Questions about the Rolflex foam rollers
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Is the Rolflex roller comfortable for women?
One reviewer found the width, made to fit between a man's shoulder blades, dug in uncomfortably rather than sitting on the muscle for her frame.
Does it work as well on the lower back as the upper back?
Reviewers report it performs better on the upper back, with lower back results depending more on body position.
Is this roller soft or firm?
It's firmer than a typical foam roller, and one buyer reported bruising after a single use.
