Product Description
QUICK PRODUCT FEATURES
- L-Track 50″ Extended Rollers: Most massage chairs have rollers that massage the entire back and depend on airbag technology to massage underneath the lower back. The AP-Pro Ultra not only uses rollers to massage the entire back and neck, but extends into the seat to knead your glutes, hips/thighs and the top of your hamstrings
- 3-Stage Zero Gravity: The AP-Pro Ultra positions the legs above the heart and evenly distributes your weight. The NASA-inspired technology relieves pressure on the spine, relaxes the neck and back, increases circulation and blood oxygen levels, and expands lung capacity. Most chairs are equipped with only one or two stages of Zero Gravity, but with the AP-Pro Ultra, you’re able to recline further back to increase the effectiveness of the massage
- Customized Body Scan: Prior to any auto or manual program, the chair’s rollers will scan your entire body to map the curvature of your spine, customizing the chair exclusively for your body frame
- Lower Back Heating Function: Lumbar heat therapy provides relief to those suffering from lower back pain by increasing the oxygen flow to help heal damaged tissue. Heat therapy also forces your lower back to press more firmly against the backrest for a stronger and deeper massage. The AP-Pro Ultra is equipped with two heating pads in the lumbar region
- Dual Foot Rollers: The AP-Pro Ultra includes two (2) mechanical rollers that knead the bottoms of your feet using reflexology technology. It’s effective in soothing sore and tired feet
- Mechanical Calf Rollers: Most massage chairs that feature foot rollers are only designed with airbags that inflate around your calves, however, the AP-Pro Ultra has fully functional, strong calf rollers on the top of each calf in addition to airbags that line the sides of the calves. When combined with the foot rollers, your legs and feet will never feel the same again
- 30 Airbags: The massage track extends from the base of your skull all the way to inside the seat using “L” track massage technology. The rest of the massage chair uses airbag technology to massage your outer shoulders, arms/hands, hips, calves, feet and inside the seat. There are three airbag intensity options available, from mild to strong
- MP3 Music System: Simply plug in your smartphone or music player using the chair’s auxiliary cord and sit back as your favorite music plays while you enjoy your massage
- Hip/Twist Sway Function: In addition to the rollers, airbags deploy in the waist region to sway your hips from side to side for a rejuvenating stretch-like massage
- Auto Leg Scan: The AP-Pro Ultra will measure the length of your legs when the massage chair powers on. The ottoman will extend to its furthest position for taller users and stop as soon as the sensor hits your feet
- Space Saving Recline: With the AP-Pro Ultra’s wall-hugging recline, you can safely place the chair within 4 inches of the nearest wall
- Foolproof Remote Control: The AP-Pro Ultra is equipped with an easy-to-use LCD remote control. Choose any auto programs or any manual function with ease
- No Assembly Required: Simply place the AP-Pro Ultra where you want the chair in your home and office, tear off the box and get your massage started within minutes. No assembly required!

The foot air is too strong and not adjustable enough. I wish the width of the rollers had more adjustments, only 3. Other than that, it's great and a good value.

My wife and I tried out a NovoXT Human Touch massage chair at Costco last Christmas. I was so impressed with the deep massage and zero gravity function that I almost purchased the chair that day. My wife was the most impressed though, because we finally found something that actually relieved me from the many pains I deal with regularly. I researched chairs on YouTube and read reviews and features for multiple massage chairs. I chose the Apex Ulra because it has the longest L track I could find and seemed to have the highest ratings for giving a deep massage and stretch. It arrived fully assembled ready to go. My wife and I love it, and we’re so glad we didn’t spend over $7,000.00 on the chair at Costco. My wife is more sensitive to the foot and calve massagers, so she places an oven pad over the roller to make it less intense. The 3.5 mm headphone jack for the chair speakers works great with my iPhone. I was very pleased with the knowledge and help I received from customer service at massagechairdeals.com

This is an awesome chair. Very solid massage rollers and goes deep down into the gluts area. I was surprised with the foot n calf rollers being as well! You must not be to over weight. It is slimmer than most and I am bigger guy 5.11' @ 250lbs and it is a snug fit for me. And I should drop 50lbs.
I would give it a max rating, but the instruction pamphlet is weak. It doesn't hinder you from learning from the remote, just could use more proper English and we are more a custom to more explanations of functions.
Great chair for price and highly recommend. Super space safer too!!!

The chair was everything I was looking. L Track, heat feature, 3 stages of zero gravity. True it meant for a regular sized person, it fits perfectly. Very tall or large people should not order this model. I often am sound asleep at the end of the massage. I highly recommend the chair. The massagechairdeals.com company were professional and quick, zero problems. The foot massage is a little aggressive so I wear a flip flop to cushion it and that works fine.

