reclined (79" vs 74"), and it needs 7" from the wall instead of 2". Both list 38 programs and 285 lbs.
Which fits tall users?
The Super Novo 3.0, by a wide margin. It lists 5'0" to 6'9", the tallest fit of any chair in this comparison. The 2.0 and X both list 5'0" to 6'2". If anyone in your home is over 6'2", the 3.0 is the one to look at. All three list a 285 lb recommended weight, and the 3.0 also has the widest seat at 22".
Which needs the least space?
The 2.0 and X both need 2" from the wall, while the 3.0 needs 7". The 2.0 is also the shortest when reclined, at 74" long. The X is the heaviest at 369 lbs., so plan the delivery path. All three are 34" wide, so measure doorways.
Is the Super Novo X worth $4,000 more?
The X is Human Touch's top model and costs $4,000 more than the 2.0 or 3.0. Its spec table lists 39 programs (one more than the others), a 21" seat, a 2" wall gap and a 5'0" to 6'2" fit. It has 5.0 from 1 buyer on our site. If you're over 6'2", the 3.0 fits better for less.

Standard shipping is curbside: it ships by freight to the 48 contiguous states, and the freight company delivers to a carport or first-floor entryway. From there, plan on two or more people to move the box inside, and measure every doorway, hallway turn and stair landing on the way to the room, not just the room itself. Assembly is required and can take 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the chair. Many product pages also list In-Home Delivery (inside your home, no stairs, just inside the doorway) and In-Home Delivery and Assembly; check the product page for the options and cost for your model. Once it's in place, leave the listed wall gap so the backrest can recline fully and leave room in front for the leg rest to extend. Check the owner's manual for power and outlet guidance before you plug it in. Try several programs in the first days so you can raise any fit questions early. If you return a chair, a return fee applies.
