EVA Foam Roller

I first purchased the Amazon Basics roller because it was much cheaper than this roller and most of the reviews on it were pretty good. But when that roller arrived, it was so hard that rolling on it was painful, so I returned it for this one, which is made of a different material and was supposed to be a little softer. As it turned out, it is softer--though still plenty firm to serve its purpose and not compress under weight--and it is clearly made of a better material. While I'm not sure why the price of this roller is as high as it is and I suspect it has a considerable profit margin, it does allow me to use it as intended for physical therapy, unlike the cheaper product. The material it is made of is ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), which, per Google-generated AI, "is a versatile, non-toxic polymer known for its flexibility, cushioning, and durability, used widely in soft footwear soles, protective padding, yoga mats, toys, and even in solar panel films due to its impact resistance, light weight, and excellent shock absorption."

Needing something other than a rolled up pillow to do post op leg exercises and going to physical theory they were using a similar roll for two of the exercises, so I started searching. This fit the bill perfectly. It's very sturdy, holding it's shape and a great size. The diameter is the same as what I'm using at PT and length wise it's a perfect fit, allowing both legs (or feet) to rest on it, and easy to store when not in use. I did see several reviews talking about it being too hard, while it is 'hard' I didn't find it uncomfortable either under my ankle or knee. If you already have pain in areas which would be in contact with this, you may want to put something soft over it.

Good product. It is stiff so depending on pain, it can be too hard for some people to use comfortably.

A good product. Wish It had been a bit softer!

The Rolling With It Foam Roller is an absolute game-changer for my post-workout recovery routine! The high-density foam provides a firm surface that gives a deep and effective massage to help with muscle tension, soreness, and tightness. I’ve been using it regularly for stretching and muscle recovery after workouts, and I can already feel a big difference in my flexibility and overall muscle relaxation. The 18-inch size is perfect for targeting different areas of the body—whether it’s rolling out my back, legs, or shoulders, it’s just the right length for all kinds of movements. The smooth surface ensures a comfortable experience while still providing enough pressure to really work out the knots and tight spots. I especially appreciate how eco-friendly this roller is, which makes me feel good about my purchase. The durable construction means it’s built to last, even with frequent use, and it doesn’t lose its firmness over time. It’s lightweight, easy to store, and simple to clean—ideal for home use or taking it to the gym. If you’re looking for an affordable, high-quality foam roller to support your physical therapy, muscle recovery, or just general fitness maintenance, I highly recommend the Rolling With It Foam Roller. It’s a must-have for anyone who wants to improve their flexibility and reduce muscle soreness!

Too early to tell whether this is the answer to my back problems as this is the first roller I've ever used; however after a few uses - so far so good (my back isn't worse:) The roller seams to be everything the seller said it was: great quality, super firm (Can't imagine anything being more firm unless it was made out of concrete or steel:) From all I can tell thus far, I have no reason to doubt that it's going to help my back/health and be a great roller for the rest of my life (based on the lifetime warranty and apparent quality!) So I'll give my rating now and adjust it later if anything negative comes to the surface. Also, I'll give this only 4 stars for travel-ability and leave the 5 stars for the smaller ones, though using this for traveling is NOT why I bought this. In fact, I'm not sure why they have a traveling rating on this product as this is the full-meal deal in the roller world, not a snack!!! (which is exactly what I wanted!)

Great job

depending on what you need it for, you may want the longer size.

Works great, rigid but softer than my other roller with the nobs on it. This one is more comfortable and gets the job done

This affords a lot of relief for my daughter who has a back injury, bought as a gift because of the faith we have in it.

It a very firm roller but perfect for me. If you are new to rolling this is not the best place to start. The product is very good though.

It helps my lower back and bottom to release the tightness in my muscles for my exercises

It’s just right!
