What is the best type of foam roller?

The best foam roller is the one you select according to your needs: surface, shape, density, diameter and length are all factors in determining the right foam roller for you. Some foam rollers have additional features such as vibration to further enhance muscle recovery. 

Foam Roller Comparison

Looking for a back foam roller? A longer foam roller is more versatile for larger areas of the body and don't move around as much. Beginners may find a longer foam roller easier to use as well. If you have limited space, a short foam roller may work better for you. Diameters of most foam rollers are typically between 5 and 6 inches and are suitable for most people.

Full round foam rollers are most common and suitable for most purposes. The Proper Roller has a central groove intended to help prevent injury to the spine. A high density foam roller is more durable for long term use, but beginners may find a standard or softer foam roller more comfortable initially.

Textured, grooved and vibrating foam rollers are all special features to help deliver a massage-like experience and more concentrated and targeted action while doing your foam roller exercises.

At Active Recovery Essentials, our selection of foam rollers are perfect for foam roller stretches and recovery no matter if you are a beginner foam roller or you are experienced and seeking a high-density durable foam roller.
