UltraComfort Artemis II (UC571) vs. Artemis (UC562): What's Actually Different?

If you fondly remember the beloved UC562 Artemis and were surprised to hear that it was discontinued, we've got great news for you. While the original is gone forever, UltraComfort introduced its successor, the UC571 Artemis II which has several notable upgrades that we think you'll love as much as we do.

See here the actual upgrades for the NEW ARTEMIS II:

Front-Load Open Arms

Frees up space right at your fingertips, so everything you need while relaxing is built into the arm instead of sitting on a side table.

USB & USB-C Charging Port

Lets you charge your phone or tablet without ever leaving your chair or hunting for an outlet.

Wireless Smartphone Charger

Just set your phone down on the arm and it charges, no cord to plug in or untangle.

Built-In Cup Holder

Keeps your coffee, water, or wine within reach so you're not balancing a drink on the armrest.

Removable Table

Gives you a surface for a book, remote, snack, or laptop, and lifts away when you don't need it.

Removable LED Reading Light

Lets you read comfortably at night without turning on a room light or disturbing anyone nearby.

Weight Capacity (375 → 400 lbs)

Fits a broader range of users comfortably and confidently, without worrying about capacity limits.

Final Thoughts:

Where the Artemis II Pulls Ahead

At the end of the day, the UC571 Artemis II represents UltraComfort taking their popular original Artemis and refining it based on years of customer feedback, and now it's the only way to get that Artemis experience, since the original UC562 has been discontinued. The good news is you're not losing anything in the process: the Artemis II still delivers the same 5-zone, motorized Power Pillow, Power Lumbar, Eclipse Tilt, and Stellar Positioning that made the original a favorite.

What you gain is everything the original never had. The Artemis II's front-load open arms turn the chair into a self-contained relaxation station: wireless charging, USB-C, a cup holder, a removable table, and a built-in reading light all within arm's reach. Add a bump in weight capacity to 400 lbs, and it's clear the Artemis II was built to do more for you day to day than its predecessor ever could.

Bottom line: if you loved the original Artemis, the Artemis II gives you everything you remembered plus the conveniences it was missing — and it's the current, in-production choice for anyone looking to bring that same Eclipse and Stellar positioning comfort home today.
