With an A+ rating by BBB Accredited Business, Easy Massage Chair has been helping educate people and guiding them to find the right massage chairs that best fit their needs, budget and other factors for decision-making. One of the most frequently asked questions we get is "what's the difference between 2D, 3D and 4D massage chairs?." Let's find out the answer!
Differences & Similarities between 2D, 3D and 4D Massage Chairs
Few weeks ago, we visited Osaki/Titan's headquarters and spoke with their representative, Rachel. We asked her the same question and fortunately, she gave us a comprehensive yet enlightening answer. When you are shopping for chairs and looking at different price points, you're wondering what are the differences and how do they affect the overall massage experience.
2D Massage Rollers
Think about an X and Y axis. In 2D, the rollers move up and down and side-to-side. The way you adjust the speed in a 2D massage chair is through adjusting the intensity. This is done by increasing the speed at which the rollers are moving. This is a feature that can be found on all of the common 2D massage chair controllers. So you increase the speed, you increase the sensation of intensity.
3D Massage Rollers
In 3D massage chairs, the rollers move up and down side to side and in and out. So basically, it's just like a human masseuse who is able to push more deeply into muscle tissue. The rollers on a 3d massage chair are capable of mimicking that feeling and pushing more deeply into the muscle tissue for a more enhanced deep tissue experience.
4D Massage Rollers
In 4d massage chairs, the rollers move up and down side to side in and out and the individual roller heads speed can actually vary a little. So when you're receiving a massage from an actual masseuse and they hit a knot in your body, they don't just keep moving at the same speed because that hurts. In a 4d chair, the chair can actually adjust the speed of the rotation around a knot, mimicking a more human-like massage experience.
