The Osaki OS-Highpointe 4D delivers a high-end, deeply customizable massage experience with its advanced 4D roller mechanism, SL-Track, and multi-zone full-body heat. It’s ideal for users who want strong back relief, heated front-body coverage via the heated shawl, and premium comfort features like touchscreen controls, air compression, and space-saving recline. The Highpointe excels in precision, heat therapy, and daily comfort, making it one of the better premium-value 4D chairs on the market.
First Impressions (Design, Build, Fit & Finish)
Right away, the chair feels premium. The upholstery is soft, supportive, and noticeably higher quality than typical mid-range models. Sitting down, the chair naturally cradles your spine, and the padding strikes a nice balance between plush and structured. The frame feels solid with smooth reclining mechanics and surprisingly quiet operation.
The SL-Track design gives you extended roller coverage from the neck through the glutes, and even before turning the chair on, you can tell the rollers are positioned to deliver a strong, anatomically aligned massage path. Space-saving recline helps keep placement flexible, and the chair comfortably fits users roughly between 5’0” and 6’3”.
Massage Performance Deep Dive
4D Roller Mechanism: Premium Precision You Can Feel Immediately
Once the body scan finishes, the Highpointe’s 4D rollers start working with a smooth, controlled motion that feels incredibly natural. The roller depth is fully adjustable, and the higher settings deliver strong, therapeutic pressure without feeling sharp or mechanical. I appreciated how well the rollers traced my spine, especially in the neck and upper back, where cheaper chairs tend to struggle.
The 4D rhythm is fluid, and during my testing, I found the Highpointe excellent for daily muscle recovery, stress relief, and deeper shoulder work. It’s easily one of the best-feeling 4D roller systems in its price class.
Track System: Extended SL-Track for Full-Length Back Coverage
The Highpointe uses a long SL-Track that combines spinal ergonomics with extended roller reach. From the top of the neck down to the glutes, the roller maintains consistent, even pressure with no dead spots. During testing, I especially liked how the chair handled the transition from the lower back to the glutes, as it stayed connected to the muscle rather than losing pressure.
Calf & Foot Massage
The calf massage on the Osaki OS-Highpointe 4D is much more advanced than standard air-only calf systems. You get a rear calf roller that works up and down the back of the calves, a kneading center piece that massages the sides of the legs, and airbags that stabilize and squeeze the muscle. This combination creates a rolling–kneading–compression rhythm that feels therapeutic rather than just “inflating and deflating.” During testing, I found the calf roller especially effective for flushing tension after long standing days, and the center kneading pad adds a level of detail you normally don’t see outside much more expensive chairs.
The foot massage is equally well done. The rollers use multiple nodes to target the arches, heels, and toe pads, and the intensity is adjustable so you can fine-tune it depending on your sensitivity. Paired with the calf roller and kneading mechanism, the Highpointe offers one of the most complete lower-leg massage systems in its class.
Air Compression System
Airbags wrap the shoulders, arms, hands, hips, calves, and feet, giving the Osaki OS-Highpointe a full-body compression experience. The inflation is smooth, quiet, and well-sequenced, which is something I always notice in higher-end chairs. I found the arm compression especially soothing, thanks to the gentle grip and consistent pressure.
Heat Therapy — Lumbar, Calves, and a Heated Shawl
The heat system on the Highpointe is a standout feature. You get lumbar heat, calf heat, and a heated shawl that you can drape across your chest, stomach, or legs. This multi-zone heat coverage is extremely rare and adds a level of comfort I found addictive.
During my sessions, the heated shawl helped me relax quickly and allowed the 4D rollers to feel even more effective. Combined with the calf heat, this is one of the warmest, coziest massages I’ve experienced in a premium chair.
Stretching Programs
Stretching on the Highpointe is smooth, comfortable, and effective for everyday mobility. It uses coordinated recline, leg extension, and shoulder/hip compression to create a gentle traction effect. I found it ideal for loosening up before bed or after long work sessions.
Ease of Use (Remote + Controls)
Menu System
The touchscreen tablet remote is bright, responsive, and easy to navigate. The menus are logically organized, and I could quickly switch between programs, adjust 4D depth, tweak airbags, or change recline positions without slowing down the massage.
Additional Controls
You also get armrest quick controls for recline, angle adjustments, and essential functions, which is great for when you’re already relaxed and don’t want to reach for the tablet. These buttons are well-placed and responsive.
Real-World Ease of Use
In daily use, the Highpointe is extremely intuitive. I loved being able to adjust the backrest and ottoman independently and appreciated how responsive the recline motors were. The quick start options make it easy to jump into a session, and the chair transitions smoothly between positions with minimal noise.

Programs + Personal Favorites

The heat-focused programs pair especially well with the heated shawl, and the chair’s gentle stretch routine became one of my nightly go-to options.
