House of Massage Chairs · Bodyfriend Collection
Two independently driven leg units that stretch and walk your legs, an XD roller module for the back, 36 airbags from the hands to the heels, and a dial that starts a session in one turn — the Bodyfriend Falcon SV massage chair is the one built for legs that have been standing all day.
01 · In One Minute
Understand the Bodyfriend Falcon SV massage chair before you sit in it.
In brief
The Bodyfriend Falcon SV massage chair is the current Falcon massage chair in Bodyfriend's U.S. lineup, and it is on the floor in both of our Bay Area showrooms. Its defining system is patented ROVO technology — two independently driven leg units that stretch and move the legs instead of only squeezing them — paired with an XD Massage Module for the back, 36 airbags from the hands to the heels, magnetic hand acupressure pads, sole rollers, heat up to 131°F, zero-gravity recline, 14 safety sensors, and a Quick Dial controller. The honest tradeoff: one finish, a 265 lb user rating, and a deliberately simple remote rather than a touchscreen.
Legs
Patented ROVO technology: a bipedal leg system that performs single-leg stretching, PNF-style stretching, and walking movements — the reason people shortlist this chair.
Back
An XD Massage Module that lets you set intensity and roller spacing, built to keep a firm, deliberate roller feel even under load.
Hands & air
36 airbags from the hands to the heels, with patented magnetic acupressure pads in each arm for a hand-and-forearm session most chairs skip.
Feet & warmth
Sole rollers that imitate a noduled bamboo roller underfoot, and heat that reaches up to 131°F to settle you before the deeper work begins.
Recline & safety
Zero-gravity recline with 14 automatic safety sensors in the leg and back areas that detect an obstruction and stop the chair.
Control
An LCD remote for full customization and a Quick Dial that launches presets and adjusts recline in a turn — plus Bluetooth audio, in-chair USB charging, and over-the-air updates.
02 · Anatomy of the Falcon SV
Six systems, in the order
you'll feel them.
The Legs
Legs that are moved, not just squeezed.
Most chairs treat the legs as a pair of airbag sleeves. The Falcon SV's patented ROVO technology drives each leg unit independently, so it can stretch one leg at a time, run PNF-style stretching sequences, and perform the walking movement Bodyfriend is known for. SV specification sheets list a 71° leg separation angle and a 12 mm/s actuator speed, double the original Falcon's.
- SystemPatented ROVO bipedal leg technology
- MovementsSingle-leg stretch · PNF-style stretch · walking
- Programs8 ROVO modes in the auto library
Why it mattersIf your day is standing, walking, or training, the legs ask first. ROVO is a lower-body experience, not a footrest feature — and the reason the Falcon SV gets compared with chairs above its price.
The Back
A roller module you can set, not just switch.
Behind you, the XD Massage Module handles the back. Bodyfriend's brief for it is simple: let the user choose intensity and roller spacing, and keep the massage strong and firm even under load. You can push a session toward deeper pressure without every program turning intense.
- ModuleXD Massage Module
- You setIntensity · roller spacing
- CharacterFirm, deliberate roller feel
Why it mattersPressure preference is the most personal thing about a massage chair. A module you can tune lets two people in one household both call the same chair “right.”
The Feet & The Warmth
Bamboo-roller feet, and heat that arrives first.
Underfoot, mechanical sole rollers imitate a noduled bamboo roller across the soles, so the foot area is active and textured rather than padded. Heat reaches up to 131°F, and its job is to settle you early — switch it on so the body is relaxed before the deeper roller and leg actions begin.
- FeetSole rollers, bamboo-roller feel
- HeatUp to 131°F
- UseWarm first, then work deeper
Why it mattersWarmth is comfort-focused relaxation support, not a treatment — and the feature owners reach for most on cold evenings.
The Hands & The Air
Where the forearms finally get a turn.
36 airbags compress and release from the hands to the heels — hands, arms, shoulders, calves, feet, and heels. Inside each arm, patented magnetic acupressure pads work with the airbags to give the hands and forearms an intentional session rather than light compression. If you type, grip, or lift all day, this is the stage that surprises people.
