My physical therapist had me try a foam roll at her office and suggested that I get one for home since it had been a excellent way to stretch my upper back and thoracic outlet area where I was having difficulty. Despite being "hard" (these are not comfy, squishy foam but firm) it is incredibly relaxing and offers a great stretch by simply lying on it lengthwise and opening your arms in various positions including overhead. I understand there are also exercises and other uses which might make it even more versatile, but I am happy simply lying on it for 15 minutes per day and getting a relaxing stretch to maintain my improvement with P.T.

Concerning the size: I am rather short (5 feet)and the 36 inch length goes the length of my spine with a bit to spare, but a very tall person might find it difficult to "fit" on it lengthwise.

This model is a more expensive than the one that my therapist uses, but has a smoothed surface in black which I prefered to have around the house, and which I thought might hold up better. The only reason that it gets 4 stars rather than 5 is that this model is really identical in feel to my therapist's $10- model now that I have tried them both. The therapist's is white and a bit fuzzy from use...but has obviously held up with much greater daily usage. The asthetic is nice but I might have saved myself some money by going with the simpler white version. Therefore, I can't say for sure that the color is worth the additional cost since the durability of either would be equal.

Overall,though, this is a great product. Simple but very useful.

2.0 out of 5 stars Product now shipping may not be authentic, June 11, 2011

I bought one of these from Amazon in Nov-2010 and liked it so much I bought a second one for my buddy in May-2011. While the new one functions the same as the first, it does not appear to be an authentic product. It is not labeled with "j/Fit" on the end, it is a little shorter, the surface is rougher, and the styrofoam seems to have more voids in it. When I asked Amazon if this were authentic or counterfeit, they did not respond to my question but refunded me a few dollars.

While foam rollers are great for self-massage and releasing sore muscles, the cautious consumer might not want to pay a premium for this particular item.

The 36" High Density Foam Roller lives up to it's name. I've used the less density ones(white foam)at the gym. This one stays firmer (for those you can handle the firmness on their muscles). The 36' size is great for rolling the length of your back (on the floor or against the wall).
Works great when I come home from lifting weights and can break the tension on my back muscles,at my liesure,while watching T.V. Also great for loosening back tension before or after a golf game.
Shipping and packaging was on target. Great job.
