BOSSCARE GR8601
3D SL-track with front/back heat wrap · Reviewed by Drew · amazon.com live, Sept 28 2026
Why it scored a 72
At $1,399 the BOSSCARE GR8601 is a 3D SL-track chair whose unusual trick is heat on both sides of the torso: graphene back heating plus a front abdomen wrap. Features score 74 and satisfaction 84, but warranty drags at 55 on a one-year term and quality sits at 58, leaving the total under the buy line. The limits are physical — a 264-pound weight cap, a 6'1" height ceiling, and only 273 reviews behind a small import brand. It arrives pre-assembled and needs about two inches of wall clearance, so it suits smaller users in small rooms who want the heat.

Should you buy the BOSSCARE GR8601?
The BOSSCARE GR8601 is the 3D sibling of the GR8602 4D, aimed at a smaller user in a smaller room who wants graphene back heat plus a heated abdomen wrap. It ranks eighth in massage chairs at $1,399.00 and is Buy With Caution at 72. The problem is not the massage; it is the one-year warranty and a Quality score of 58. Spend $150 less on the Real Relax Favor-06 for a three-year warranty, or $300 more on the GR8602 4D for the same brand's three-year motor coverage.
Where it earns its score
- Dual-zone heat. Graphene heat on the back and a front abdomen wrap at up to 55 C, a combination none of the other chairs here offers.
- Ships pre-assembled. No arms or legrest to bolt on, unlike the RELX Mars Pro.
- Tight wall clearance. About two inches, so it works against a wall.
- Flexible roller settings. Three widths and 12 auto programs with three zero-gravity angles.
What to know first
- Warranty is the lowest factor at 55. One year limited, versus three years on the Favor-06 and the GR8602.
- Buy With Caution at 72. Quality at 58 and the short warranty outweigh strong Satisfaction (84).
- Sized for smaller people. A 264 lb cap and a 5'1" to 6'1" fit range, tighter than the Favor-06's 400 lb.
- Warranty gap versus its own sibling. BOSSCARE gives the GR8602 4D three years on the motor; the GR8601 gets one.
Our verdict
The GR8601 scores 72, Buy With Caution, ranked eighth. The heated abdomen wrap is a real differentiator, but a one-year warranty on a $1,399 chair is not a bet we would make. Buy the Real Relax Favor-06 (79, $1,279.99) instead, or the GR8602 4D (77, $1,699) if you want BOSSCARE's features with longer coverage.
