The Fujiiryoki Cyber Relax Elite is, without exaggeration, the best stretch massage chair I’ve ever used. It combines a true Flex Track, powerful shoulder, waist, and pelvic airbags, and a kneading calf roller to deliver full-body traction that feels closer to assisted yoga than a standard massage chair routine. The touchscreen tablet is incredibly easy to navigate, the 4D-style roller precision is excellent, and the chair is clearly built for people who want deep muscle release and mobility improvement, and not just relaxation. If you want a stretch-focused massage experience that very few chairs can match at any price, the Cyber Relax Elite is absolutely worth the investment.
First Impressions (Design, Build, Fit & Finish)
The moment I sat in the Cyber Relax Elite, it was clear this was a Japanese-engineered chair is refined, solid, and extremely well balanced.
Here’s what stood out immediately:
- Build Quality: True premium fit and finish. The frame feels rock-solid, and every movement is smooth with no wobbling or abrupt transitions.
- Upholstery: Soft-touch synthetic leather that feels premium but still durable.
- Ergonomics: Your spine and hips settle naturally into the contour of the Flex Track, letting the rollers stay in consistent contact.
- Seat Support: Excellent lower body anchoring thanks to the thickly padded seat and strategically placed airbags.
- Roller First Feel: The rollers land exactly where they should, especially around the neck and shoulder region, thanks to Fujiiryoki’s precise body mapping.
- User Fit: Best for users in the ~5'0"–6'3" range depending on proportions.
- Quiet Operation: As expected from a Japanese chair, it’s extremely quiet.
My first impression? This is a purpose-built therapeutic stretching machine disguised as a luxury massage chair.
Massage Performance Deep Dive
Flex Track System
The Flex Track is one of the signature features of the Fujiiryoki Cyber Relax Elite, and it’s one of the reasons this chair delivers the best stretch programs I’ve ever experienced. Unlike fixed L-Track or SL-Track designs, the Flex Track actually bends and moves with your spine and hips, allowing the chair to stretch your body in ways rigid tracks simply cannot.
Because the track is flexible, the chair can provide lift and traction to your entire spine, bend and extend your back naturally, and create far deeper decompression when fully reclined. It also moves with your torso during twisting and stretching motions, producing a kind of yoga-like spinal mobility.
4D Roller Mechanism
Fujiiryoki is famous for its roller engineering, and the Cyber Relax Elite showcases exactly why. The roller system delivers true 4D massage with smooth, controlled pressure that feels far more intentional than most chairs in this category. What immediately stood out to me was how consistent and steady the rollers felt from the neck all the way down the lower back, thanks to the very precise body scan. No sudden jumps, no dead zones, just a clean, continuous massage path.
The Fujiiryoki Cyber Relax Elite excels in neck and shoulder work, landing on tight muscles with pinpoint precision and applying pressure that feels both natural and effective. Despite its smooth, relaxing rhythm, the rollers can also deliver surprisingly strong intensity when you turn the depth up. This balance of comfort and power is where Fujiiryoki really shines.
Calf & Foot Massage
While most chairs rely only on airbags, the Cyber Relax Elite features a massage roller behind the calves, which immediately elevates the experience. The massage behind the calves works together with side airbags to create a rhythmic, therapeutic kneading motion, which is far more effective than standard air-only compression.
The foot rollers are equally impressive, delivering firm reflexology-style pressure through multiple roller nodes that target the arches, heels, and toe pads. With adjustable speed and intensity, the foot and calf mechanisms work in perfect sync to provide a full lower-leg treatment.
What makes this system stand out:
- Calf roller + airbags for deep, dynamic muscle work
- Multi-node foot rollers for structured reflexology
- Adjustable intensities for personalized comfort
- Smooth synergy between calf and foot massage
If you’re on your feet all day or struggle with tight calves, this chair provides some of the best lower-leg therapy in its entire category.
Air Compression
This chair’s airbags aren’t just for comfort, they’re critical for the stretching performance.
Key zones include:
- Shoulder airbags: hold your upper body firmly
- Waist airbags: anchor your torso in place
- Pelvic/seat airbags: stabilize your hips
- Leg and calf airbags: secure your lower body
- Foot airbags: keep your feet positioned correctly for traction
When all these zones engage during stretch programs, the traction is phenomenal.
Nothing wiggles, nothing slips, and you feel fully supported and safely held.
Heat Therapy
This model provides dual-zone heating in both the lower back and the calves, creating a much more complete warming experience.
The lumbar heat helps soften tight lower-back muscles, making the roller work feel deeper and more effective without increasing intensity. Meanwhile, the calf heat adds an entirely new dimension to the lower-leg massage. When combined with the kneading calf roller and side compression airbags, the warmth helps melt away tension and boosts circulation through the legs.
Stretching Programs — The Best Stretching Chair I’ve Ever Used
If I had to describe the stretch programs in one word: ELITE.
Here’s what makes them so incredible:
- The Flex Track bends with your spine
- Shoulder, waist, and hip airbags lock you in place
- Leg extension + calf rollers create traction
- Twisting, arching, and decompression sequences feel controlled and safe
- Movements are fluid, not jerky
- Stretches feel deeper than any L-Track or SL-Track chair can produce
The Thai-style and spinal decompression programs are unmatched by anything in this price category, or even many chairs far above it.
I’ve tested every major stretch-focused chair, and the Cyber Relax Elite remains the best stretching experience I’ve ever had.

The interface is clean, modern, and fast.
Real-World Ease of Use

I tested every program, but nothing beats the stretch-focused options. The combination of traction, Flex Track movement, and calf roller involvement creates a full-body experience that simply does not exist on fixed-track chairs.