- Airbags36, hands to heels
- ArmsPatented magnetic acupressure pads
- CoverageHands · arms · shoulders · calves · feet · heels
Why it mattersAir coverage makes a chair feel held rather than worked on. The hand pads are a Bodyfriend signature most chairs at this price skip.
The Recline & The Guardrails
Weightless, and watched.
Zero-gravity recline lifts the legs and settles your weight into the backrest so the rollers and airbags work against a relaxed body. Because the leg units move on their own, Bodyfriend surrounds them with 14 automatic safety sensors in the leg and back areas that detect an obstruction — a child, a pet, a table leg — and stop the chair.
- ReclineZero-gravity position
- Sensors14 automatic safety sensors, legs and back
- BehaviorDetects obstruction, stops the chair
Why it mattersA chair whose legs move has to be trusted around a household. The sensors are what let you close your eyes in it.
The Control
One turn to start. A screen when you want more.
The Falcon SV deliberately skips the touchscreen. A Quick Dial launches preset programs and adjusts recline, so most evenings the chair needs one turn. The LCD remote covers the rest: body scan, custom sessions, status, and automatic firmware updates over the air. An auto-connect Bluetooth speaker and an in-chair USB charger sit alongside.
- Quick DialPresets and recline in one turn
- LCD remoteBody scan · customization · status
- ExtrasBluetooth speaker · USB charger · OTA updates
Why it mattersThe chair that gets used is the one that is easy to start. Fast controls are a daily-use feature, not a convenience footnote.
03 · The Walk
Built for the legs you stood on all day.
The Falcon SV is not the Bodyfriend you buy to impress guests — that is what the flagships are for. It is the one you buy because the last hour of your day belongs to your legs: the standing shift, the long walk, the training block, the flight. ROVO is the reason this chair exists.
A ROVO session moves the legs through stretching and walking sequences while the XD module works the back and 36 airbags hold everything else. It is a different massage experience from a fixed-leg chair — guided, structural, and hard to describe until you have tried it.
- i.Single-leg stretchingOne leg at a time
- ii.PNF-style stretchingBodyfriend's stretch sequence
- iii.Walking movementThe bipedal signature
- iv.8 ROVO modesInside the 27 auto programs
- v.14 safety sensorsWatching the moving leg units
The Falcon SV is a wellness and relaxation product — not a medical device, and not a replacement for professional care.
04 · Fit & Personalization
Will it fit your legs?
With a chair that moves the legs, fit is not an afterthought.
Where to try this model in person →The remote scans before the rollers move.
A body scan runs from the LCD remote so the XD module starts aligned to your back rather than to a factory default.
27 automatic programs, 8 of them ROVO.
Ready-made sessions for workdays and rest days, with eight ROVO modes that put the leg system at the center. Most evenings the chair needs one turn of the Quick Dial.
Intensity and roller spacing are yours to set.
The XD module lets you shape how firm and how wide the back massage feels, so a deeper preference does not require a different program.
Rated to 265 lb. Height range not published.
Confirm fit for the tallest and shortest people who will use it.
Sit in it with the legs moving.
ROVO is the fit question that matters most. In a showroom, run a ROVO mode and judge calf pressure, footrest length, and how the leg movement feels to you before you buy.
05 · Feature Index
Every Falcon SV feature, and what it changes.
The complete list — each feature stated once, with the difference it makes in daily use. If it is not here, the Falcon SV does not claim it.
Independently driven leg units for single-leg stretching, PNF-style stretching, and walking movements — the lower-body experience that defines the chair.
A back roller module with user-set intensity and roller spacing, designed to stay strong and firm under load.
Category-themed sessions for variety across workdays and rest days, including 8 ROVO modes.
Compression from the hands to the heels — hands, arms, shoulders, calves, feet, and heels — so the chair feels held, not just worked on.
Patented pads in each arm that pair with the airbags for a distinct hand-and-forearm session.
Mechanical foot rollers that imitate a noduled bamboo roller across the soles.
Warmth that settles the body early in a session; comfort support, not a medical treatment.
Lifts the legs and settles your weight into the backrest so the massage works against a relaxed body.
Sensors in the leg and back areas detect an obstruction and stop the chair — the guardrail a moving-leg chair needs around kids and pets.
Launches preset programs and adjusts recline in one turn, which is why this chair gets used on ordinary evenings.
