Gaiam Restore Textured Foam Roller review

The Gaiam Restore Textured Foam Roller is the cheapest full-size roller we found from a brand's own store. Gaiam lists it at 18 inches long by 6 inches across, with a lightly textured surface meant to stimulate blood flow and soothe soreness, and a size suited to single arm and single leg work. It includes a 15-minute digital workout to get started, and it costs $19.98. Gaiam sells a smaller Compact Foam Roller at $14.98 and a Restore Total Body Foam Roller at $34.98 if you want a different size. For athletes, the gentle texture is the limit: it suits recreational exercisers, yoga users and anyone with sensitive muscles, but serious lifters and runners will want the firmer Rogue or textured TriggerPoint rollers. Gaiam's page also does not state the foam density, so firmness is hard to compare.
