The OS Pro Maxim is a technologically advanced massage chair that features a state of the art back roller system. In addition to L-Track rollers, the OS Pro Maxim boasts a plethora of other features.
Osaki only recently released this unit, so you can be sure it has all their latest technology. Let’s take a closer look at what it can do!
There’s a lot of cool things this chair can do, but I’m only gonna be focusing on the 10 key things. One thing you immediately notice with these higher end chairs is that you get a much more improved roller system in comparison to units that cost about $1500-2500.
In my earlier reviews of the OS 4000T & OS 1000, I spoke about how S-Track rollers are awesome because they trace or follow the spine’s natural “S” curvature.
A simple way to think about L-Track is that it’s a much longer, extended version of S-Track. L-Track rolls from the neck all the way right down to the glutes and hamstring, whereas S-Track rolls from the neck to the lower back. That being said, L-Track is S-Track but with a much larger track span!
And what is the roller track span you ask? 47 inches! That means the rollers will track a total of 47 inches from neck to hamstring. Pretty incredible considering most massage chairs can only track to about 31 inches!
The remote control to operate this chair is basically a touch screen tablet. I don’t know about you, but I think that’s pretty neat!
Osaki has supposedly revamped the user interface so it’s now easier to alter airbag intensity, roller speed, and select various programs. Everything is basically a lot more visual now than previously. Also, the interface tells you exactly what the chair is doing in live time.
I’ve always found Osaki remote controls to be simple and well laid out, so there wasn’t ever an issue to begin with.
The Osaki OS Pro Maxim has the ability to massage in zero gravity. What is the zero gravity position anyways?
It’s a seating position that’s been extensively researched by NASA.
But what’s so special about zero gravity anyways? What’s all the fuss about? Some of the benefits include:
The Osaki OS Pro Maxim features 2 rows of spinning foot rollers that perform a kneading style massage on the soles of the feet.
Foot rollers may seem small, insignificant and unnecessary, but let me tell you they are quite the opposite. Here’s a pro tip:
What I mean by this is think about getting a chair that’s an “all rounder”, not something that’s just great at back massage. When I bought my chair, I didn’t care too much about foot rollers. As much as I hate to admit, I now regret that decision. Don’t make the same mistake I did!
Most massage chairs require a minimum clearance (2-3 feet usually) behind the backrest to allow for the chair to fully recline. The OS Pro Maxim only requires a mere 6 inches of distance between the backrest and wall! How does this work?
If you’ve ever sat on a Dreamliner plane before, you’ll know exactly what I mean. The seats on those do the exact same thing!
This has got to be one of my favorite features of the Osaki OS Pro Maxim massage chair, and that’s because space is a rare commodity in my home! With this feature, I can now install and place the chair in my living room with the rest of my furniture. This isn’t something I can do with other units.
OS Pro Maxim comes with built in Bluetooth friendly speakers, so you can listen to your favorite tunes while getting a massage.
What I like to call “bells and whistles”. It’s the sort of feature that makes no difference as far as massage is concerned, but it’s definitely nice to have! Both speakers are surrounded and encased by blue LED lighting. Again, definitely cool and nice to have, but not something I would sweat over!
Imagine cycling through 12 programs. You’d need almost 2 weeks to try them all out!
But what exactly are these 12 programs anyways?
What mode do you think you’d use most? Leave it in the comments!
There’s 2 heating pads located on the right and left side of the lower back area.
You bet they are! Heat makes a massage that much more effective by improving circulation and releasing muscular tension. More importantly, it feels great!
With 12 auto modes, it’s hard to think you’d ever put this bad boy into manual mode! Should you decide to, you have 5 techniques to play around with:
You can also set the area of focus, roller speed, airbag intensity and more. Always nice to have the ability to make manual changes even with all the automated programs!
The Osaki OS Pro Maxim has quad rollers (4). These quad rollers are integral to the chair. They’re responsible for the kneading, rolling, tapping, and shiatsu strokes.
Don’t mean to sound like a broken record, but the rollers really determine how good or bad a chair is! I’ll repeat this in every review post if I have to!
Suggested user height range is 5’1-6’4. That’s basically a foot and 3 inches of variation! Not easy to find peeps. Also it’s one of the few chairs from Osaki that has a suggested user weight of 285 lbs. By the way, this isn’t something that affects me at all. I’m 5′-5 and weight about 120 lbs. I’m just glad to finally see a chair that fits some of the larger body frames out there!
What if I told you this is one of Osaki’s smallest unit in terms of height and width, would you believe me? It’s true, i’m not kidding. This unit measures 45” high, 31” wide, and 63” deep when fully upright. Yes, nothing too impressive about the depth, but Osaki have done an awesome job with the height and width. This, coupled with the earlier discussed space saving technology make the OS Pro Maxim a great choice for anyone who’s tight for space!
The OS Pro Maxim comes with a total of 22 airbags; that’s 16 fewer than the cheaper OS 4000T model. At first thought having more airbags may seem like a good thing, but that’s not quite true. More airbags means you need additional valves and larger sized pumps. All this does is hike up power consumption. Osaki have come up with a way to reduce the number of airbags while still maintaining massage surface area. The 22 bags in the OS Pro Maxim are equivalent in terms of covered surface area to a chair with 45 airbags. Impressive!
This is one thing you don’t get in Osaki’s cheaper models. Models such as the 4000T and 1000 can only do a “mid strength” massage. However, the OS Pro Maxim can do a “medium to strong” intensity massage. This is especially important for people who suffer from chronic pain who require a strong massage. Now it’s important to understand that strong doesn’t mean deep. This isn’t a chair capable of doing deep tissue massage. The intensity might be close, but definitely not the same as deep tissue.
Really anyone, but if you’re one of the 3 people below, then you should seriously consider this chair!
When it comes to big investments such as a massage chair, you need to make sure you find the best possible deal.
There’s only one way to find the best deal: do your homework! Get on the internet and start searching. Pick up the phone and call up local massage stores in your area. This is basically what I did when I bought my chair.

Why massage chair deals?
If you don’t live in the US, your best bet is:
If you’ve decided to buy the Osaki OS Pro Maxim massage chair, you should spend some time thinking about extended warranty.
In my opinion, it depends. If the price is $2000 and over, then definitely yes! It doesn’t make sense to spend $150-250 to cover a chair worth $1000-1200. However, it absolutely makes sense to spend this amount for a chair worth $2000 and up!
For this chair specifically, I would definitely suggest and recommend the extended warranty. You have the option to go with extended 4 year or 5 year. Pick whatever works for you!
Lastly, I strongly recommend you check out some of the product videos before buying. Below is one showing some of the features I’ve talked about (all credit to Massage Chair Deals).
