Kyota | Nokori M980 Syner-D

Kyota Nokori M980 Massage Chair

The Kyota Nokori M980 is the flagship massage chair in the range, and two roller mechanisms work your back together. Kyota's own name for the pair is Syner-D, and the two move as one. They travel a J-Track, a rail shaped like an L that lifts at the bottom to stretch the back. Three shiatsu rollers sit under each foot, pressing and rolling on the sole. A touch screen tablet and an armrest joystick drive the chair, with nine intensity steps. It weighs 363 lbs. and takes users to 300 lbs. The chair fits heights of 5 ft 2 in. to 6 ft 4 in.

The pair of mechanisms is what the flagship money buys. Most chairs in the range run one unit up and down the back. On the Nokori two units share the backrest and move together, and between them they run 2D, 3D and 4D movement. At 363 lbs. the Nokori is the heaviest chair in the range, and the frame carrying that pair is the reason. TrueFit body scanning measures your back before a program starts, so the rollers sit where your back is. Complete Calf kneading and oscillation works both calf wells, and Lumbar Heat warms the lower back panel. Chromotherapy lighting runs coloured LEDs on the chair, and an Integrated Air Ionizer sits on it as standard. Weightless Zero Gravity Recline puts your knees roughly level with your chest, and Zero Wall Fit slides the seat forward as the backrest drops. A wireless charging pad and SootheMe Sound Therapy round out the armrest and the speakers. Upright the chair stands 50 in. tall and 31.88 in. across the front, on an 18 in. seat with 20.5 in. across the shoulders.

Inside the chair

The Hardware That Puts It At The Top

Syner-D is the piece of this chair to read about first. The track, the controls and the fittings around it are the flagship versions of equipment that appears further down the line.

🔄
Two Back Mechanisms Under One Cover
Syner-D is Kyota's name for the pair of back massage mechanisms in this backrest. The two sit on the same J-Track and are timed to run together through a program. Two other Kyota chairs pair their mechanisms, and neither does it on a J-Track.
Two mechanisms
📏
A J-Track From Neck To Glutes
The rollers ride a J-Track, a path that carries the full-body reach of an L-Track and the stretch of an S-Track in one shape. Coverage runs from the neck and shoulders down the back and through the hips and glutes. Arms, calves and feet are worked by their own modules.
Eight massage regions
📱
A Tablet Remote And An Armrest Joystick
The main controller is a touch screen tablet that holds the menu and the Manual Settings, where you pick region and intensity yourself. A Quick Access Control Panel with a joystick is built into the armrest for the changes you want without sitting up. Intensity runs from 1 to 9, a wider span than any other chair in the line offers.
1 to 9 intensity
💡
What Else Comes Built In
A wireless charging pad, Chromotherapy Lights, an Integrated Air Ionizer and SootheMe Sound Therapy through the speakers are all standard on the Nokori. Lumbar Heat warms the lower back panel. TrueFit body scanning measures you at the start of a session.

What It Takes Up Upright And Back

Upright the Nokori measures 31.88 in. across the front and stands 50 in. tall. Reclined it opens out to 62.99 in. of depth. The delivery route matters here as much as the floor space at the end of it, because 363 lbs. has to travel from the curb to the room it will stay in.

Driving It From The Tablet Or The Armrest

The Nokori answers to two sets of controls. The tablet remote holds the full menu and the Manual Settings, where region and intensity are yours to set. The Quick Access Control Panel is built into the armrest with a joystick beside it, in reach of a hand that is already resting there. TrueFit body scanning runs first and measures you before the rollers start.

The Calf Wells And The Foot Rollers

Complete Calf kneading and oscillation runs in the calf wells while three shiatsu rollers turn under each sole for Total Sole reflexology. The calves and the feet travel as one unit as the footrest moves, so the leg stays supported the whole way through a recline. Kyota's names for the two modules are Complete Calf Kneading and Oscillation and Triple Foot Roller Total Sole Reflexology.

Upright the chair is 31.88 in. wide at the front and 50 in. tall. Reclined the depth opens to 62.99 in. Zero Wall Fit space-saving technology is fitted, so the recline asks for no gap behind the backrest.
