M.B. –
Love!
Love that it is softer than most. Takes some of the pain out of rolling but is still very effective.
Cynthia Rude –
Perfect. Others are too hard. This one isn’t
Perfect for myofacial release and just general foam rolling. Rolls well and isn’t TOO hard.
Renato Pamplona –
Such a good product.
This is a really good product!
Maria –
Works well
Soft density is the key. This is more comfortable than high density and works well.
Lush Landscapes –
Slightly softer than super rigid rollers, but still gives a good roll
It’s a little more cushiony than other foam rollers I have. Not sure if I prefer the harder ones or not. It is an excellent size both diameter and length to getting everything rolled out!
Kathy Llewellyn –
Great for my back.
Thus is the greatest. Perfect density. I have kyphosis and this is helping ease my tight muscles.
Lara Dgirl –
I Prefer this one to hard foam rollers
I “could” take a harder roller, but why should I? Overall my quads prefer this to a “hard foam” roller, and any tender spots will thank you for this one.I’m a myofascial release therapist by trade. More recent research has shown that tissues actually respond better to softer materials/tools. Not sure why so many people, trainers, etc continue to use or promote “harder is better” for soft tissue therapy. The “no pain, no gain” mindset often lead us into pain in the first place. It rarely helps us out of pain, and a softer tool can be “just as” or even “more” effective. On top of that, if you’re one of many (like most of my clients) who stopped foam rolling because it hurts too much, what’s the point? Try a softer tool and see how that works for you.Overall, its not “too” soft. It gives on top, and has a firm, foam center. What’s also nice, is it can kinda of grab and drag your tissue a bit – just like some myofascial release techniques. It’s similar to the Melt roller, but larger diameter, and maybe slightly different material, giving it a slightly different feel (yet more similar than any standard roller). If you use Yoga Tune-up balls (my other/maybe more favorite rolling device), it’s softer than new balls, but kinda like very well-worn balls. I like the shorter length, vs Melt or a regular roller, so I’m not bumping into my furniture with it.

sadly, arrived with some dents and ridges
I guess the roller is fine, but the one I received was defective. It had several dents in it and was not straight. Don’t know about you, but if I pay $42 for a piece of foam, I would like it to be in perfect condition. So annoyed I have to return it but will try return/replace to see if the next one is in better shape.
Boris –
Great product.
Heather Vickers –
Like OTPT foam roller. Less painfull than others
Amy –
I’ve had trouble releasing my SCMs for years! I saw a video on social media from a fascia release educatir who suggested to viewers to try a soft foam roller. This worked for me! I feel so much better.
Bob M –
The roller works as well as any hard foam roller but is much easier on one’s body. The roller is just soft enough to be extremely comfortable when stretching, whether it is rolling out legs or back. It’s heaven compared to hard foam rollers.
B.C. –
This is expensive for a roller – but it’s much softer than the other I have – which is why I wanted it…and it does the job…so happy.