Full customization, a body scan before the session, status at a glance, and automatic firmware updates delivered over the air.
Auto-connect audio for music or guided relaxation, with a USB charger positioned near the remote.
06 · In Your Home
Will it work in your space?
by 35 inches of floor is the installation area Bodyfriend specifies. Upright, the Falcon SV measures 61.4″ long, 29.5″ wide, and 45.7″ tall; in full recline it stretches to 71.2″ long and drops to 33″ tall.
Finish
- Beige upholstery
- Wood-grain trim
One finish, as pictured: beige upholstery with wood-grain side panels. There is no color selector for this chair at House of Massage Chairs.
Delivery
Standard U.S. shipping is free, and massage chairs typically include White Glove delivery — in-home placement, basic assembly, and packaging removal. In-stock items arrive in approximately 2 days to 4 weeks. Confirm scheduling, stairs, and doorway access before checkout.
Room planning
The chair weighs 224.9 lb, so measure the doorway, hallway, and any stairs on the delivery path before it ships — the shipping policy places fitment responsibility with the buyer. Allow the 75″ by 35″ installation area and keep the leg units clear.
Body fit
Rated for users up to 265 lb. No recommended height range is published; confirm calf-unit fit and footrest length for everyone who will use the chair, ideally in a showroom with a ROVO mode running.
07 · Ownership
What happens after you buy.
Delivery
Free shipping. White Glove typically included.

08 · The Verdict
Who the Falcon SV is for — and who should compare something else.
A strong fit if you…
- Finish most days on your feet — standing work, long walks, training — and want the legs handled first.
- Want Bodyfriend's patented ROVO leg technology without stepping up to flagship pricing.
- Prefer a dial you can turn with your eyes closed over a touchscreen you have to learn.
- Type, grip, or lift for a living and would use a real hand-and-forearm massage.
- Share the chair with a household and value automatic safety sensors around kids and pets.
- Like the beige-and-wood design language and want a chair that reads as furniture.
Consider another model if you…
- Want a color choice — the Falcon SV comes in one finish at House of Massage Chairs.
- Need a higher user weight rating than 265 lb, or fall outside the height range you can verify in person.
- Are unsure about a chair that moves your legs — some people love ROVO immediately and some prefer a fixed leg rest; test it first.
- Want maximum airbag coverage and a heavier flagship build — that is the Phantom Rovo's territory.

| Size, weight, rating | 61.4″ long upright, 224.9 lb, rated to 265 lb — the easier chair to place and deliver. | 64″ long upright, 352 lb, rated to 300 lb — a heavier flagship footprint. |

Questions
Bodyfriend Falcon SV questions, answered.
Where can I buy the Bodyfriend Falcon SV massage chair?
At House of Massage Chairs, an authorized Bodyfriend dealer. Order the Bodyfriend Falcon SV online with free US shipping and white-glove delivery, or buy it at our San Jose (Westfield Oakridge) or Pleasanton (Stoneridge) showroom. Call or text (669) 214-8889 with questions about the Falcon SV.
Can I try the Bodyfriend Falcon SV before buying?
Yes. The Bodyfriend Falcon SV is on the floor in both of our showrooms, San Jose (Westfield Oakridge) and Pleasanton (Stoneridge), and walk-ins are welcome with no appointment needed. Each carries 45+ chairs in 3,500–4,000 sq ft, so you can run a ROVO mode and compare the Falcon SV with every other chair in one visit.
How is the Bodyfriend Falcon SV different from the original Bodyfriend Falcon massage chair with ROVO walking technology?
Two numbers. Both chairs are built around Bodyfriend's patented ROVO walking technology, but Bodyfriend Falcon SV specification sheets list a 71° leg separation angle and a 12 mm/s actuator speed, double the original Falcon's. The Falcon SV is the current Falcon in Bodyfriend's U.S. lineup and the one House of Massage Chairs sells.
Bodyfriend Falcon SV vs Phantom Rovo: what is the difference?
Build and air coverage. The Bodyfriend Falcon SV pairs ROVO leg technology with the XD Massage Module and 36 airbags, at 224.9 lb and a 265 lb user rating. The Bodyfriend Phantom Rovo steps up to an XD PRO module and 87 air pockets, at 352 lb and a 300 lb rating — a heavier flagship footprint.
