Titan 3D Pro Prestige Massage Chair Review 2024

Are you tired of suffering from chronic back, and calf and foot pain? If so, and if you’re currently in the habit of alleviating that pain by regularly visiting your local chiropractor, you’ll like what you read in this—our Titan 3D Pro Prestige massage chair review.

Titan is the largest massage chair company in the US and a subsidiary of Osaki, one of the biggest names in the global massage chair industry. Like most companies, some of the Titan products they release are better than others. Titan Massage Chair has some smash hits and the occasional dud.

The Titan 3D Prestige is about in the middle. It’s not a dud, but its bleeding-edge features won’t blow you away. However, its design incorporates some modern and honestly impressive tech.

Here’s the thing, though:

Bleeding-edge massage chair designs are atrociously expensive, and in practice, the only people who buy them with regularity are the ones with big, heaping piles of spare cash. If that describes you, you’re almost certainly not going to find anything in this model that will impress you.

On the other hand, if you’re like most of the rest of us mortals and you’re in the market for a good massage chair priced in the midrange and sporting features designed to relieve your chronic pain and make you feel better and more relaxed, we think you’ll find a lot to like in the Pro Prestige. 

In the following sections, we’ll outline everything this model can do for you and highlight the chair’s limitations. We think you’ll be pretty impressed by the time we finish, even if you ultimately decide this model isn’t right for you.

If your interest is piqued, read on, and let’s look closer.

Key Features of Titan 3D Pro Prestige Massage Chair

The first thing to point out about this design is among the most obvious. It looks about like you’d expect a massage chair to look, which is to say, vaguely egg-shaped with a futuristic aesthetic. Even at a glance, it’s obvious that this thing is a massage chair.

That’s not bad, but it’s fair to say that most massage chairs, including this one, won’t win any beauty contests.

On the other hand, most people get that. If you’re suffering from chronic back, calf, or foot pain, the odds are good that you’re a lot more interested in finding a reliable way to alleviate that pain than you are worrying about what the solution looks like.

Sure, aesthetics matter, but functionality usually matters more. If that describes your view, then you won’t have an issue with the aesthetic of the Pro Prestige.

Having said that, aesthetics aren’t completely unimportant either. If you’re looking for a massage chair that looks like a conventional recliner when you’re not using it, you’ll be pleased to know that some companies make chairs like that. 

Unfortunately, this isn’t the chair you’re looking for, and Titan isn’t the company. What you probably want is a chair from a company called Human Touch.

If you don’t mind the chair’s look, you’ll be happy to learn that you can get this model in taupe, brown, or black. Color options aren’t widely available in massage chairs, but we’re pleased to find a few options here. 

The three color choices Titan offers on this model make it easy to match the chair with your prevailing color scheme, and that’s good.

Moving beyond simple aesthetics, it’s worth mentioning that this is a sizeable piece of furniture, measuring 29.9” W x 61.4” L (72.4” L when fully reclined) x 47.2” H and weighing a hefty 210.6 pounds.

That’s probably bigger than most people can manhandle on their own, so if you didn’t order yours with White Glove service, you’d most likely want a trusty assistant standing by on the day the chair arrives.

Speaking of White Glove service, we don’t recommend it. 

The chair does not require much assembly (essentially, hooking up a couple of hoses and attaching the leg massage ports). In our view, it’s not really worth paying someone a hefty premium for ten minutes of work, but everyone’s needs are different, and if you just don’t want to bother with it, know that White Glove service is an option.

Even though this is a sizeable piece of furniture, it should be noted that the Pro Prestige is built using space-saving technology, so you’ll only need about 1” of clearance between the seatback and whatever wall you decide to place the chair near. That’s huge and does make finding a permanent home for the chair easier.

All of that is interesting, but none speaks to the quality of the massage you can get out of this chair, so it’s time to move beyond the basics and take a closer look at the core technologies that drive and define this model.

Mix of Older and Newer Technologies

We consider this an above-average but not an outstanding component of our Titan 3D Pro Prestige massage chair review.

The design team of the Prestige Pro made some interesting decisions regarding what specific technologies to incorporate into the chair. Some new technology mingled with some slightly dated tech. The result is a capable chair, but the mix of older and newer technologies may be off-putting to some.

