Two Mechanisms: 5D Upper and 4D Lower
The Apex Duo uses two separate roller mechanisms on an SL-Track. A 5D quad-style roller handles the upper body, and a 4D quad-style roller handles the lower body. Each offers five speed and intensity settings. Listed techniques include kneading, tapping, knocking, shiatsu, and kneading and tapping.
Live body scanning
The product page describes live body scanning: once the first scan finishes, the upper rollers keep adjusting as you shift in your seat.
Programs
The Apex Duo lists 46 automatic programs. It also has manual programs, deep tissue and stretch programs.
Air Massage, Calves and Feet
With 62 airbags, air massage covers the shoulders, neck, arms, waist, seat, calves and feet, with five intensity settings. The lower body gets a calf roller, calf kneading on the outer airbags, foot rollers and air compression. The footrest adjusts automatically.
Heat and Extras
Heat covers four areas: the rollers, lumbar, calves and feet. The chair also lists LED lighting, ion and aroma features, Bluetooth speakers, and wireless and USB charging. You can control it with a touchscreen tablet, armrest controls or your voice.
Colors and Upholstery
The Apex Duo comes in Taupe, Black and Brown, all in synthetic leather. The seat is 21 inches wide and the shoulder width is 24.5 inches. Call us to confirm availability for the color you want.
Space, Size and Delivery
This is a big chair that needs very little room behind it. It needs just 1 inch from the wall to recline. It measures 65.7" long upright, 70.9" long reclined and 33.5" wide, and weighs 332.3 lbs. The listed minimum door width is 33.5" assembled.
It ships in two boxes with a total listed shipping weight of 396.6 lbs., so plan for help. Shipping is free to the contiguous U.S. (48 states), and In-Home Delivery and Assembly is available for an added fee. See shipping information.
How It Compares
If you like the Apex Duo's 5D+4D setup but want a lower price, the Osaki 5D+4D Kairos Duo is $5,999 as of today, with the same 1-inch wall distance and 5'0" to 6'4" height range. The Apex adds more programs (46 vs 20), more airbags (62 vs 56), live body scanning and heated feet. Both list a 3-year limited warranty. See our Highpointe vs Kairos Duo comparison for more on the Kairos.

Our Verdict
The Osaki AI Apex Duo 5D+4D is built for buyers who want the most from one chair: two mechanisms, live body scanning, 46 programs, 62 airbags and heat in four areas, in a chair that sits 1 inch from the wall. It's a big, heavy chair, so measure your doorways and line up delivery help. If you like the 5D+4D layout but want to spend less, compare it with the Kairos Duo first. Either way, call us to confirm the current price and availability for your color.