Is the Bodyfriend Falcon SV worth it?
Yes, if your legs are the reason you are shopping. ROVO moves each leg independently through stretching and walking sequences, and it is what separates the Bodyfriend Falcon SV from fixed-leg chairs at similar prices. After that, judge the XD module's firmness at your preferred intensity, the hand-and-forearm session from the magnetic acupressure pads, and how quickly the Quick Dial gets you into a program.
How much space does the Bodyfriend Falcon SV need?
75 by 35 inches. Bodyfriend specifies a 75-inch by 35-inch installation area for the Falcon SV and does not publish a separate wall-clearance figure, so plan against that footprint. Upright, the Bodyfriend Falcon SV measures 61.4 inches long, 29.5 inches wide, and 45.7 inches tall; fully reclined it is 71.2 inches long and 33 inches tall. The chair weighs 224.9 lb.
What user height and weight does the Bodyfriend Falcon SV fit?
Up to 265 lb. Bodyfriend rates the Falcon SV for users up to 265 lb and does not publish a recommended height range, so verify calf-unit fit and footrest length in person — ideally with a ROVO mode running — for everyone who will use the Bodyfriend Falcon SV.
What massage mechanism and track does the Bodyfriend Falcon SV use?
An XD Massage Module for the back, which lets you set intensity and roller spacing. The legs use patented ROVO technology: two independently driven leg units for single-leg stretching, PNF-style stretching, and walking movements. Bodyfriend does not publish a track designation for the Falcon SV; ask our team if it matters to your decision.
What warranty comes with the Bodyfriend Falcon SV?
Five years, limited. Bodyfriend states that the Bodyfriend Falcon SV includes a 5-year limited warranty — see warranty details. Bodyfriend's warranty applies within the continental US. Ask us for the written terms before you order; your Bodyfriend Falcon SV purchase is also covered by our 6-Month Price Protection, and you can pay with Affirm, as low as 0% APR, subject to eligibility.
Is the Bodyfriend Falcon SV HSA/FSA eligible?
Yes. The Bodyfriend Falcon SV is HSA/FSA eligible with a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN). Our HSA/FSA massage chair guide explains how buying with HSA or FSA funds works, and you can call or text (669) 214-8889 with questions before you order.
Before You Decide
A chair that moves your legsshould be felt before it is bought.
Run a ROVO mode. Judge the calf pressure, the footrest length, the firmness of the XD module, and the hand pads. Those are the things a spec sheet cannot settle — and the things that decide whether the Falcon SV becomes your evening habit.
The Falcon SV is on the floor in both showrooms. Walk-ins are welcome, no appointment needed; call or text (669) 214-8889 with questions.
The Decision
Bodyfriend
Falcon SV.
In one sentence: Bodyfriend's ROVO leg technology and an adjustable XD roller module, wrapped in 36 airbags, hand pads, heat, and a dial that starts it all — at the accessible end of the Bodyfriend range. If your legs are the reason you are shopping, this is the chair to sit in first.

Amazing service from Gio! Totally no rush, no pressure to make a purchase! Gio was open, and took the time and initiative to make sure we were getting the chair that best fits our needs and pricing. We glad we made this purchase!

Henry and Shawn were absolutely amazing in helping us select the chair of my dreams. They went over and above in not only helping me compare the models and benefits but to also explain the technology behind the various ones I tried. Go here and be happy with the chair you pick!
M. R. · San Jose showroom · Google review
Just had an amazing experience buying my first massage chair. Gabe was very patient and explained in detail all the different chairs available in their showroom. They have a lot of different chairs in their showroom. I highly recommend coming here if you need to buy a massage chair!
S. L. · Pleasanton showroom · Google review
My husband and I stopped in on the fly to look at a foot massager. We got the best help from Shawn. He was so patient with us in our indecisiveness. Shawn is very knowledgeable in the inventory and we willingly tried a massage chair to check the new tech of the chairs. We tried several different chairs and ended up purchasing the 'Ferrari' chair. We are so grateful for his patience, his knowledge, and his continually helping us and with all the settings. We are excited about our new purchase and we are looking forward to the benefits and relaxing moments that await. Thank you Shawn for your help and good luck to you!

