Nefitco Firmness Scale

Level 6 (L6), Very Firm: Hardly any give at the surface when kneeling on the roller. Deep massage pressure that may cause discomfort for some users and welcomed by others.
Level 5 (L5), Extra Firm: Little give at the surface about 10% less firm than L6. Deep massage pressure that may cause discomfort for some users and welcomed by others.
Level 4 (L4), Firm:About 10% less firm at the surface when kneeling on the roller than L5 roller and lower massage pressure discomfort. A good comprimise choice L5 vs. L3.
Level 3 (L3), Medium Firm:About 10% less firm at the surface when kneeling on the roller than the L4 roller and lower massage pressure discomfort. Our softest roller.
A note about massage pressure: Massage pressure is a factor of the hardness of the foam and how much it deflects under load. One way to control massage pressure and discomfort for some exercises is to partially support your body weight with your hands, elbows or knees while manuevering over the roller.
Note: Firmness levels are a general guide. For additional information specific to your particular needs please consult with your certified trainer, therapist or health care provider.