The Apex Ultra is a Titan-made chair, appears to be made completely in China and even comes complete with a very limited user manual that was clearly google-translated into English and not proof-read, With that said, the chair itself is excellent and is definitely more on the "firm / intense" side of the massage chair spectrum.
I'm comparing primarily to the Osaki 4000 (rebranded Cozzia) which I demo'd in a store that started this process... the Apex is more full-featured at less price and at the end of the day a better buy.
The chair arrives fully assembled, and has rollers for moving but you WILL need 2 people to balance and move it around safely. The foot rollers are INTENSE - there's no ifs or but's about it. Everything else from the calves, hips, L-track and forearm/hand airbags are all moderate in intensity, but the upper neck/cervical area has an optional flip-down pad that can make it mild (I leave it off).
I am a 6'2" man, 240 pounds, size 38 waist and I fit snugly (comfortably) in the chair, and the lower foot of the chair extends where I don't feel cramped. As far as particulars of the chair, outside of the normal stuff you can see on any advertisement there is a heating function on the calves and back, there are 4 auto programs at ~15-20 min long, there is a fifth "stretch" program that has its own button and you can adjust intensity, speed, or target a spot or region with relatively easy to use buttons on the remote. You can also specify shiatsu, kneeding, or two other massage types I can't recall at the moment. The L-track design is NICE! Getting your bum massaged was odd at first but is great when tied into your lower back in combination with the adjustable shoulder airbags to keep you in place, etc. Oh, and it has three zero-gravity settings, an Audio cable for the speakers and is rather compact from a floor space standpoint.
I do like the simple remote (vs the huge stand on the Osaki) but it does take a little getting used to. Again the instruction manual is practically worthless, but I enjoyed experimenting with the different programs to see what each one does.
Overall my wife and I are very happy with the chair, but the real test will be with long-term durability. The only cons I have with this chair are the limited instructions on the various auto programs, and I feel that the foot roller intensity is probably too great for 90% of the population - but that's solved by wearing thicker socks.
The pros:
Good looking chair
Simple remote (the Osaki/Cozzia was ridiculously complex)
The foot/calf rollers were intense, but great
L-track at this pricepoint is fantastic
3 "zero-G" settings for various recline
Relatively cheap for the features

I bought this chair in mid-October after researching it for a couple weeks. Before buying it I had no idea what the difference between an S-track and an L-track chair was, so I talked to MCD rep Mike and he kindly explained what the difference was. I immediately knew I wanted an L-track chair after that conversation because I wanted a chair that had physical rollers in the seat of the chair. I wasn't sure that air bags in the seat was going to be sufficient enough, so Mike narrowed down my options to two chairs within my budget: either this chair or the Titan TP-8400. I have a small frame (5'7, 145 lbs) so he suggested I choose this one over the Titan model because this one offered several extra features and because this model is designed for smaller frames, so I decided to pull the trigger after doing more researching and sleeping on it for a few more nights. The chair arrived to my home about a week after purchasing and it has been a big hit with my kids and husband. The rollers are pretty deep but that's precisely what I was looking for. The rollers in the calf and the bottom on the feet are pure bliss and are a welcome feature. It's worth pointing out to others that we also have limited space in the bedroom I wanted to place it in and I was concerned that the chair would be too tight or wouldn't fit at all in there, but Mike reassured me that it's the smallest chair they carry and that I wouldn't have to worry about it. It fits seamlessly next to my bed with a lot of room to spare! As the other reviewer mentioned as well assembly was mostly done and it took about 10-15 minutes in total to carry it in and unbox it. Great buy!

The Apex Ultra was not even on my radar when I was looking at massage chairs.... I really wanted the Infinity Iyashi as I tried it out at a friend's home and was amazed by it. I thought rollers in the seat was a standard massage chair feature but learned that only a select few have this new feature. While I enjoyed the massage and wanted the chair I was not ready to dish out $5300 for the Iyashi so an employee of this site suggested this chair while talking to her in a chat.
She actually also said this chair used to retail for over $4000 as well before the chair's distributor dropped the price of it, so it was an even bigger bargain. After she said that I researched the chair and was pleasantly surprised that it has very similar specs as a chair almost double its price. The chair itself even has a longer massage track than Iyashi. One thing that I would note is that this chair as a VERY intense neck, shoulder, calf and foot roller massage -- so intense that I was considering returning it after my first time but my body got used to it after a few sittings and now I quite enjoy the massages in those areas.
Assembly was very easy to do. Everything was set up you just have to put on the foot portion. The wife and I are happy with the purchase.
