The Osaki OS-Pro Admiral II is a 3D L-Track massage chair built for users who want strong back relief, solid customization, and full-body comfort without paying premium-chair pricing. The quad-style 3D rollers feel smooth and surprisingly strong, the L-Track provides long-path coverage from the neck to the glutes, and the chair includes a wide range of automatic programs that actually feel distinct. The Admiral II delivers an excellent daily massage at an impressive value.
First Impressions (Design, Build, Fit & Finish)
When I first sat in the Admiral II, the comfort immediately stood out. The cushioning is balanced, not too soft, not too firm, and the upholstery feels durable without the “plasticky” feel some budget chairs have. The chair feels stable when reclining, and the motors are quiet, which always sets a good first impression for long-term use.
One of the first things I tested was the powered ottoman. I personally prefer powered ottomans because they don’t push against your shins or quads the way spring-loaded ottomans often do. If you’re like me and tend to fall asleep during massages, spring-loaded ottomans can jolt you awake or push into your legs. The Admiral II avoids all of that, and it makes a huge difference in comfort.
The L-Track is immediately noticeable as soon as the roller starts moving. It runs all the way from the neck down to the end of the glutes, and the spine conformity feels smooth with no “dead spots.” Space-saving recline helps keep it practical even in smaller rooms, and it fits users roughly in the 5'0"–6'2" range comfortably.
Massage Performance Deep Dive
Roller Mechanism: Smooth, Strong, and Adjustable
Once the body scan was completed, the quad-style 3D massage roller started right up, and I was pleasantly surprised by how natural it felt. The massage begins on the lighter side, but the chair gives you six intensity settings, which allow you to fine-tune how deep or light the massage feels. At max settings, it provides a legitimate deep-tissue experience, especially in the upper back and shoulder region.
What impressed me most was the roller consistency. From the top of my neck to the bottom of my glutes, the pressure remained smooth without sudden shifts. Is there a better 3D roller out there? Absolutely, but you’ll be paying considerably more. For this price point, the Admiral II delivers a very strong showing.
Track System — Long, Supportive L-Track Coverage
The Osaki OS-Pro Admiral II Massage Chair uses a true 49" L-Track that runs from the base of the neck all the way down to the glutes, giving you long-path coverage that feels smooth and consistent throughout the entire session. In my testing, the rollers maintained excellent contact along the spine with no dead zones or abrupt shifts in pressure. The extended glute coverage is especially noticeable if you carry tension in your hips or lower back. Overall, the L-Track design provides a dependable, full-back massage that works well for daily relief and long-term muscle maintenance.
Calf & Foot Massage
The calf massage uses airbags only, and while it’s not deep-tissue, it gives a pleasant rhythmic squeeze that feels relaxing and helps circulation. The airbags inflate higher up the calf than many chairs, and the rhythm is well-tuned rather than overly tight.
The foot rollers are the real highlight of the lower-leg section. They have a solid texture, provide gentle to medium reflexology pressure, and can be adjusted for speed and intensity. Combined with the calf compression, they create a well-rounded foot-and-calf experience.
Why the lower-leg system stands out:
- Even, relaxing calf compression
- Adjustable foot roller intensity
- Good rhythm and circulation benefits
- Smooth pairing with the L-Track back massage
Air Compression System
The air compression massage surprised me with how smooth and quiet it was. Airbags are located at the shoulders, arms, hands, waist, calves, and feet. Inside the armrests, there are small textured grips under the fabric that feel great when the airbags inflate—this detail helps keep your arms in position and adds to the massage sensation.
The compression is not overpowering, and with five adjustable intensity levels, it’s easy to find the right balance. One thing I appreciated was how quiet the compressor is compared to cheaper Amazon chairs that tend to pop and hiss loudly.
Heat Therapy
The heat therapy on the Osaki OS-Pro Admiral II is more effective than I expected for this price range. The lumbar heat warms the lower back evenly, helping the 3D rollers work deeper and making tight muscles soften up early in the session. What really surprised me, though, was the addition of calf heat. This is a feature many chairs skip, and it made a noticeable difference during leg-focused programs, especially when paired with the rhythmic calf compression. During testing, I found myself using heat almost every time because it helped my body relax faster and made the stretch and deep-tissue programs feel more effective overall.
Stretching Programs
The stretching programs on the Osaki OS-Pro Admiral II offer a gentle but effective way to loosen up the lower back, hips, and legs. When I tested them, the stretch sequence created just enough traction to relieve pressure without feeling too aggressive. The leg extension combined with shoulder and arm compression gave me a nice “opening up” sensation through the spine, especially after sitting at my desk for long periods.
While the stretch isn’t intense, it’s comfortably therapeutic, and I found myself using it almost every day because of how easy it was on my body. In fact, the Stretch program became my daily go-to—not because it pulled hard, but because it reliably left me feeling looser and more mobile afterward. For users looking for a relaxing, controlled stretch that complements the full-body massage programs, the Admiral II does a great job.
Ease of Use (Remote + Controls)
Menu System
The handheld LCD remote features a clear screen and simple navigation. The directional arrows make it easy to move through menus, access Zero Gravity, adjust the ottoman, and change program settings. I found it very intuitive, and I always appreciate when I can make adjustments quickly without breaking the flow of the session.
There are language options including English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, which may be helpful depending on your household. While it’s simple to use right away, I still recommend skimming the manual to really unlock everything this chair can do.
Real-World Ease of Use
Using the Admiral II daily felt effortless. Zero Gravity is available at a single button press, and you can independently adjust the backrest and ottoman, which I did frequently depending on the program. Powered ottoman adjustment is a huge plus—no pushing back, no spring-loaded resistance, just smooth and controlled movement.
Program switching is responsive, and all the primary adjustments (intensity, airbags, speed) are accessible without digging into deep menus. The chair feels designed for simplicity, which I appreciate on days when I just want to sit down and relax.
Programs + Personal Favorites
The Admiral II includes 16 automatic programs plus 6 local programs. I tested every single one for this review. “Text Neck” is great for targeted upper-body relief, “Mid Nap” is exactly what it sounds like, and I actually did catch myself drifting off during it. But again, Stretch was the one I kept going back to every day.
The local programs for shoulder & neck work are excellent after a stressful day, especially if you need more focus on knots or tight spots. Unlike many chairs where I ignore half the programs, I found myself using most of them, depending on what my body needed.
Additional Features
- Zero Gravity Recline: Elevates your legs to heart level and reduces pressure on the spine, dramatically improving back comfort and helping the 3D rollers work deeper.
- Bluetooth Speakers: Let you play music, podcasts, calming soundscapes, or guided meditation (if you can manage meditating during a massage—I personally find it tough!).
- USB Device Charging: Charge your phone or tablet while you relax—super convenient if you tend to use your device during longer programs.
- Powered Ottoman Adjustment: Lets you fine-tune the legrest angle smoothly without the uncomfortable pushback you get from spring-loaded ottomans.
- Independent Back & Leg Adjustments: Allows you to customize the recline and ottoman position separately for a perfectly tailored fit.
- 16 Auto Programs + 6 Local Programs: A surprisingly large library for this price point, and I genuinely found most of them worth using.
- Language Options: Choose from English, Japanese, Chinese, or Korean depending on your preference.
