Hi,
I just acquired a 6″ x 36″ foam roller. It is extremely firm. Is this the kind that you recommend or have I gotten the wrong one? It’s not very comfortable but I can deal with it if it is the proper one.
Hi Len,
The rollers do come in different levels of density. All I can say is that the rollers I use are relatively firm… meaning if I squeeze it I can’t get much deeper than 1/4″ depth if that. On the website it says “standard density”. I definitely feel it’s firmness when I first lay on it but it seems to subside quickly. If you’re experiencing pain at all please discontinue the use and try another one.
