Rank #2 in Best Foam Roller 2026: The Firmness Field Holds a Word
TriggerPoint The Grid 1.0 Foam Roller, Distrodensity Surface, 33cm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The TriggerPoint The Grid 1.0 costs £29.99 and is rated 4.7 stars from 34,758 ratings, with 79 per cent five-star and 1 per cent one-star.
It takes second because that is the strongest record in this ranking and the surface design is patented rather than described, while it costs nearly three times the leader and its own dimensions contradict each other twice.
How those 34,758 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.7 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I’m 100kg and often found when using other rollers they would lose shape, this one is rock solid. The booklet that comes with it with instructions for different parts of the body is really useful. Quality piece of kit.”
Verified purchase“I bought this as I have been suffering with a sore hip and nothing was helping it. Heard alot about trigger points and decide to give it a go. I didn't realise how many sore points I had along my hip, leg and bottom. After a few uses my hip has gotten so much better.”

Questions people ask
Why does it cost three times the leader?
For the surface pattern and the density, and the record suggests buyers find it worth it.
How long is it?
33cm; the 10cm in the dimension field is wrong and the 84 x 36cm in the highlight is worse.
Is it hollow?
Yes, a rigid hollow core with the pattern on the outside.
Will it hold a heavy user?
One reviewer at 100kg reports other rollers losing shape where this one did not.
Why is it second?
Because the record is the best here but the price is the highest of the mid-size rollers.
How many ratings does it have?
34758 at the time of collection, averaging 4.7 stars, with 79 per cent five-star and 1 per cent one-star.
