Under heavy use most foam rollers will start to break down as the roller is continually compressed by the user's weight. The cells that makes up the foam fatigues and breaks. Eventually, the roller goes out of round and often the roller is just replaced.

The foam roller is an essential tool for pilates core, ab and back stabilization and strengthening. Foam rollers are used as a balance training tool to improve balance for sports, everyday balance or in a physical therapy setting. They are also an excellent aid for self massage of the upper and lower back, calf, hamstring, glutes and quads. The roller is especially useful for IT (illiotibia) band syndrome. Since full round foam rollers offer a significant balance challenge, they are recommended for intermediate and advanced users when balance training or in conjunction with a professionally supervised training session.
"If you like a firm roller for your massage work or foam roller exercises and need a roller that will not go out of round then the Nimbus is for you. I find sports teams, track & field, runners, tri-athletes and cyclists really like the firm massage pressure the Nimbus provides. The Nimbus is also a nice firm surface for pilates and other weight bearing exercises. Instead of a roller made of foam cells that will eventually start to break down and go out of round the Nimbus Endurabead heat molded construction stays perfectly round even after very high use by heavy users." - Hal Lier,Owner- Nefitco.com
