What's New at ChairMentor

Every new review, guide and verified specification change, in date order. This log is generated from our content database rather than written by hand, so it reflects what actually changed.

We add a chair to the site only after every core specification carries a citation and a verification date. That is why new models sometimes appear here months after their launch announcement: a press release is not a specification sheet, and we will not publish numbers we cannot point at.

Specification corrections matter as much as new models. When a manufacturer quietly changes a published dimension, weight limit or warranty term, the change is logged here and on the affected review.

  • Best-of guideBest Massage Chairs for Post-Workout Recovery

  • Best-of guideBest Massage Chairs for Short People

    Removed the Human Touch Super Novo 2.0: no user height range could be sourced for it.

  • Best-of guideBest Massage Chairs for Short People

    Added the documented-minimum-height requirement to the guide's eligibility rules; wording now scopes the Luraco claim to chairs we publish.

  • Best-of guideBest Massage Chairs for Small Spaces

    Editorial correction: fixed wall-clearance figures that did not match the verified records and replaced the Maestro (5-inch clearance) with the Daiwa Hubble (0-inch).

  • Best-of guideBest Massage Chairs for Tall People

    Rebuilt the ranking on documented maximum user height only, highest first. Removed the Osaki OS-Pro Maestro (no published height range) and added the Luraco i9 Max Plus and Kyota Yutaka M898.

  • Best-of guideBest Massage Chairs of 2026

    Editorial correction: removed 'lowest price' and 'longest warranty' claims that tie with or trail other verified chairs.

  • Best-of guideBest Massage Chairs Under $2,000

    Added the $2,000 budget ceiling to the guide's eligibility rules; clarified that two picks tie on lowest recorded price.

  • Best-of guideBest Massage Chairs Under $3,000

    Removed the Osaki OS-4000XT: its recorded price ($4,799) is above this guide's $3,000 ceiling. Added the Titan Pro-Vigor 4D ($2,999 recorded).

  • Best-of guideBest Massage Chairs Under $5,000

    Re-checked every pick's listed price and stock status at the seller pages; recorded prices unchanged. Editorial correction: removed 'cheapest 4D' and 'widest range' claims that were no longer accurate, and added the Titan Pro-Vigor 4D.

  • Best-of guideBest Massage Chairs with Heat Therapy

    Editorial correction: replaced the Maestro, Luminary and Super Novo picks. Their verified records list only one heated zone each, so the previous heat-coverage descriptions were wrong.

  • Best-of guideBest Osaki Massage Chairs

    Editorial correction: re-labelled the Maestro pick; 'best for taller users' was not supported because we have not verified a model-specific height range for it.

  • Best-of guideBest Zero Gravity Massage Chairs

    Picks now require a verified zero-gravity count. Removed the OS-Pro Maestro 4D and Infinity Genesis Max, whose three-stage figures had no dated source; added the Kyota Yutaka M898, OS-Ai Vera 4D+ and 3D Dreamer V2, which do.

  • Best-of guideBest Zero Gravity Massage Chairs

    Editorial correction: replaced a 'most recline stages' label; several picks list three stages.

  • ReviewCozzia Qi SE

    Replaced a placeholder retailer link with the manufacturer page.

  • ReviewCozzia Qi XE Pro

    Re-checked against Cozzia's current CZ-716 product page: added the published 53-inch L-track, corrected chair weight to the 258.9 lb net figure (was 276 lb), noted the 300 lb generic-FAQ discrepancy and that the chair is sold through dealers at its $12,849 list price.

  • ReviewDaiwa Hubble

    Replaced a placeholder retailer link with the manufacturer page.

  • ReviewDaiwa Legacy 4

    Replaced a placeholder retailer link with the manufacturer page.

  • GuideFoot Rollers and Calf Kneading: What the Footwell Actually Does

    Editorial correction: removed the Super Novo 2.0 from a calf-roller statement; Human Touch documents a heated calf massager but not its mechanism.

  • GuideHow to Move a Massage Chair: Across the Room or Across the Country

    Editorial update: added a planning checklist, a table of published chair weights and dimensions, and a labelled schematic; replaced a generic weight range with the range from our published data.

  • ReviewHuman Touch Certus

    Retailer disclosure: the only checked seller (Discount Massage Chairs) lists factory-renewed Certus chairs under its own 2-year resale limited warranty, sold out in all colours at $8,999. That price is labelled renewed/resale and is not presented as a new-chair offer under Human Touch's 5/3/1 warranty. Human Touch's warranty page separates factory-renewed coverage from the new-chair 5/3/1 terms; we do not state a precise renewed coverage promise.