Sometimes, it won’t matter and isn’t particularly notable to the end user. For example, this model sports Bluetooth speakers. That tech has been around for a while, and most massage chair companies offer it as a standard feature.

The same can be said for Titan’s body scanning technology. Each time you sit in the chair, it quietly scans your body and adjusts the positions of the rollers so they always hit your pressure points precisely, resulting in a better massage. That technology has been incrementally updated but hasn’t changed since the company began using it.

On the other hand, many companies have abandoned remote-controlled chairs for chairs run via touchpads, which are larger and offer better visibility and the ability to display more detailed information.

The companies that haven’t yet moved to touchpad displays typically use wireless remotes with LCD screens. Here, you’ll find a wired remote. It does just as good a job at allowing you to control the basic functions of the chair that a wireless remote would do, but ask yourself, when was the last time you saw a television controlled by a wired remote? Were you even alive when they still offered those?

It’s not awful. It’s just…somewhat jarring.

In addition to these things, Titan places a generously sized 52” SL massage track that starts at your neck/upper shoulders and travels down the length of the seatback before turning and continuing under the seat itself. This enables it to render a fantastic massage of your glutes and the backs of your thighs.

While it is possible to find a massage chair with an even longer track, 52” is pretty impressive. It makes the chair capable of delivering a world-class massage to anyone ranging in height from 5’ to about 6’3” and can support users weighing up to 260 pounds.

Honestly, we’re a bit underwhelmed by the supported weight limit. While there’s no formal standard, most of the chairs on the market today can support up to 300 pounds, with some models able to support substantially more. 

The Prestige Pro doesn’t measure up in that regard, but this fact will be immaterial if you weigh less. Of course, it will be a complete deal breaker if you weigh more, so it’s something to keep in mind as you evaluate your options.

The final thing to mention before we leave this section is ending on a high note. The Titan Pro Prestige pairs 3D quad rollers with its massage track, the current informal industry standard. 

Quad rollers do an admirable job of mimicking the feel of human hands. The fact that the track is 3D means that the rollers can move along the X-, Y-, and Z-axis, which both improves the overall quality of the massage you can get from the chair and gives the designers more customization options, which we’ll talk about in the next section!

Fantastic Mix of Massage Options

This section covers a lot; we consider it a very strong component of our Titan 3D Pro Prestige massage chair review.

This chair offers six different massage techniques, which are average to slightly above average. These are:

The first four are basic massage techniques similar to those found on most massage chairs today. They feel good, but they are nothing truly special.

On the other hand, the last two are advanced massage techniques, and both are exceptional. While Shiatsu is quite common on most of the “good” massage chairs on the market today, Swedish is notoriously hard to find, and as such, we’re thrilled to see it offered here.

You can order a massage rendered with any of the techniques above. It will default to a fifteen-minute duration. Just push the button, recline back, and close your eyes. It’s as simple as that.

Or, if you want something a bit more complex, you can choose from any of the following pre-programmed massage routines:

These are all remarkably varied, with the “Relax” and “Sleeping” options being on the gentle end of the scale and the Thai stretching routine being quite aggressive and similar to the chiropractic adjustment you get when you visit your friendly neighborhood chiropractor.

Thai stretching is the first or second best in the industry, trading places with Yoga stretching (offered on just about every Kahuna chair on the market, for example).

The yoga stretch is a gentler option, but both have real therapeutic value. If you suffer from chronic back or neck pain, this will probably be one of your favorite options on the chair.

These twelve options would be quite good for themselves. Still, Titan offers you a variety of ways to personalize and customize your massage experience, allowing you to make adjustments in the following ways:

All told, that gives you crazy amounts of freedom and flexibility to personalize your massage experience.

We love it, and we think you will, too!

It gets better, though, because, in addition to those options, you’ll find both spot and partial massage modes, lumbar heat that can be toggled on or off, and two different zero-gravity seating positions—all of which offer additional ways to relax you and further modify your massage. 

Our only quibble here is that with so many different personalization options, we wish this model also featured a few profile slots that would allow you to save your favorite massage settings for one-touch recall later.

