Buying advice: foam rollers

  1. Soft, low-density foam is gentle and good for beginners. High-density or hollow-core rollers give more pressure and keep their shape longer.
  2. A 36-inch roller is stable for rolling the back lengthwise. 12 to 18 inch rollers suit legs and are easier to pack.
  3. Smooth rollers spread pressure evenly. Knobbed or ridged surfaces target specific spots but can feel intense.
  4. Cheap open-cell foam can dent or flatten with regular use. EVA foam and hollow-core designs hold up better.
  5. Vibrating models add a motor and battery. Some users find them more comfortable, but they cost more and need charging.
