It's been a gong show trying to find a proper 6 x 36 roll in a medium density firmness. I've tried several full-round rolls that all had great reviews, some even described the rolls as 'soft', but my experience was that they felt like concrete....literally. I'm not exactly dainty: 5'10/195lbs and stocky/fit, but with degenerative disk challenges. Those other rolls were just painful and annoying. This is the first roll (half-roll) that actually lives up to its description! It's perfect for my needs. I like the concept of the half roll MUCH better, as it eliminates the balancing act and allows me to breathe deeply, relax, let my shoulders go completely, and just 'BE'...without muscles getting sore or crampy. There are also several other applications/exercises that use the half roll to cushion or prop that feel so much better than the concrete rolls. Highly recommend if you're looking for that 'just right' level of firm/soft :)))
