This Foam Roller worked well the first 2 months of use. Traveling a lot for work, I took it to its compact dimensions that allow me to have it in my bag wherever I go. Unfortunately spent the first months it has lost some of its firm appearance. This roller is made of polyethylene. I had a boogie board in polyethylene and the same phenomenon occurred. the foam tends to sink there or pressed with his elbow. Here c same, the foam is sinking as a result of my weight making it less effective. Polypropylene roll would have been more resistant over time but I imagine that the price would not be the same. In short, good article that does its job, but it will not last long ...
