Model: WholeBody 5.1
The WholeBody 5.1 keeps things simple: a furniture-style chair, a retractable calf-and-foot massager and straightforward controls. The tradeoff is an equally simple feature set, with no heat, zero gravity or body scan.

DETAILED OVERVIEW
The WholeBody 5.1 keeps the experience intentionally simple. It looks more like a conventional chair, tucks away its calf-and-foot massager and avoids the screen-heavy controls found on many full-size models.
Its appeal is restraint: three automatic programs, adjustable massage width, and a removable softening pad. It does not include heat, airbags, zero gravity, body scanning, Bluetooth, or an app.
WHO IT SUITS
FEATURE ANALYSIS
The FlexGlide engine provides orbital back massage without the adjustable forward depth marketed on the 7.1. The removable pad offers a physical way to soften or strengthen the experience.
The calf/foot unit rotates out for use and stows when the chair returns to a seating role. It is a figure-eight lower-leg mechanism, not a set of sole rollers inside an enclosed footwell.
FIT AND ROOM PLANNING
This chair is relatively narrow, but Human Touch does not publish a user-height range. Shoppers within the 285-pound maximum should still check where the back mechanism and ottoman meet their body.
Reclined size is 67 × 28 × 28 inches, with 9 inches required behind the chair. The shipping carton is 48 × 29 × 32 inches and 133 pounds gross.

DELIVERY AND SETUP
Start with the route: 133 lb shipping weight; 48 × 29 × 32 in carton. The chair itself weighs 107 lb. For setup, limited assembly. Measure every doorway, turn, stair and landing, then confirm whether delivery is curbside, threshold, room-of-choice or white glove.
WARRANTY AND SUPPORT
Human Touch lists a 3-year limited warranty. An optional extended plan described on the manufacturer page can add in-home service, parts, and structural coverage; confirm eligibility with the actual seller.
