Osaki, Titan, & Apex are all managed and owned by the same folks. All 3 brands come out of the same plant in China, so you can expect similarities in quality and workmanship.
Also they’re releasing so many chairs that it’s sometimes hard for me to keep up! But that’s a good thing, because i’ll always have one more massage chair in my backlog to review. And that’s where we are today with the Titan Prime 3D massage chair! At first glance, i’m pretty impressed! 3D L-Track rollers, dedicated calf rollers, 6 auto modes, and an extendable foot rest. What’s not to love!?
Rollers, rollers, rollers! What’s all this talk in the massage chair world about rollers!? Why are rollers so important? Let’s understand this better, because it’s important.
It wouldn’t be far fetched to say that rollers are very much the “brain” of a massage chair. So that’s why all this spiel about rollers in all of my review posts!
Anyways back to the Titan Prime 3D rollers…..there’s 2 things to talk about here:
Auto massage programs are awesome because they require no preliminary setup or adjustment. You simply select the program you desire from the remote control and boom…..enter massage world!
These 6 modes vary from one another not only in terms of intensity and massage strength, but also in terms of massage stroke employed. Which one should you pick? One way to figure out the right mode for you is to go through all the 6 modes when you get the chair. Try them and then decide which ones you like and dislike!
When you run an auto massage routine, you can do so for a duration of either 15, 20, or 30 minutes at any given time.
An area that most massage chairs lack is that bottom half of the body. Most massage chairs are not very good at massaging the lower extremities of the body specifically beyond the waist and hips.
What most manufacturers do is they try to compensate this by adding a ton of airbags in these areas. I’ve found this design to not only be ineffective but also excruciatingly painful, as often times airbags will squeeze you to a pulp (even on low intensity settings).
It’s got dedicated calf and foot rollers which are specifically in place to massage the calves and feet. These are areas that the main rollers would not be able to reach (even with an extended track). Titan have also optimised their airbag design by reducing numbers of airbags and instead opting to increase surface area coverage. This is great because power consumption is drastically reduced!
Important Note: There’s not many massage chairs on the market that come equipped with calf rollers. In my opinion this is a massive advantage for the Titan Prime 3D!
I know this is something you’ll immediately disagree with, but reviewing massage chairs can be a painful affair! Often times when I’m testing a chair out, I feel the rollers digging into my neck and back. It is therapeutic and it does really work the kinks, but it’s still very painful and sometimes not necessary.
And that’s because it offers you a means to reduce the intensity if it becomes borderline unbearable! If the rollers are digging into your back, you really have 2 options:
There is a pad for the back, and 2 pads for the head and neck region. If massage is too intense, add a pad. If massage is lacking intensity, remove a pad. Pretty easy right? Takes some messing around with to figure out!
Small home owners are gonna love this! The Titan Prime 3D massage chair comes with space saving recline. This is a simple feature which allows you to save a lot of space from the wall.
How does space saving work? It’s pretty simple. As the chair reclines backwards, it slides forward on its base thereby saving some extra inches in the back. Not the most exciting of features, but it’s definitely worth having especially if you’re constrained for space.
For the sake of simplicity, we will be comparing the Prime 3D to 2 other 3D L-Track massage chairs. To give you a feel, we will do a comparison against the Osaki Pro Admiral and the Titan Pro Jupiter XL. Both are 2 fantastic 3D roller chairs you can currently find on the market!
A new release but already a genuine contender for “best 3D massage chair”. It’s got 16 auto modes for Pete’s sake! That’s enough auto modes to keep you busy for half the month!
The Pro Admiral and Pro Jupiter XL are definitely better in some areas than the Prime 3D. This is especially true when it comes to user flexibility and auto modes. The Pro Admiral is a beast when it comes to auto modes!
However, there are also areas where the Prime 3D is superior than the other 2 chairs. For one, the calf rollers which both other chairs lack, and two and most importantly the price!
All things considered what chair should you buy? In terms of functionality, you’ve gotta decide what’s important to you. If auto modes and user flexibility is of utmost importance, go with the Pro Admiral or Pro Jupiter XL. If you’re on a tight budget and want a chair that’s incredibly cost effective, then go with the Prime 3D.
Whichever way you go, all 3 are fantastic chairs!
There’s no black and white answer to this unfortunately. With buying in store you can actually try the chair out, see how it feels on your body, and then decide before making the purchase. You don’t have this flexibility when you buy online.
However, online has a ton more selection of chairs (some chairs are online exclusive) and you can usually score better deals. With the whole COVID-19 situation, offline or in-store is no longer an option for most people. I will say this:
Do as much research as you need, and take time before making your mind up. The more research you do, the more likely you are to find the best possible deal that’s out there. That’s honestly the most important thing you should takeaway from this post. Don’t make decisions out of haste!
All that being said, I wish you luck in your quest to finding a massage chair. If you have any questions about the Prime 3D or any massage chair, please do not hesitate to leave a comment below. If you already own a massage chair, write to me and tell me about your experience with it! You can write to me at support@massagersandmore.com.
Lastly, if you enjoyed reading this post be sure to share it on the social platforms. This helps us massively! Thanks again and we’ll see you in the next one. Be safe, be well, but most of all be happy!