We really like that although this chair can be enjoyed by someone who doesn’t suffer from serious chronic pain issues, the lumbar heat, Zero-G seating options, and excellent Thai stretch routine offer enough therapeutic features to make it useful for chronic pain sufferers. 

Kudos to Titan for managing to cater to both markets!

Average Air Massage

We regard this as an average component of our Titan 3D Pro Prestige massage chair review, as we don’t see anything remarkable in the air massage implementation here.

The company utilizes 24 strategically placed airbags to render the massage. That’s enough for adequate coverage and certainly enough to provide the “gripping action” during the Thai stretching routine, but the coverage isn’t as comprehensive as we’d like. And with relatively few airbags to cover the whole of your body, the quality of the massage begins to suffer.

That’s not to say it’s a bad massage—it isn’t. However, finding other massage chairs in the same price range that do this part better is not hard.

Few people make a purchasing decision based on the quality of the chair’s airbag-based massage, but if this is a critical feature for you, this is almost certainly not the chair you want.

Suppose you’re okay with an average feature implementation. In that case, the five intensity levels will serve you well enough, and note that you can activate the airbags by the following body regions from the remote:

Decent Calf and Foot Massage

We’d rate this as a fairly weak component of our Titan 3D Pro Prestige massage chair review because although this chair offers a calf and foot massage, we found the implementation to be a bit wanting.

The one bright spot in the equation lies in the fact that the calf and foot massage is rendered via a combination of both airbags and foot rollers. It feels good, but you don’t get any calf and foot-specific settings that allow you to customize that part of your massage, and there’s no heat in the leg massage ports.

Even so, if you’ve got a job that sees you spending several hours of each day on your feet, this just might wind up being your favorite aspect of the chair. We will say, however, that if you’re buying a massage chair specifically for an out-of-this-world calf and foot massage, it won’t be hard to find better options on the market. 

Now, Let’s Talk About Extras

The Pro Prestige isn’t blessed with an abundance of extras, but it has one high-value one that we want to draw your attention to: Bluetooth speakers’ presence.

These allow you to sync your phone to the speakers and listen to your favorite music or podcast while enjoying an exceptional massage. While it’s a common “extra” on massage chairs these days, it’s always a welcome addition that enhances the experience.

One thing we want to draw your attention to in this section, though, is the fact that this model lacks a massage timer. All of the massages you can order from the remote default to a fifteen-minute duration, and there’s no way to alter that.

It’s easy enough to turn the machine off if you want a shorter massage or order a second one right after the first massage finishes if you want something longer, but this is a genuine point of weakness in the design. We wanted to point it out to any prospective buyer.

Pros & Cons of Titan 3D Pro Prestige Massage Chair

The Titan Pro Prestige isn’t a perfect massage chair, but it does have a lot going for it. Here are the things we think you’ll like best about this model:

However, it does have some downsides. The biggest of these are:

The positives far outweigh the negatives, in our view, but we understand that everyone has different needs and priorities. 

Titan 3D Pro Prestige Massage Chair Review Conclusion

We like this chair, but we don’t love it. The company could do a few simple things to update this model and make it significantly more attractive. Adding more airbags would be a good start. 

Offering heat in the footwells and including options to customize the calf and foot massage would be another. Adding a massage timer and a music-synchronized massage technique would really round the model out and make it feel competitive with the top-end machines in its price range.

As things currently stand, we can only give this one a provisional recommendation. If you buy one, we think you’ll enjoy it, but if airbag massage and the calf and foot routines are important to you, you can do better.

Other Options To Consider

If you’ve read to this point and aren’t sold on the model we just reviewed, here are a couple of other options to consider:

If you like Titan/Osaki and want to stay in that product family but are looking for a more up-to-date chair, the Pro Emperor is a magnificent option. This is a 4D massage chair that will give you an out-of-this-world massage. It’s got tons of other features you’ll love, and you’ll be thrilled with its performance!

Kahuna is another big name in the massage chair world, and their chairs are uniformly excellent. Instead of offering the aggressive Thai stretch on the models they sell, they gravitate more toward the gentler “Yoga Stretch,” which is amazing and not to be missed.

All of their chairs are brimming with cutting-edge features, and this one offers a six-roller array instead of quad rollers, which gives a massage that will absolutely dazzle you. It’s well worth a closer look!
