When I heard the first ever East Coast OSIM Experience Store was opening on Long Island, I couldn’t have volunteered myself any faster to try out the brand’s totally innovative massage chairs and gadgets.

With my husband along for the ride, we headed to OSIM’s beautiful new storefront in Roosevelt Field Mall, where we were able to test drive their newest, luxurious offering, the OSIM uLove 3 Well-Being Massage Chair–pun intended, as this top-of-the-line chair was actually designed in Italy by the same geniuses behind Ferrari!

What was it like to take a spin in this innovative, app-controlled, AI-powered, deluxe massage chair? Get the downlow on the uLove 3 or head over to Roosevelt Field Mall to get a free stress analysis and try it out yourself!

Using AI technology, the OSIM uLOve 3 Well-Being Massage Chair customizes your massage based on a calculated tension score.

How Stressed Are You?

The OSIM uLove 3 Well-Being Massage Chair experience starts with an AI stress analysis, which uses electrocardiogram sensors to generate a real-time body tension score that’s used to customize your massage program. My husband hopped in the chair first and registered a low tension score, so he opted for the recommended deep tissue massage. With pressure settings of 1-10, he stuck to a 2, and within moments I watched his face wash over with complete relaxation. Of course, I was eager for my own turn…. When I sat down, my body tension score was a bit higher, so I started with the suggested relaxation massage.

Like a Team of Masseuses

To start my massage, I slid my hands into the patented V-Hand Plus Massage feature and placed my legs in the Leg-Reflex Massage units. The rest of my body happily melted into the Body-Warmth Tech chair. The OSIM uLove 3 Well-Being Massage Chair uses something called 4-Hand Plus Massage technology to mirror the effect of two masseuses working on your body–and the result is pure bliss. My heart rate lowered, my jaw unclenched, and my shoulders dropped below my ears. Seriously, this chair unlocked a level of relaxation I haven't seen in years. Way more effective than the 5 peaceful minutes I get alone in the shower each day!

My husband truly won't stop talking about his massage at the beautiful new OSIM Experience Store in Long Island.

What Can a Zero Gravity Massage Chair Do?

Each customized massage program lasts 15 minutes, but you can easily tack on a second massage or try the one-of-a-kind stretching program. As impossible as it sounds, the OSIM uLove 3 Well-Being Massage Chair stretching program suspends you in an anti-gravity position while rollers and pivoting neck and leg extensions contort your body, open your spine, and help you reach your peak loosey goosey potential.

This and all of the other massage programs have been thoughtfully designed by a Japanese chiropractic massage expert, and you can really feel it in the experience, with the targeted treatments aimed to address specific needs.

A Real Time Out From Mom Life

While I love a good massage, I rarely find time to schedule one. I imagine having this chair in my home would encourage me to take much-needed breaks to relax and recharge way more frequently (and we all know a mom break is good for everyone…). Also, I love that my teenagers and the other grownups in our family can all take turns with the OSIM uLove 3 Well-Being Massage Chair–that provides a lot of extra value.

Between the easy-to-use OSIM app and the incredible OSIM uLove 3 Well-Being Massage Chair capabilities, it’s pretty amazing that each and every person who sits in the chair can have a fully customized massage–complete with signature moves and intensities, and options to select specialized lifestyle programs that focus on sleep, beauty, sport recovery, and more. I like that everyone can select their own music, or read and watch movies on their smartphones with the handy USB port and entertainment stand, to completely personalize their experience.

Try It for Yourself

With 0% financing payment plans, the OSIM uLove 3 Well-Being Massage Chair is a luxury and investment in your health and happiness that might make sense for you. Plus, the monthly payment is about the same as two regular massages or one luxury spa day.

Of course, if the uLove 3 is out of reach, there are many more devices and chairs to try at the OSIM Experience Store at Roosevelt Field. You’ll find portable massagers, foot massagers, gaming chairs, and more–all designed with the latest massage technology. If you sign up in advance for a visit, you’ll also receive a free gift and access to exclusive discounts and sales.

Oh, and my husband is still talking about his massage.
