House of Massage Chairs · Bodyfriend Pharaoh Family
A movement-led premium Bodyfriend chair built around ROVO robotics, the XD-Pro massage module, full-body heating, and Bang & Olufsen audio — with the scale and room presence to match.
01 · In One Minute
A Pharaoh built around movement, not feature counting.
In brief
The Bodyfriend Pharaoh Neo Massage Chair is a stretch-focused premium model built around ROVO robotics, eight Robo-Care routines, XD-Pro massage, full-body heat, an 8-inch controller, Bang & Olufsen audio, and natural leather. HMC currently lists it at $13,499.00. Its advantage is integration: lower-body movement, massage, heat, and sound work as one experience. Its tradeoff is scale—364.2 lb and 35.82″ wide—plus store-assisted purchasing. Confirm the exact finish, numeric wall clearance, and live availability before purchase.
ROVO movement
ROVO gives the lower-body section an active role, with eight named Robo-Care routines built around movement and stretching.
XD-Pro massage
XD-Pro handles the main massage work; Bodyfriend lists massage-ball coverage from neck to buttocks.
Thermal coverage
Heat is published from the back through the glutes and soles, adjustable up to 50°C / 122°F.
Full-body air
Air compression spans the upper body through the heel, with automatic leg adjustment.
Sound as a system
Bang & Olufsen audio and Entertainment Mode keep the chair useful even when massage is off.
Furniture presence
Natural leather and a 35.82″-wide body make room planning part of the buying decision.

The Movement
The leg section is part of the massage logic.
ROVO is Pharaoh Neo's defining system. Bodyfriend coordinates lower-body movement through eight signature Robo-Care programs: Iliopsoas Relaxation, Cycle Mode, Hamstring Relaxation, Rolling Stretch, Piriformis Relaxation, PNF Stretch, Rovo Refresh, and Rovo Recovery.

Why it mattersIt matters most if movement and stretch-focused routines are central to how you plan to use the chair.
The Massage Module
XD-Pro handles the main contact work.
Bodyfriend identifies the massage module as XD-Pro and lists massage-ball coverage from neck to buttocks. The current U.S. page does not publish an SL- or L-track designation, so judge actual reach and pressure rather than assigning an unverified track label.
- ModuleXD-Pro
- Massage-ball areaNeck to buttocks
Why it mattersTest shoulder placement, lower-back reach, and pressure before deciding.
The Warmth
Heat extends well beyond one lumbar pad.
Bodyfriend publishes heat from the back through the glutes and soles, adjustable up to 50°C / 122°F. Treat that maximum as a specification, not a recommended setting.
- Maximum setting50°C / 122°F
- Published coverageBack · glutes · soles
Why it mattersBroader thermal coverage makes warmth part of the full session instead of one isolated zone.
The Wrap
Air compression follows the body down to the heel.
Bodyfriend publishes air coverage at the shoulders, back, waist, arms, pelvis, thighs, calves, feet, and heel, plus automatic leg adjustment. The current U.S. page does not publish an airbag count, so none is claimed here.
- Air coverageUpper body through heel
- Leg fitAutomatic leg adjustment
Why it mattersCheck calf, foot, and arm fit in person; compression should feel supportive, not restrictive.
The Control
An 8-inch screen keeps a complex chair legible.
The 8-inch controller is listed at 1280 x 800. One-Touch Recline and Zero Wall are published, but no numeric wall clearance is. Plan from the full reclined dimensions until HMC confirms clearance.

Why it mattersA store demonstration is the fastest way to judge whether the interface feels natural.
The Surroundings
The chair keeps working when the massage stops.
Bang & Olufsen audio, Bluetooth, and Entertainment Mode let the sound system work without massage. USB charging adds utility, and Bodyfriend lists 15 intelligent anti-pinch sensors.

Why it mattersUseful non-massage functions help justify the space a chair this substantial occupies.
03 · The Stretch Ritual
The difference is what the chair asks your legs to do.
Pharaoh Neo is easiest to understand as a movement-led massage chair. Its identity is clearest when ROVO routines coordinate the lower-body structure, recline, and massage sequence.
The purchase question is specific: do you enjoy guided movement as part of relaxation? If not, a simpler premium model may suit you better.

04 · Fit & Personalization
The published limits are only the start of fit.
ROVO movement makes lower-body fit unusually important. Height and weight narrow the field; foot position, calf contact, knee alignment, and shoulder placement decide the fit.
Compare fit in person →Bodyfriend lists 6'3″ under recommended height.
The U.S. page does not publish a minimum height. Shorter users should verify shoulder, foot, and leg alignment in person.
The published limit is 300 lb.
Bodyfriend publishes 300 lb as the recommended weight limit; confirm fit and warranty details if a user is close to it.
Auto leg adjustment helps, but geometry still matters.
Test calf wrap, foot placement, knee angle, and ROVO movement through more than one routine.
XD-Pro should be judged on contact, not the name.
Check shoulder contact, lower-back reach, and pressure after several minutes, not only the first pass.
Verify each regular user separately.
No multi-user profiles or body-scan specification are published on the current U.S. page. Verify each regular user separately.

- Prefer mostly stationary massage and would rarely use ROVO.
- Need every purchase and delivery detail online before contacting a retailer.
- Need a verified numeric wall-clearance figure now.
- Want a simpler premium Bodyfriend experience instead of Pharaoh Neo's robotics and audio package.

Before You Decide
ROVO movement is a feel question,not a specification question.
In person, check calf and foot fit, knee alignment, shoulder contact, XD-Pro pressure, the controller, heat, ROVO movement, and the chair's 35.82″ width. Contact HMC first to confirm current floor availability.
Call ahead for a specific floor model. Showroom inventory can change.
The Decision
Bodyfriend Pharaoh Neo.
Choose Pharaoh Neo for a specific combination: ROVO movement, XD-Pro massage, broad heat and air coverage, natural leather, and Bang & Olufsen audio. If those are not features you expect to use, compare The Palace Neo.