  • ReviewHuman Touch Certus

    Replaced the representative stand-in photo with the cover photo from Human Touch's official Certus brochure. Removed 'no Bluetooth/app' entries that had been inferred from the brochure's silence, and stopped showing unsourced track length, airbag, zero-gravity and height figures. Rechecked the authorized retailer: $8,999, sold out in all colours. Humantouch.com has no current Certus page.

  • ReviewHuman Touch Certus

    Wall clearance changed from 0 in (older brochure) to 2 in behind / 5 in in front, per Human Touch's current Certus support article; the conflict is disclosed. Warranty now cited to Human Touch's consumer warranties page (5 structural / 3 parts / 1 labor). Human Touch's doorway article lists 28.5 in for the Certus without stating the transport configuration. The linked Use & Care manual PDF returned 404 for us. Our earlier note that humantouch.com has no Certus page only means we could not load one.

  • ReviewHuman Touch Certus

    Editorial correction to comparison text: the Super Novo 2.0 also has a convertible S/L track and the same standard 5/3/1 warranty tiers. Certus specifications were not re-verified.

  • ReviewHuman Touch Super Novo 2.0

    Correction from the current Human Touch product page, comparison chart, manual and consumer warranty page: track is S- and L-track (not S-only); heat covers feet, calves and dual lumbar; dimensions, 313 lb chair weight, 5/3/1 warranty tiers and $10,999 price updated. Removed an unsupported 44-inch track, a 38-airbag count (38 is the auto-program count) and a height range we could not source.

  • ReviewInfinity Circadian 4D DualFlex

    Replaced a placeholder retailer link with the manufacturer page.

  • ReviewInfinity Genesis Max

    Editorial correction: removed a 'widest height range' claim (the Luraco i9 Max Plus publishes a wider range).

  • ReviewInfinity Luminary

    Editorial correction: the fit range is no longer described as the narrowest we publish (the Ogawa Master Drive AI 2.0 range is narrower). Specifications were not re-verified.

  • ReviewInfinity Luminary

    Editorial correction: removed 'longest warranty' and 'highest capacity' claims (other verified chairs tie or exceed them); corrected the image description.

  • ReviewKyota Yutaka M898

    Editorial correction: replaced a placeholder retailer link with the manufacturer page; corrected the image description.

  • ReviewLuraco i9 Max Plus

    Editorial correction: removed 'longest warranty' and 'highest price' claims; replaced a placeholder retailer link with the manufacturer page; corrected the image description.

  • GuideMassage Chairs for Athletes and Post-Workout Recovery

    Editorial correction: removed the Super Novo 2.0 from a calf-roller statement; Human Touch documents a heated calf massager but not its mechanism.

  • ReviewOgawa 4D Fusion Master Drive

    Editorial correction: removed a 'widest heat coverage' claim; replaced a placeholder retailer link with the manufacturer page.

  • ReviewOgawa Master Drive AI 2.0

    Editorial correction: removed a 'highest capacity' claim (the Osaki Solis Duo publishes 330 lb); corrected the image description, which wrongly called the official Ogawa photo representative.

  • ReviewOsaki 3D Dreamer V2

    Editorial correction: clarified that its warranty term is shared with Osaki's other budget chairs.

  • ReviewOsaki 3D Dreamer V2

    Re-checked the listed price at the seller page(s); listed price unchanged. Specifications were not re-verified in this check.

  • ReviewOsaki OS-3D Ai Vito

The spec table header shows different figures (4D, 24 programs, 26 cells, 6.5-inch footrest) — flagged, product page used.

  • ReviewOsaki OS-3D Ai Vito

    Zero-gravity stages set to 2 from Osaki's product page (stage one / stage two captions and FAQ), replacing an unsourced 1. Hero photo switched to Osaki's official black-finish image.

  • ReviewOsaki OS-4000XT

    Editorial correction: removed 'cheapest Osaki' wording (the OS-Champ and 3D models now cost less).

  • ReviewOsaki OS-4000XT

    Re-checked the listed price at the seller page(s); listed price unchanged. Specifications were not re-verified in this check.

  • ReviewOsaki OS-Ai Vera 4D+

  • ReviewOsaki Platinum Solis Duo 4D+

    Editorial correction: removed a 'most expensive Osaki' claim (the Ai Vivo is listed higher).

  • GuideOsaki vs the Competition: How the Brand Compares

  • ReviewTitan Jupiter LE Premium

    Warranty corrected to the Osaki-Titan product page terms (1 year parts and labor; parts only in years 2 and 3). Osaki-Titan listed $1,999 but showed the chair sold out; MassageChairs.com listed $3,799 and in stock.
