What the users sayThe Triggerpoint Grid Foam Roller enjoys a near-perfect score of 4.8 out of a possible five stars on Amazon, from more than 9,800 reviews. Users say it helped them massage aching muscles, with several complimenting the different textures in the foam. The foam feels a bit like packing peanuts and we found it could sometimes pinch when used on bare skin, particularly during movements where more weight was placed on the roller, like when targeting the hamstring. But this could easily be remedied by wearing leggings or sweatpants. The foam is firm, so you definitely know about it when you hit a sore spot. But our muscles did feel noticeably fresher and more ready to go when we used it to warm up ahead of a leg session at the gym.
Alongside these futuristic features, it does the basics well too. The Wave feels well-built, made from high-density foam to provide a comprehensive massaging experience. This is enhanced by the vibration settings, which left our long-suffering muscles feeling much fresher , showed it can accelerate the recovery of tired muscles).

This roller is on the larger side, so isn’t your best bet if you want one that will slip into your gym bag. But for versatility and feel, it’s among the best money can buy. At the end of our test, there were a few visible scrapes on the outer body, and some marks where we had used it on gym floors. However, if you’re only looking to use it at home or with a clean yoga mat, this shouldn’t be a problem.
This versatility makes the Chirp Wheel+ a good option for anyone who wants to focus on stretching and self-massaging their back, but also wants to enjoy the full-body benefits of a foam roller. We also tested each foam roller on a range of surfaces, including yoga mats, carpet, rugs, hardwood floor and stone, to test their grip and see if they were easily damaged.