Great experience shopping for a massage chair here! The store has a wide selection of massage chairs that you can actually try, which really helped us compare the different options.
My husband and I spent about two hours trying different chairs, and Shawun was very patient and helpful throughout the entire process. He let us try all the chairs we were interested in and clearly explained the features and differences between each one. We finally found a chair that we both really liked.
We really appreciate Shawun help, as well as Michael’s assistance. Great selection and very helpful service. Highly recommended!
N. M. · Pleasanton showroom · Google review
My wife and I have been looking at Massage Chairs on line for quite some time. Everything I've read, said to go out and try several to see what is the best fit, comfort and price.
Today, we went to House of Massage Chairs and met with Henry Ipek. He showed us numerous massage chairs to find out what was the best fit for us. I think we probably tried 10 different chairs while we were in the store.
Finally, my wife and I finally agreed on one chair that we both loved. It wasn't the chair I came in for or saw on line, but it was 10X better. We spent a little more than we initially wanted to, but when you figure this is going to last us a long time, we went ahead and pulled the trigger.
Henry was wonderful dealing with and gave us a good and fair price on the massage chair.
We couldn't be more happy with our purchase and the service we got from Henry.
T. S. · San Jose showroom · Google review
We were very impressed with the selection of massage chairs and the service we received. We were able to take our time trying many different models. Shawun was knowledgeable and patient, explaining the features of each chair and helping us find one that both my wife and I liked. Michael was also very helpful. We really appreciated their friendly service and would definitely recommend this store.
S. C. · Pleasanton showroom · Google review
Henry at House of Massage Chairs provided truly exceptional service from start to finish. He spent a generous amount of time with my wife and me, helping us find the right massage chair for both of our needs. He patiently walked us through the different brands, features, and technologies, explaining each brand’s approach and how those differences translate into the actual massage experience. His knowledge and attention to detail helped us feel informed and confident in our decision.
What really set Henry apart was how far he went to help us beyond the store visit. He assisted with delivery and even helped us navigate the return of a massage chair we had recently purchased. That level of care and follow-through made a big difference to us.
Throughout the entire process, we felt that Henry genuinely cared about finding the best fit for us. If you’re considering a massage chair, I highly recommend visiting House of Massage Chairs and asking for Henry. Thank you, Henry, for your patience, expertise, and outstanding service!

Salesman Gabe spent time with us explaining the features of each chair and the differences between chairs. No pressure sales.
D. H. · Pleasanton showroom · Google review
We had a wonderful experience here! Henry was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and professional. He took the time to understand what we were looking for and quickly helped us narrow down the options based on our preferences.
The store carries a great selection of different brands and models, probably one of the most comprehensive selections we’ve seen in the Bay Area. It was really convenient to be able to try so many different chairs in one place, and we found one we loved pretty quickly.
Henry also did a great job explaining the differences between the chairs, as well as the warranty and after-sales service for each option. We really appreciated how transparent and thorough he was—it made us feel very comfortable and confident about our purchase.
Overall, it was such a pleasant and stress-free shopping experience. Great selection, great service, and very knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend Henry and this store if you’re looking for a massage chair!
C. C. · San Jose showroom · Google review
We visited the store intending to buy a chair on father's day. Gabe's exceptional patience, comprehensive knowledge of all available chairs, and friendly, non-pressuring demeanor made the experience truly enjoyable. We spent over 3 hrs trying almost every chair, so much so that we didn't realize the mall had already closed. Despite this, Gabe graciously encouraged us to take our time and not rush our decision. Ultimately, we purchased a chair that exceeded our initial budget, but its quality has proven invaluable as we use it daily. Thank you Gabe again!
C. B. · Pleasanton showroom · Google review
We had such a great experience shopping here! Henry, the owner, was incredibly helpful and professional. He quickly understood exactly what we were looking for and, with his many years of experience, recommended a massage chair that turned out to be a perfect fit for us.
What really impressed us was how accurately he explained the differences between the chairs and what we would actually feel during the massage. Once we tried the chair he recommended, everything he described was spot on. He really helped us narrow down the options and feel confident about our final decision without ever making us feel pressured.
Henry is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about finding the right chair for his customers. We’re very happy with our purchase and the entire shopping experience. Highly recommend!
