The 3D Pro Dreamer is one of Osaki’s high end massage chairs. The biggest thing that distinguishes this chair from the rest is 3D roller technology (more on this later!). 3D rollers allow this chair to deliver a strong, deep tissue massage. On a scale of 1-10, 1 being mild and 10 being deep tissue intense, the 3D Pro Dreamer can do anything from a 7-10.
That being said, it’s the perfect chair for anyone looking to do deep tissue work!
Many of the features we discuss here are similar to most mid and even entry level Osaki chairs. These include features such as zero gravity, computerized scanning, and lumbar heating for example.
When it comes to massage chairs, always remember the difference is in the details!
This is the one feature that distinguishes the 3D Pro Dreamer from all mid end chairs, so it’s only fair we discuss it in detail.
Simply said, 3D massage technology is the ability of rollers to protrude or extend outwards. Visualizing this can be a little tricky if you’ve never seen or used a 3D chair before. The image below illustrates the concept.
Looking at the image above, you see that the rollers move in 3 dimensions or 3 different axis:
The one thing that differentiates 3D from 2D is the “in and out motion” listed as dimension 3 above. 2D rollers will simply move side to side, and up and down. In other words, you don’t have the option to adjust roller protrusion. Roller protrusion for the Osaki 3D Pro Dreamer can be adjusted to 6 different settings.
In a nutshell, this is what 3D technology is all about. Pretty simple when you break it down by looking at what actually happens in each dimension!
Since most of you have probably never heard of “S-Track” before, let’s very quickly touch on the concept.
Contrary to popular belief, your spine is not completely straight. Believe it or not, a healthy spine is actually “S” shaped. Of course it’s not shaped exactly like an “S”, cause if that were the case we would all look really weird. It’s an exaggerated “S” if you will!
S-Track is a technology where rollers trace the spines natural “S” curvature. This essentially makes back and neck massage a lot more relaxing and effective!
Osaki 3D Pro Dreamer has twin quad S-Track rollers that track a total of 31” from the neck all the way right down to the tailbone.
2nd gen S-Track is an improvement to Osaki’s 1st gen S-Track roller system. 2nd gen S-Track is tweaked to provide a tighter fit to the human spine. In a sense, it’s a lot more contoured than 1st gen.
Osaki OS 3D Pro Dreamer has 48 airbags strategically placed in regions where the rollers can’t reach. These include the following areas: arms, calves, neck, shoulders, lower back, glutes, hips, and the sides of the feet. The picture below shows exact placement.
Airbags are simply pouches that inflate with compressed air. An inflated airbag squishes down on surrounding muscle and tissue thereby providing a compression type massage.
In my opinion, not necessarily. If you enjoy compression style massage, then considering a chair with plenty of airbags is worthwhile. However, I think you should always strive to find a good balance, that is find a chair that’s versatile and great at multiple techniques, not just one!
51 is the most number of airbags I’ve ever seen in an Osaki chair (OS 7200H). With only 3 airbags less, the 3D Pro Dreamer isn’t far behind at all!
Osaki 3D Pro Dreamer comes with 8 preset automatic massage modes:
Zero gravity is a feature that’s so common in massage chairs today.
It’s a reclined seating position where your torso to leg angle is approximately 128 degrees. In this position, your feet will be elevated relative to your heart. There’s a plethora of benefits to sitting in a zero gravity position. These include reduced spinal tension, expanded lung capacity, and increased circulation.
The Osaki 3D Pro Dreamer features 2 stages, or 2 zero gravity recline positions. Stage 1 is normal zero gravity, and stage 2 is reclined even further back.
As mentioned previously, body scan on a 3D chair is a lot more comprehensive than on a 2D chair.
The Osaki OS 3D Pro Dreamer massage chair comes equipped with a 3D point navigation system whose job it is to scan and map your entire back. Upon completion of the scan, the 3D rollers will be able to perform a customized massage based on spine curvature, user height, and other scan based parameters.
I couldn’t care much for built in speakers and LED lighting, but I know a lot of people take that stuff pretty seriously.
Osaki 3D Pro Dreamer comes with built in speakers that are mounted along the side of the backrest. To play music, simply connect your smartphone via aux cable into the jack.
This chair also features what Osaki likes to call chromotherapy LED lighting. Really, it’s just blue LED lighting on the side panels!
And there’s also 2 heating pads in the lower back area of the chair. This is nice, but I prefer having heat applied a little higher up on the back. Heat can be turned on/off as required.
Most people look at this chair and they only focus on the 3D rollers. It’s great that they do because make no mistake, 3D rollers are what sets it apart. However, with 48 airbags it’s also an awesome compression chair. When I review a massage chair, I look for balance. A good chair is one that is balanced in all areas (compression, rolling, kneading etc.) not just one. The Osaki 3D Pro Dreamer is a great example of this!
Innovation is everyone’s favorite: “show us the next big thing such as space saving, zero gravity, or 3D technology and we’re sold!”. Continuous improvement excites me a lot more than new fancy shmancy features (these are nice too, don’t get me wrong!). That being said, it pleases me to see Osaki have improved their S-Track technology. 2nd gen S-Track is much more tighter and contoured than it’s predecessor!
If like me you enjoy deep tissue massage, you’re gonna love 3D rollers. My own chair (which isn’t an Osaki) has 3D rollers and boy are they awesome! You can immediately tell the difference between 2D & 3D. 3D feels a lot closer to a human massage whereas 2D was still a little lacking. On the flipside you do get a longer track span with 2D, so there’s a trade off for sure.
Not something that impacts me, but worth pointing out either way. User flexibility is very important for massage chairs, and not all chairs can accommodate larger frames. This is an exception!
We’ve already touched on some of this previously, but let’s quickly look at the key differences between 2D & 3D rollers.
The biggest difference between 2D & 3D rollers is that 3D rollers can protrude inward and outward. This entire dimension is what differentiates both roller types.
If you were to visualize this in action, think of rollers protruding out and pushing up against your back, or retracting inward such that there’s less contact with your back.
Because of their ability to protrude outward, 3D rollers can achieve a much stronger and deeper massage intensity compared to 2D rollers. 2D rollers are restrictive in that they only move up or down and side to side.
Because it’s still a fairly new technology, expect to pay top dollar for a 3D chair. You’re looking at anything from $3.5K upwards. Tough to find a chair that’s even in the $3000 range to be quite honest. 2D chairs in comparison are much cheaper generally speaking.
If you were to scour the market, you’d find a heck of a lot more 2D chairs than you would 3D. At this moment in time, 3D is a relatively new technology so most manufacturers only have a couple units in their product lineup that feature 3D rollers.
2D chairs typically have a much larger track span compared to 3D chairs. It’s not uncommon to find 2D chairs with rollers that traverse 47” or even 53” for that matter. On the contrary, don’t expect to find this in a 3D chair just yet. 31” track spans seem to be the current range for 3D chairs at the moment. However, maybe this will change in the not so distant future!
First and foremost, many of the differences noted above are based solely on my experience with different massage chairs. Secondly, things can and will change as manufacturers continue to release new chairs. For example, maybe in about a year 3D chairs will have extended track spans that traverse 50”.
I honestly don’t know what’s in store for the next couple years, but I do know these are the differences between 2D & 3D at the present time!
