The inversion stretch feature can help ease muscle tension and improve flexibility.
Automatic Body-Scanning Technology
When you sit in your Supreme Hybrid, the chair will scan your body and prepare you for a custom massage experience. This is important because everyone is built differently and an accurate body scan will bring more beneficial results.
Full-Body Airbag Compression Massage
The Supreme Hybrid features fifty built-in airbags to rhythmically inflate and deflate for advanced compression technology. The airbags will target and massage the arms, shoulders, waist, legs, and feet.
Extendable Leg Rest
The leg rest offers a heated holistic treatment that combines stretching, compression, and reflexology throughout the knees, calves, ankles, and feet.
The leg rest also includes a foot massager that provides reflexology to pressure points on the soles of the feet.
Bluetooth Speakers and Touch Screen Remote
The touch-display remote is easy to use, and you’ll also be able to access quick controls in a built-in console remote.
You have the ability to connect your smart device to the Bluetooth-compatible speakers and charge it during your massage session with the built-in USB port or the wireless charging port.
Space-Saver Design
You’ll only need two inches of wall clearance to set up your Supreme Hybrid massage chair in the fully reclined position. The base of the chair swivels as you recline which helps to save space.
Zero Gravity Operation
On your Supreme Hybrid, you’ll be able to slip into a horizontal position to distribute your weight evenly during your massage. Elevating your feet is also great for circulation and blood flow.
